Hey everyone, welcome back to the Group Dentistry Now show. Uh I'm Bill Newman, and as always, we appreciate you tuning in. I'm excited to have these two guests on the show uh from 42 North Dental. Uh we've we have Priyanki who's been on the podcast at least one time. She'll correct me, it might be twice. I know I was looking back through the archives. Twice? Okay. All right. Uh I look back. That's Well, the last time I think was about four or five years ago. It's been a while, right? So you have you have some big updates for us. For sure. We're sure. Well, good. And Greg, we we have not had you on the podcast before. Uh it's uh kind of an interesting story. So uh Priyanki um Rolly Walla is the senior manager of talent acquisition of Forty Two North, and Greg Wapitt is the chief development officer at Forty Two North.
And Greg's got an interesting story because he was previously at Forty Two North. actually uh was out of the industry for a while and came back. So we brought him on to talk about why he's back at 42 North and and what 42 North is doing a little bit differently that they haven't been doing in the past couple years. Priyanki's gonna give us an update on recruiting, what her strategies are, what she's seeing with younger clinicians. and everything in between. So we're gonna talk about affiliations and acquisitions and we're gonna talk about recruiting uh doctors and and what that looks like in twenty twenty six. So thank thank you both for for being on. I think this will be a a really enjoyable podcast.
And I think for people in the audience, you're gonna get some really um good direction from what Priyanki's doing on the recruiting side and Greg and 42 North's focus on the acquisition and affiliation side. Uh You may know Priyanki, you may know Greg, you may not. So I'm gonna let them do some introductions. Priyanki, a little bit about your background. You've been at 42 North for what, eleven years or so? Quite a while. Uh so a little bit about your background and then your role at 42 North.
Yeah, that's correct. I'm actually gonna be celebrating my eleven year anniversary this October. So I'm excited about that. Um, so yeah, I mean I've been with the organization for eleven years. My my my title officially is a senior manager of talent acquisition. Um, forty two North Dental, I think for those of you that don't know, we are technically a New England-based dental support organization. We've got about a hundred plus practices all across nine different states. Um, although the bread and butter of our bread and butter of our business is right here in um New England, if that makes sense. So we're we are technically in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, New York, New Jersey.
And Greg, please uh please correct me if I'm missing a single state, because that's that happens every once in a while. But um my role here is really to help uh grow the organization through doctor recruitment. So as we all know, a dental practice really can't survive without any of the staff. Uh, but really we can't survive obviously without the doctor that's there. So in-house trying to like hire in-house doctors. And specialists to grow the practice is essentially my role within the organization. So we've got a great department that's working with us as well. So it's not just myself anymore. I think that's the biggest change from one we probably spoke about five years ago or so, Bill. So we've got a great team and a great department where essentially we have different roles spread out in our division just to essentially build the pipeline for.
