The Story Project w/ Joanna Scott Joanna Scott

Dr. Kristine opened her first practice during the longest economic downturn since World War II. Was there magic in her approach? Not at all. She is a technology geek who is dental phobic, so she combined the best technology available with a patient-first approach and grew her practice into what it is today. 

Dr. Kris’s practice has a digital technology flow that honors patient’s busy schedules and has brought exponential growth to her business. She began to lecture when she discovered that very few women stood behind the podium. Become the change you want to see has become a personal mantra for Dr. Kris as she encourages other women to engage in the educational side of dentistry.

With over 20 years as a professional in the dental industry, Malika Azargoon has established herself as a top dental management consultant in the DC Metro area.
As a George Washington University graduate, her initial plan was to pursue a career in dentistry. However, as her family grew, her focus and passion shifted slightly from building her own practice to helping others create and grow their existing practices. Fueled by her energy and enthusiasm for the dental industry, she excelled as a dental assistant and ultimately became the business manager in one of the top dental practices in the DC Metro area. 
As the demand for Malika’s expertise grew, Zar Dental Consulting was developed and now serves over 100 different practices. Malika’s commitment to client-focused, results-driven best practices is the platform upon which she has built her business and team, and she has a proven track record in increasing profits exponentially for dental practices. Given the depth and breadth of her experience, she is an industry expert in understanding the patient journey, creating a team culture to create greater efficiency and profitability, and effectively managing a successful dental practice at every stage of its development.
