Being a dentist that intentionally considers their practice a business is rare. Dr. Ashley Humlicek, with Humlicek Family Dental, talks with Don and Ebony about her unique perspective as a healthcare provider that focuses on her practice as an entrepreneurial opportunity.
About two and a half years ago, Dr. Ashley Humlicek purchased a practice from a retiring dentist that is now known as Humlicek Family Dental. At her practice, Dr. Ashley is always striving to provide a customer-oriented experience that is different from what many have come to expect at the dentist. Everything they do is purposeful and intentional so they can be the best for their patient,s whether that is implementing new technology, creating a relaxing environment for the patients or offering the best payment options to accommodate each person's insurance needs.
Dr. Ashley is a North Dakota native and formerly a Division I athlete at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she received NCAA Academic All-Big 10 recognition all four years of her collegiate swimming career. Now, Dr. Ashley is a licensed dentist from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Dentistry where she was the class president, Dental Mission group leader, and American Student Dental Association Vice President.
