Dr. Cary was exceedingly proud to announce that his son, Dr. Jonathan C. Limberakis, had joined him in the practice, which is now called Limberakis Family Dentistry. Dr. Jonathan’s calm chairside manner and clinical excellence will put even the most anxious patient at ease. He excels in multiple phases of dentistry and generally handles the surgical and endodontic treatments for their practice. Their combination of expertise creates one of Abington's best duos. In 2021 both Dr. Cary and Dr. Jonathan Limberakis were selected by their dental peers as Philadelphia Magazine Top Dentists 2021.

Howard Farran MBA in a Day Friday, October 13th
Growing up in Southern California, Dr. Scott Brookshire graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 1993. Soon after, Scott bought his first practice in Craig, Alaska which is a tight-knit community of ~1,200 citizens located on a large island off the coast of southern Alaska called Prince of Wales. Scott moved to Alaska not knowing anyone and started running his newly bought practice in pursuit of his passion for providing dental care. Although Dr. Brookshire had enough education to practice dentistry without hurting anyone, he did not have the necessary knowledge of running a business. This part was especially hard due to the circumstance that Dr. Brookshire was in being the only dentist on the island. The power of the internet played a huge role in Dr. Brookshire’s development as a business owner and is how he learned about Keating Dental Arts 15 years ago. Dr. Brookshire did most of the business operations on top of practicing dentistry and believed he could do it all, however, he realized this model was impossible. Learn how Dr. Brookshire started his practice and the importance of having an outside consultant for business operations and accounting. Scott and Shaun discuss the benefits of using a digital scanner for taking impressions to save shipping and product costs, increase turnaround times, and the benefits of digital precision.

Some topics in this elaborate interview are Danaher’s pursuit of companies that are innovating the dental industry with science and technology such as (Nobel Biocare) as well as getting deep into the science of dental industry and clinical patient care.
“When I look at my career choices so far, helping people is the main objective for all of the companies I’ve worked for. In some cases, the products that I worked with saved lives, and sometimes it’s been about a patient’s self-esteem, but the common thread has always been about helping people. So that’s what I love about working with medical and dental products — if we get our job right, we make a patient’s life better.”
