Drowning in data, but starving for insight? Joel’s latest article shows how to turn your data into a real-time, actionable tool—not a dusty report from last quarter. Learn how to make your metrics timely, digestible, and tied to action so your teams can actually use them to drive results.

It’s 2025, and every DSO is obsessed with being “data-driven.” Which is a great concept… if it meant anything.

At Image Specialty Partners, we’re committed to using the latest technology to help our practices deliver exceptional dental care. We’re excited to announce the rollout of OrthoPulse®—the first and only FDA-cleared device of its kind—at several of our orthodontic offices in San Francisco.
OrthoPulse® is a cutting-edge, light-based mouthpiece that works alongside braces or clear aligners to help reduce treatment time and ease discomfort. This innovative device uses low levels of light energy to stimulate the bone surrounding the teeth, supporting faster, more comfortable tooth movement. Just 10 minutes of use per day can make a real difference.
We’re proud to continue driving innovation in orthodontics and making life-changing dental care more accessible than ever.

From one practice to a mission-driven network, Dr. Kalika has stayed focused on one goal: making world-class dental care accessible to all 🦷💡
