“The dentist-patient relationship is one of the most important aspects of patient care. Patients should always have the option of seeing an independent dentist.”
Dr. Jim Tomassetti

“Independent dentistry allows us to manage costs within the office which enables us to offer affordable care to our patients. Our office is concerned with what’s best for our patients and IDS is just that.”
Dr. Jolanta Pajek
Modern Touch Dentistry
General Dentist | Appleton, WI
“We need a group that represents interests of private dentists and their patients. I believe that private dentistry elevated American standard of care into the world’s top position. Now it’s endangered and I believe our patients will suffer as a result.”

Dr. Brett Skarr
Brett C. Skarr, DDS, SC

“I chose to get involved with IDS to help level the playing field on my overhead. Independent dentists have been subsidizing corporate dental offices by paying premium fees and with the formation of a buying group we can now negotiate as one.”

“As more dental practices are being bought up by corporations, I felt a strong desire to give competitive power back to the independent dentist. By joining similar independent dentists together, I’ve found a win-win-win scenario for patients, dentists, and suppliers."
Dr. Nathan Bloom
Bloom Family Dentistry
General Dentist | Sheboygan, WI
"I hope by teaming with like-minded individuals we can maintain or even improve the ability of the independent dentist to provide excellent care for their patients. Without collaboration it will get more difficult due to the many pressures."
Dr. Jason Cooke
Fox River Periodontics
Periodontist | Appleton, WI
"I chose to be a part of IDS because they will help independent private practice dentists not only be relevant but thrive with the continuing changes in the dental community."
Becky Bergene
Bloom Family Dentistry
Office Manager | Sheboygan, WI
“Working in Dentistry is a choice and privilege that is not taken lightly. It is my goal to help dental practices remain as individual as the dentists that own each office. Together working with IDS, I hope to help private offices compete in the growing corporate culture that threatens the personal style and quality of care that defines each privately-owned dental office. This individuality allows the dentist freedom to practice as they wish and gives patients a choice in the care they desire.”
Dr. Brad Foss
Hillside Dental Associates
General Dentist | Ripon, WI
"I am looking forward to giving back to the profession that has given me so much. With the encroachment of large businesses and corporations, independent dentists need a voice in this ever-changing industry. I'm hoping to help my peers make our voice loud and keep private dentists in control"
