Скачать или смотреть Scaling a Dental Practice With Intention: Dr. Monica Estes on Mindset, Leadership & Growth

In this episode of The Beacon Way Podcast, host Adrienne Wilkerson sits down with Dr. Monica Estes, a Navy veteran, endodontist, and founder of a rapidly growing dental group with three South Carolina locations.

Dr. Monica shares her journey from dental school to military service to launching a practice straight out of residency—an uncommon but intentional leap. Together, they unpack the mindset shifts required to grow from solo practitioner to multi-location leader, the business skills dental school doesn’t teach you, and how to build a practice that’s both clinically excellent and scalable.

If you’re a dentist, specialist, or healthcare entrepreneur looking to grow your practice without losing your passion, this episode is for you.
