Dr. Ben Humphrey was born and raised in Noble, OK. He graduated in 2009 from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry and opened an office in Norman, OK in 2011. After becoming familiar with the Enhance partners and model in 2020, he joined with his practice and has continued to see growth each year.

In his own words:

Being the owner of a highly successful practice, I was not seriously looking to join a group. However, as I began to explore the opportunity with Enhance, I saw the model they have as a way for me to maintain my ownership and partner with an extremely dynamic group that would ensure my success no matter the direction dentistry goes in the future.

I discovered Enhance is a true partnership model where you are able to gain ownership in your practice from the start. The partners genuinely care about your success. You are not just a way for them to increase their net worth, but a vital part of the group. A motto of the group is ‘All ships rise with the tide’ and they truly live up to the motto in their decisions and their support of each practice. Being a part of this group has challenged me to improve my abilities and skills, not only as a clinician but as a business owner. This has been an awesome community where we all seek to develop and help each other improve daily.

Enhance provides support to help your practice be as successful as you want it to be. The support is custom for each office/practitioner, whether you are a recent graduate, highly experienced, a first-time business owner or you are joining with your highly successful existing practice. Working with Enhance has helped me reach levels in my career I never would have thought possible.

Dr. Karla Rios started her dental journey in 2006 as a dental assistant, where she discovered her passion for dentistry. She completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 2019. Dr. Rios is Mexican-American and fluent in English and Spanish. She was born and raised in South Oklahoma City, which is where she is an owner in her practice today.

In her own words:

I decided to partner with Enhance right out of school. As a fresh dental school graduate my focus was to find mentorship, buy-in opportunity, and a practice that allowed me to express myself as the type of doctor I wanted to be. My first meeting with Dr. Bowman was casual and transparent. I didn’t feel pressured to conform to cookie-cutter standards or the need to do high-yield treatments to meet quotas. We didn’t even talk about any of that. There was interest in me and my goals as a doctor, and how Enhance would be supportive of that. I accepted the offer that same day.

I’ve stayed with Enhance because of their consistent support of me and my growth as a doctor. I have great mentors that are supportive and available to answer any of my questions on a day-to-day basis, along with providing continuing education for clinical, business and leadership skills.

I can confidently say that I have ownership and autonomy of my practice. This allows my team and me to provide our patients with an individualized and unique experience and not a cookie-cutter standard like other DSOs. The opportunity to have ownership, and the support provided ensures that I have a successful practice.

Dr. Ashton Tracey graduated from Midwestern University with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree in 2021. Dr. Tracey was born in the United Kingdom but grew up in Roseville, California for most of his life. Within three months of joining Enhance, he became an owner in his practice in Lone Grove, OK.

In his own words:

Enhance has all the beneficial resources of a DSO, while maintaining a private practice feel and working with you to achieve your goals. Coaching is available to help you learn more procedures, learn how to communicate with patients, and even collaborate with other Doctors and team members to secure your financial future. Enhance truly puts you in control and places your interests first.

I have truly benefited from the business mentoring that Enhance provides. I’m developing a plan to own multiple practices, which will help me achieve my financial goals. No matter what goals you will have, Enhance will make it happen! Additionally, there are many Doctors that are willing to help you learn. Mentors are available for hands-on training for a procedure you’d like to learn, an online Doctor group chat is also available to discuss any topic you’ve encountered. Our doctors are there for you to truly grow as a clinician.

Enhance has given me all the resources I needed to achieve my goals. It would have been quite a learning curve to handle the business side on my own. I also had the opportunity to be a solo Doctor in my own office, which has allowed me to gain the repetition I needed to become efficient with my procedures, all while under the care of many mentors. I see myself being a long time partner with Enhance.

Dr. Joseph Apple was born and raised in American Fork, Utah. He attended dental school at the Oklahoma University College of Dentistry and after graduation, Dr. Apple joined Enhance in 2018. He is an owner in his practice in Harrah, OK and has served his patients there since he joined the company.

In his own words:

One of the most compelling reasons for me to join Enhance was that I had the opportunity to buy a portion of the practice I was working in, resulting in immediate ownership. This meant that I would have autonomy over the office and that I would be the only Doctor practicing in the location I worked at. I had, and continue to have, the support of Enhance clinical and business mentorship, while I worked on my speed, efficiency and leadership skills.

Being a part of Enhance has created a bond of camaraderie and fellowship for me. Within the group we have a group chat that is utilized daily with different cases, sharing issues and successes. My experience with this has been a springboard to avoiding potential pitfalls and also expanding my procedural load.

My experience with Enhance has been very transparent and overall, I partnered with Enhance because of the people I would be working with. I knew that they would provide a high level of care without compromising the core values of the company.

Dr. Benjamin Cuevas was born in Santiago, Chile and moved to the United States in 2002. Dr. Cuevas completed his dental education at Midwestern University in Arizona in 2020 and began practicing with Enhance after graduation. He is an owner in two locations in central Oklahoma, where he also practices.

In his own words:

What drove me to join Enhance was the amount of mentorship that is available. The doctors truly care about your success and want to help through any case that you may struggle with. We are always sharing tips and tricks on how to make procedures more effective/profitable. I learn from the doctors I work with on a daily basis.

What separates Enhance from a typical DSO are the relationships that develop within the company. The doctors that I get to work with are truly wonderful friends and mentors that I look up to and can rely on anytime I have a question or need some direction.

I have the ability to run my clinic the way I want with the support and guidance of a corporate structure. Being part of a larger group also gives us the benefit of receiving discounts on parts and supplies which ultimately helps our profits increase. Dr. Bowman (Enhance CEO and Founder) genuinely cares for each doctor and their families. He always puts my best interest and the interest of our doctors first.

Dr. Joel Clark was born and raised in Sandy, Utah. Dr. Clark earned his DMD from the Midwestern University in Arizona in 2021. After graduation, he began practicing with Enhance and is now an owner in his practice
in Sand Springs, OK.

In his own words:

I partnered with Enhance because I know it was the best decision for my family and for myself. I have actual ownership in my practice and it truly feels like it is my practice. I am able to practice dentistry the way that I want to, and I have multiple partners there to mentor and help me become the best dentist I can be.

For me, the best benefit of partnering with Enhance is the camaraderie and knowing that I have partners (who are also dentists) who have my best interest at heart and want me to succeed. The yearly ski trip we have in Colorado is something I look forward to every year as I am able to interact with my partners and learn from them about dentistry and life. We are a group of dentists who are like minded and who trust each other. We are always evolving for the betterment of ourselves, our teams, and our patients. We always work towards improving and we are not stagnant.
