Why She Was Nominated

“I recently started a study club for women who are dental-practice owners: KNOW, Killer Network of Outstanding Women. We share tips for running a practice and offer general support to our peers. I also participate in several local, national and international study clubs.”

Tool She Can't Live Without

“Aside from my team, I can’t live without the iTero digital-impression system or the Sonicfill composite system.”

Inspiration

“My pediatric dentist, Dr. Mark Webman; my mother-in-law, Dr. Regina Melnick; and my mentor, Dr. Patty Webb, all showed me the beauty and artistry of dentistry.” Her psychiatrist husband, Dr. Ilan Melnick, and their two young sons, Benjamin and Jordan, are on the list as well.

Something People Don't Know

“I’m the hairstylist in my family. I cut my children’s and dog’s hair, and I braid my own.” She’s also director of the board of the Sandy B. Muller Breast Cancer Foundation.
