Profile
About
Kyle Summerford is a dental management leader, author, and speaker with over two decades of hands-on experience running dental practices. He didn't start in consulting. He started as a recall clerk, answering phones and working the front desk, and built his career from the ground up through real operational experience.
He still manages a New York City dental practice today. That matters. Everything he writes comes from someone who was in the building last week, not someone looking at the industry from the outside.
Kyle is the founder of DOMA, the Dental Office Managers Alliance, and the creator of the Dental Office Managers Community, the largest and most active online community for dental teams in the country with over 25,000 members. He is also the founder of The Dental AI Standard, the first AI certification program built specifically for dental office managers and their teams.
His writing focuses on the real work of dental management. Leadership. Team accountability. Insurance. Case acceptance. AI in the dental practice. The conversations nobody else is having in a language that actually makes sense to the people doing the job.
He is the author of Overworked, Underpaid, Unstoppable and the creator of The Bagel Method, a case acceptance system used by dental teams nationwide.
Kyle writes for the office manager who carries more than she gets credit for. And he has been in that role long enough to mean it.
