For many years, I was a member of an orthodontic study club originally comprised of nine (9) other Orthodontists. I had been invited to join the study club shortly after purchasing my practice and was the youngest member for a long time. Each member of the study club was an Orthodontist in private practice.
We met on a monthly basis to discuss treatment cases and share ideas regarding practice management. There was never an attitude of competition between us and we took turns meeting at each other's offices for hosting. The study club was so successful, we developed a legal agreement between us to assist any practice where the Orthodontist became incapacitated or worse for up to nine (9) months.
One by one, the members of the study club retired and the "Insurance Policy" we formed between us eventually dissolved. The introduction of Covid forced me to evaluate many factors, including the loss of security resulting from dissolution of our study club and the "Insurance Policy" we had formed. In 2021, I decided it was time to form a new group of colleagues committed to the ideals once shared with my former study club members.
In June of 2022, I merged my practice with Havens Orthodontics. Together, we are committed to working with other Orthodontists (Dr. Jon Dzingle) creating environments of learning and mentoring. Since the merger, our office implemented scanning (eliminating most of the unpleasant, goopy impressions) and we are piloting a new inventory system, which will be implemented in other Havens Orthodontics offices.
The merger of our practices allows individual autonomy to continue with the advantage of friendship, learning and exchanging information benefiting our patients. I am not going anywhere but forward, and watch for a new sign, "Jusino Orthodontics" to be added to the Merchants Marketplace entry.
Patients eligible for orthodontic benefits may notice EOB's (explanation of benefits) referencing "Jusino Orthodontics," or "Havens Orthodontics." As a service to you, our staff continues to facilitate necessary insurance claims and you should not be concerned. For the All Star Team, it has been "business as usual."
Texting is the most efficient means of communicating with our office. Members of the All Star Team have access to the practice management system and text messaging on their cell phones, tablets and laptops. Regardless of the day or time - text the office (248) 476-3000 for quickest response.
