    S3 E32: Ms. Ricarda Wichert & Dr. Denisse Rodriguez

    Dr. Denisse Rodriguez 
    Healthtech Marketing Enthusiast / Aesthetic Dentist

    "There has been one thing I have always been attracted and passionate about: beautiful smiles (whether is coming from my own practice or from someone’s soul). Collaborating with practices and companies around the US, Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and of course Venezuela), Europe has since 2020 (pre-pandemic) been my base and currently working with marketing and digital dentistry, tapping and regulating the innovation of processes .

    In my twenties, after graduating as a dentist at the University of the Andes, I had to go to my father’s land in New York and prove my skills there.

    In my thirties, I created a Digital Marketing Dentistry Agency exclusively for Dentists but traded it for the discovery of Digital Dentistry and the scope and reach that it can have."

    S3 E28 Dr. Leonardo Koerich

    S3 E28 Dr. Leonardo Koerich

    Hi folks! My name is Dr. Leonardo “Leo” Koerich
    I grew up in the southern part of Brazil, in a city called Florianópolis with a large, very close family all living pretty close by.
    I would never have thought that I would be the one in my family to leave the country and end up in North Carolina, but life takes us on some unexpected journeys sometimes, especially when you meet a special person!
    I completed my first dental degree at Federal University of Santa Catarina, which is in Florianopolis, Brazil. After graduating, I was invited to complete a one-year Post-Doc Fellowship at the Department of Orthodontics at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where I also met my wife, Lindsey.
    Upon completion, I received a full scholarship for residency in Orthodontics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, the first and most respected orthodontic residency in the country.
    After graduating, from the orthodontic program, I moved to Charlotte, got married to Lindsey, and then shortly after, completed the second round of dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University.
    I currently work as a general dentist with my practice limited to orthodontics. I am a strong believer that patient care starts by listening and understanding people’s concerns and desires, and my goals are to connect with people and to deliver a beautiful smile.
    When I am not in the office, you can find me teaching my kids how to play soccer, eating at the Brazilian bakery, and hanging out with my family.

Muy xevere ,

Thank you so much

The international dentist and Dr.Lagreca thank you for creating such an amazing podcast, that motivates me to pursue my dream to become a dentist and more important not give up.

Fffttt ,

Inspirational

This podcast inspired me to pursue my dentist career in the US, for foreign-trained dentists the path is very confusing and there are so many obstacles, but listening to all the stories here just made me realize that everything is possible with determination.
