In his late 60s, Dr. Hamilton has appointed two new directors, Dr. Hannah Hoera and Sarah Spruyt, to help lead the practice alongside himself as managing director. The practice is growing, with more dentists, dental hygienists, and reception staff being employed to accommodate a larger client base from Otago and beyond.
Dr. Hamilton’s goal is to remove barriers to dental care and ensure that patients feel empowered to make decisions about their oral health. He emphasizes the importance of succession planning for businesses, especially those owned by older individuals like himself. By delegating day-to-day tasks to his team, Dr. Hamilton can focus on his areas of expertise, such as implant delivery and public health initiatives.
With a focus on patient-centered care, Dr. Hamilton and his team aim to make dental visits comfortable and efficient. They understand the impact of past negative experiences on patients’ attitudes towards dental care and strive to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel in control of their treatment decisions.
Ultimately, Dr. Hamilton believes that dentistry is about more than just teeth—it’s about caring for people and improving their overall health and well-being. By prioritizing patient needs and focusing on preventive care, Synergy Dental is committed to providing high-quality dental services to the community.
