The Worms happened to be together in the same place for more than a half hour, so we decided to do a quick podcast to give our listeners an update as to what we've been up to. Cheers!

We caught up with Dr. Ian Hoffman after he assisted Justin in establishing his non-profit dental practice, New Horizon Dental Center in Tempe, AZ. They discuss the rare instance of a win-win-win situation in regards to the New Horizon Dental Center and Implant Pathway. Special thanks to Lisa Moler of MedMark Media for connecting Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Moody to make this a possibility!

After overcoming a serious health challenge as a kid, Ian is passionate about improving access to health, wellness, and medical services for low-income and under-served populations around the country.

"One of my favorite things is knowing that with less stress and anxiety about student debt, doctors are better able to focus on what matters most: their family, their patients, and their quality of life!"
