Dr. Angela Ferrari Speaks about the Importance of Team Development
Carrie Webber:
Welcome to the Jameson Files. I'm your host, Carrie Webber, and we are so excited to be presenting to you this episode live from the AACD annual meeting in Grapevine, Texas. I am very excited that in this episode we are with a client of Jameson. I don't even know how long; you might have to tell me– Dr. Angela Ferrari of Long Island.
Dr. Angela Ferrari:
Oh, it's such a pleasure being here.
The Beginnings of her Dental Journey and Their Involvement with Jameson
Carrie Webber:
I feel like we are kindred spirits. We are just so happy to be together. And I'm so thrilled that you said yes to being on this episode because I feel like a lot of pieces of your dental story and your dental practice is going to resonate very deeply with listeners or viewers of the podcast. And so, to start with, I'd love for you to share a little bit about your dental story. What has led you into dentistry to where you find yourself today? Then we’ll go from there. Would that be all right?
Dr. Angela Ferrari:
First of all, I just love you. Thank you so much for having me here. This is just an honor. Thank you so much. As for my story, I figured out that I wanted to be a dentist when I was in high school. And actually my own dentist, Dr. Donald Conn, became my partner, but that's getting ahead of ourselves. I shadowed him as a high school student, and it was one of those Oprah “aha” moments, where I was interested in science, I was interested in medicine, but that didn't quite fit the bill. I watched, I shadowed for a summer and I felt like, “This is it”. This is exactly what I want to do. The patient care, how he was with his patients, the work he was doing, working with his hands, the artistry, I realized this is for me. From that point on, I knew that this is what I wanted to do. It was just like eyes on the prize– focus all the way to the end.
Carrie Webber:
Wow! I love that. And today you have quite a significant practice. You all have really built something wonderful. Share a little bit about what the practice is today, your size, what you focus on, and the energy that your practice is for you.
Dr. Angela Ferrari:
I want to start from that history. When I graduated dental school, I went to Donald's and I said, “I'm done. Do you have a place for me?” And he said, “Come on in.” So we started working together and I said that I have one more person to bring into the group. And it was my husband who I met in dental school. So Dr. Aldi and I were like a pair and…
Carrie Webber:
He is in the wings as we speak right here. So I feel like you need to lean in and wave. Come into the camera. I love it.
Dr. Angela Ferrari:
So our practice became a real family. Donald was definitely a mentor to us. I joined in 2001. We became partners in 2005. So it was all history after that. It was the three of us. Donald actually introduced us to Jameson, and that was in 2003. So it's been a really long time that we've had Jameson to help us grow as providers.
Carrie Webber:
And we continue to work with you. You still have Cathy at your practice.
Recognizing Each Member of Your Dental Team as Important
Dr. Angela Ferrari:
It became the fabric of how we work. It really resonated with us with how we want to practice– the methodology and being there for your patient, not only with your skills and your clinical excellence, but with how you treat people and how you treat your team. Your team is everything. And I feel like that is what Jameson brought to us, and that's why we continuously have Jameson back. It refreshes us and fills the bucket.
