Quotes

“What you learn in school is a drop in the bucket to what you learn when you first get out.”

“I’ve been with Midwest and I’ve never had a quota, clinically.”

“We were able to get those items in high demand, versus some private practices.”

“A lot less travel, a lot more Zoom.”

“ADHA has impacted me both personally and professionally.”

“I grew up on a dairy farm so I was working since I could walk.”

“Whether you work for a DSO or private practice the biggest thing I advocate for is lifelong learning.”

“Don’t get so stuck in your ways that you are not open to continual learning, because that is what keeps you relevant.”
