| Dr. Ramnkrishna is on the right. |
I spend a lot of time on this blog with writers and other artists so it was a real delight to interview a female entrepreneur who works in the demanding medical field. And here we go. Take it away, Dr. Ramkrishna!
What is the name of your business and what do you tell other people you do?
Cooper Mountain Dental. I am a dentist.
How long have you been self-employed? What
convinced you to become an entrepreneur?
I think is appropriate without being
dictated to meet goals by corporate talking heads. I wanted to have a
neighborhood practice and deliver a high quality product in terms of
dentistry.

Entrepreneurs rarely stay in one place. How
many careers have you had?
If that’s the case, I guess I am still early in my path. This is the first business I have owned.
What are some of the aspects of your current job that people don’t see?
Maybe cost of delivering the care they receive? LOL! All jokes aside delivery of dental care is expensive and our overheads are high, cost of equipment, supplies and I have to pay my employees a living wage. Sometimes people don’t realize that. I am involved in all aspects of delivery of care, from selection of materials, to hiring the right staff, staying up to date on various regulations. Just like any other small business owner.
1 Who and what inspires you on those inevitable
rough days?
I have a great
business partner and we find that our energies interact well and we have
some opposite strengths and weaknesses.

| A comfy and welcoming office! |
Name a few of your current projects.
We are running a New Patient promo for $65 for a new patient exams and $45 for a regular dental cleaning. This is great value for our patients who are cash paying.
