Hi, my name is April I. I started practicing pediatric dentistry in 2002. I went to Oklahoma State University for my undergraduate and I went to the University of Oklahoma.

Graduated in 1999, then went on to the University of Colorado Children's Hospital Pediatric Dental Residency and started practicing with Mark Marrow in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I really always wanted to be a pediatric dentist. My kids kind of asked me,

what did you want to be mommy because they want to be professional athletes and things like that and I just have to say I really always wanted to be a pediatric dentist.

I love my pediatric dentist and it was always a great experience for me. I was able to intern at his office in college and he was really a great mentor for me.

We've always loved what we do. We love being pediatric dentists but we just were not very good at putting our marketing ideas into practice.

We've been able to implement our ideas and make them a reality.

Since using the new approach, it's just brought a lot of new life to our practice. It's increased patience significantly but it's also just brought

and our staff loves the common goal that we all have. It's just brought up an excitement into our practice that we didn't have before.

For instance, last August we had 114 new patients compared to this August we had 180 new patients and it's just at the end of the month when you count that up,

you just can't deny what an impact that this new marketing approach has had on our office.

In June last year we had 85 new patients and in June this year we had 126 new patients. It's just astounding.

Before we were trying to implement our ideas but we didn't have access to a videographer, a photographer, a website designer, search engine optimizer.

I didn't even know what some of these things meant as far as SEOs and etc.

But they have all those people on site ready to, you just tell them what you want and they can make it happen.

They have great ideas, they make you feel so comfortable, they take your ideas and make them real.

In the past we've worked with other marketing firms, companies but every time they wanted us to do different things but it involved us doing different things.

In reality we're just working being pediatric dentists. I just don't have the capabilities to make these things happen sometimes.

I don't have the skill set to do good videos or figure out how to put things on my website.

So it was really nice just to do the dentistry that we love and have a team that could take care of the rest.

I would highly recommend that every dentist embrace a marketing approach.

It just, you know, I'm a 44 year old mom and I still have young kids but it's just a different mindset with younger parents these days.
