Welcome everyone to the Group Dentistry Now show. I'm Bill Newman and as always we appreciate you tuning in. It's always a a pleasure to to do these. It's it's so much fun. I get to learn a lot and uh We've got three relatively familiar faces on the podcast. We've had one of the three guests actually on before, and I'm kind of surprised we haven't had the other two on. I've no idea why, but it's it's great we finally have uh Janesh Patel. and Heather Trombley on. Uh you know, Dr. Calnus, uh Scott's Scott's been on. So uh and the funny thing is that Janesh has his own podcast and I've been on his and he has not been on on mine yet. So or ours. So we uh we're it's great to have everybody here. Uh probably no surprise we're gonna talk about equipment and operatories and technology and some new solutions.
That's gonna be our our topic of discussion here. Uh just coming off the Chicago midwinter meeting, there's always a lot of exciting things to see there and Um this year was no exception. A lot of a lot of buzz. I thought it was actually a a really busy meeting and we don't normally expect that anymore. We have low expectations, but there was there was a lot going on, which is which I think is a great thing for the industry. So um I think what I'd like to do first is just um Let everybody kind of introduce themselves. Uh my assumption is that everybody knows everybody on the podcast, but that's not always true. So Heather, why don't we kick things off with you? You are the president and COO of Dental East.
So if you wouldn't mind a little bit about your background and then if you don't mind telling the audience a little bit about Dental East.
Sure. Thank you. Um, so I've been uh with Dentalese about eleven years now. It's hard to believe, uh, running this uh organization. Dentalese is a uh small, well, mid-sized, uh privately owned company that really focuses on a number of products and portfolio for the general dentist. Um we have dental laboratories, we have your mechanical room products, we have hand pieces, we have various and asundry accessories that goes with that. We have uh teaching aids in the form of a Columbia Denton brand. And we also have Nevin Workbenches, but it's a broad portfolio. I've been with him 10 years and I find myself in dental after a long and successful career in med device, uh, where I was in charge of patient monitoring.
for GE for a number of years and then also went into orthopedics. So my medical background and my med device background has served me really well here at Dental. And it's sort of forward, it's a little bit of a precursor to the some of the products you're going to be hearing about today because I think there's a lot we can learn from medical that's good and adopt it in Dental and really leverage technology in a better way. And that's That's what I'm doing here at Demolis.
Excellent. Thanks, Heather. Janesh Patel, co founder and CEO of Uptime Health. And I knew uh Janesh when Uptime Health was a little start up, not so much anymore.
Still feels a little in my head relative to some of the other players out there. But no, I I remember Bill, you're one of the first people we met. Uh also I told you I subscribed to the group Dentistry Now newsletter just to learn about dentistry when I didn't know. Uh, but for those that don't know me, I'm the co-founder and CEO of Uptime Health. We're a software and technology platform that helps dental offices or actually any outpatient and ambulatory healthcare provider manage how they or automate how they manage their equipment, their service, and their compliance around the equipment they use for patient care.
