Ben and Gary Show - Episode 28

Meet Linda Grant - Ace Employee

Former FBI fingerprint analyst hails from Michigan before entering the dental world.

Lasted only a week as a dental assistant!

Her first foray into dentistry was as a dental assistant. Linda says she only lasted a week!

For thirteen years, she worked at another practice, starting as a receptionist and working her way up to office manager. As that practice expanded to sixty four staff members, Linda wanted something more personal.

She has worked at Smiles International for twenty nine years.

She joined Smiles International in November of 1989 where she has remained for twenty nine years.

She considers the practice a family. She stays with the practice, and she believes other long timers stay, because they are proud of the quality of the dentistry the docs and the team provide.

Not that there are no challenges. Sometimes inter office or patient conflicts arise, requiring some diplomacy. 

Ben points out that many people do not have general knowledge of dentistry. He and Linda support each other in making sure a patient gets his questions answered.

After hours, Linda enjoys her time with her grandchildren. 

When not working, Linda's most favorite activity is being with her family, especially her two young grandchildren.
