    Why music and dancing are a cornerstone of this New York dental clinic

    In this episode we talked to Dr Ramin Tabib who runs a clinic in New York with his wife, Elisa Mello. Ramin’s story is really interesting because, unlike the traditional route of buying an existing practice, they opted to build one from the ground up. Their journey is one of adaptability and maintaining a lean operation early on, which ultimately paid off. He also shared how the limitation of working in small clinic space has many hidden benefits such as organizational skills, which he credits for their later success when expanding their practice. Ramin uses music and dancing to create a fun and warm environment for his team and patients alike - you are going to love hearing his insights. About the guest: Dr. Ramin Tabib, a leading dentist in NYC, prioritizes delivering top-notch dental care, specializing in advanced techniques and technology for achieving optimal oral health and beautiful smiles. With a DDS from Columbia University and extensive training in dental implants and neuromuscular dentistry, he's earned Fellowship status in the International Congress of Oral Implantology. Committed to patient education and integration into his practice, he fosters a culture of excellence and innovation. Beyond dentistry, Dr. Tabib's diverse interests, including his role as a resident DJ, contribute to a welcoming atmosphere in his office.

    Dr Olesya Salathe’s story is a testament to resilience and innovation in the face of adversity and when you listen to our latest episode of Smile Business Diaries prepare to feel awed and inspired. About Olesya Dr Olesya Salathe was born in Russia and immigrated with her family when she was eight years old, seeking religious freedom.

It's the oldest major honorary organization of dentists that have exemplified excellence through outstanding leadership and exceptional contributions to dentistry and society. It's membership is by invitation only and has been given to only 3.5% of dentists nationwide in the United States. In 2022, Dr. Salathe partnered with her sister to open a second location, a certified DSD clinic focused on comprehensive dental care, cosmetic, and full mouth rehabilitation.
