On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes welcomes Vishal Bhalla, founder and CEO of Wieldy.ai, an innovative AI platform transforming revenue cycle management in dental practices. Vishal shares how observing inefficiencies in his brother-in-law's orthodontic offices during the pandemic sparked the idea for Wieldy. With a background in AI and machine learning, he explains how Wieldy's suite of AI agents automates claims posting, denial management, EFT reconciliation, and is soon expanding into insurance verification. The conversation covers how AI is reducing manual labor, improving collections, and boosting operational efficiency across both private and DSO practices. Vishal also opens up about the startup journey, the importance of preserving human empathy in patient interactions, and the future of scalable, tech-driven dental practice management. Stick around for a personal story swap about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro—proof that both entrepreneurship and dentistry require stamina, strategy, and vision.
