I have some big news. Today was my last day with Open Dental. I am leaving Open Dental to pursue a project I've been involved with for a while. Although I won't be an official employee of the company anymore, I will still be involved with their operation from the outside, as I'll now be a customer and have strong ties to a lot of the fine folk I am leaving behind (including my husband).
My new venture is also in dentistry and actually aligns with Open Dental's values (something I've been vehemently passionate about). I'll still support these forums in the same capacity, and my Open Dental knowledge is going nowhere. I'm pumped to be in a position to actually affect some real change within the industry, and advocate on behalf of us all to reduce the costs associated with running a practice.
Those of you who've spoken with me over the years are fully aware how fired up I get about the overpricing of pretty much EVERYTHING in the dental world, and it shouldn't, nor will it continue to be that way. Jordan had the same fire in him when he decided to write Open Dental and I've caught his bug

If you need (or even just want) to contact me, my email address is now: arna@smarterdentist.com.
It's been my pleasure to serve you all on behalf of Open Dental, and I look forward to continuing those relationships I've built with you.
