From Filing Charts to Helping Practices Shine

July 25, 20252 min read

I’ve been in dental offices longer than I’ve been behind a steering wheel.

My mom was a hygienist, so my first after-school job wasn’t sports; it was filing charts at the practice where she worked. I got a front-row seat to what patients never see: the chaos, the compassion, and the mountain of tasks nobody warns you about.

The Moment It Clicked

Years later, managing a family medical practice, that same feeling hit me again.
Doctors and office managers were drowning not because they didn’t care, but because they cared about
everything.

Patient care. Compliance. Staff morale.
And somehow, they were also supposed to “just post something” on social media.

Why I Started Higher Social

That’s when Higher Social was born.

Practices deserve to be seen for the life-changing work they do, without adding one more thing to their already full plate. Social media isn’t about vanity metrics for me; it’s about trust, community, and connection.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’m doing good work… but nobody knows about it.”

I see you. I’ve been you.
And I want you to know: there’s a way to share your impact that doesn’t burn you out.
