Celebrating 15 years of growth and learning

As the publisher of Orthodontic Practice US, I have had so many opportunities to read, meet, and learn from “master teachers” — their wisdom comes from many fields, from dental KOLs to management gurus to technology and self-improvement.

In the coming year, MedMark Media celebrates its 15th birthday! It’s been a growth experience, not only for me, but also a time of growth, learning, and building relationships among our readers, authors, and advertisers
