Smile Partners USA 2024: Growth, Focus, and More Than a Few Smiles Shared
2024 was another groundbreaking year from Smile Partners USA. We welcomed ten new partners to the network, surpassed 50,000 reviews (we’ve already reached 55,000 in January!), hosted regional events, added Colorado as our fifth market, and announced Dave Gaspar as our new CEO. What a year! Our teams grew, patients received exceptional care, and we rose to new challenges along the way. Being a part of the Smile Partners USA network is more than a choice to simplify processes and redirect focus to the things that matter most. Smile Partners USA is a network of like-minded practices that operate with the same mission, vision, and values in mind while retaining individuality and brand identity. Take a moment to review, reflect, and celebrate this year’s wins.
New Partnerships
2024 was an exceptional year of growth for Smile Partners USA. Month after month, our team developed fantastic working relationships with doctors in five markets. Our expansion is a testament to the level of service and partnership we provide, the people we’ve chosen to do business with, and the level of care the doctors in our network continually provide. At the end of the day, it’s all about providing legendary service and our reviews speak for themselves. We just hit 55,000 reviews and we’re proud to say that we boast a 4.8 star average rating. Why are we so proud of this number? Because it’s our mission to work only with the best in the business, and our doctors alongside their in-office teams continue to deliver rockstar patient care while creating healthy, happy smiles.
