Testimonials

Being part of a DPLN means I’m always learning, growing, and—most importantly—never alone. The unwavering support and encouragement from my fellow DPLN members, along with the incredible AADOM tribe, have truly made this a one-of-a-kind experience. From our local meetings to the annual conference, I’m surrounded by people who understand, inspire, and uplift one another. Having a network where I can discuss challenges, share ideas, and receive valuable feedback has been a game-changer. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without this amazing community. Being an AADOM member benefits not just Dental Office Managers, but anyone in the dental field. It’s an incredible networking group that provides access to education, training, and endless opportunities for growth—whether you want to advance your career, stay current with industry changes, explore new technology, or simply connect with others who share your passion. I truly love being part of it all—from our local meetings to the yearly conference

Joining the NWFL DPLN has been an incredibly valuable experience for me as an office manager. Having a local group of like-minded professionals to connect with has made a huge difference in my career. It’s so beneficial to be able to talk through challenges and share experiences with others who truly understand the unique hurdles we face. The collective knowledge and years of experience from fellow office managers have been an incredible resource, offering advice and feedback that I can immediately apply to my practice.   In addition to the camaraderie and support from the group, DPLN brings in fantastic speakers who cover relevant and timely topics in the dental field. These presentations have helped me stay up-to-date on best practices, improve office operations, and continue to grow my career. The insights gained have not only benefited me professionally, but have also contributed to making my office run more smoothly and efficiently. DPLN has truly helped me take my career and my office to the next level, and I am so grateful for this amazing network!

Being an AADOM member not only benefits Dental Office Managers, but anyone in the dental field. It is a great networking group that gives you access to a load of education and training, whether you are wanting to advance in your career, become more knowledgeable, stay up to date with all the changes, learn about new technology or meet some new friends in the field. I love being apart of all of those things: from local meetings to the yearly conference and being a part of a group that has so much to offer and cares. AADOM ROCKS!

Mindy Garcia

Once I became a member of AADOM, I know it was the right fit for me from the beginning. The camaraderie, continuing education course and the DPLN meetings have been such a blessing to me. When I became an office manager in 2022, I had no idea where to start and then I found AADOM and then I found my local tribe. The help has been tremendously.
