Show Notes

Rick and Sully Sullivan are the father & son owners of Sullivan Dental Partners, a fourth-generation practice in Brentwood, Tennessee, that has been in service since 1970. They are best known for constantly innovating and keeping up with the latest dentistry tools while keeping costs attractive to patients. Their team is composed of experts in endodontics, prosthodontics, sedation, and implant dentistry. Unlike other successful practices, Rick and Sully are continuously pursuing continuing education to ensure they remain at the top of their trade.

Rick and Sully join us to discuss what it’s like to run a successful, family-owned and operated dental practice and why they decided to set up a bigger office in an entirely new location. We discuss why Rick hired Sully as an associate and his biggest fears with hiring a family member. We discuss what the first months were like for Sully and how they kept everything professional regardless of what happened during the day. Rick discusses the time he was battling his inner demons and why his recovery was critical in Sully’s professional career. We also discuss what they do to stay at the top while working fewer hours.

"We got here because we continually invested in ourselves and technology." - Rick Sullivan
