Nancy Kagan’s journey in the dental sector began with a hands-on approach as a Registered Dental Hygienist after graduating from the Forsyth School for Dental Hygienists. This clinical experience ignited a passion within her to contribute more broadly to the dental industry. Recognizing a critical gap in specialized temporary staffing solutions, Nancy pioneered ‘Dental Temporaries’. This innovative agency quickly became a valuable resource for the dental community, setting the stage for her next significant venture.
In 2004, building upon her deep understanding of the dental landscape, Nancy Kagan founded Summit Dental Partners. Her vision was clear: to create a company that provides dental practices with the systems and procedures necessary for enhanced efficiency and success. Summit Dental Partners distinguished itself by fostering collaborative relationships, working closely with both dentists and their staff. This partnership-focused approach, built on trust and a commitment to understanding each practice’s specific goals and obstacles, became a hallmark of their service. As client practices experienced tangible improvements and growth, Summit Dental Partners rapidly gained a strong reputation as a leading dental practice consulting firm.
However, Nancy Kagan and her team remained attuned to the evolving needs of their clients. Through their expanding network of dental practice teams across the Northeast and beyond, a recurring challenge became apparent: accounts receivable (A/R) and the complexities of insurance payment collection and posting. In response to this critical pain point, Summit Dental Partners launched a dedicated outsourcing division in 2018. By assembling a team of experienced professionals focused on meticulous detail, Summit Dental Outsourcing provides dentists and their teams nationwide with invaluable peace of mind, streamlining their financial processes.
Looking ahead, Summit Dental Partners is poised to continue its trajectory of adaptation and innovation within the dynamic dental industry. As the business climate for dental practices continues to evolve, Summit Dental Partners remains committed to providing cutting-edge solutions and support to meet the ever-changing needs of modern dentists. The future for Summit Dental Partners is undoubtedly shaped by the needs of the dental professionals they serve, promising continued growth and impactful contributions to the industry.
