Hi, I'm Adam Vega
DDS, MBA
AS A DENTIST I WORK EVERY DAY TO IMPROVE MY CLINICAL SKILL SET, BUT IN AN EFFORT TO BETTER SERVE THE PRACTICE I WORK FOR, AND MY PATIENTS, I ALSO WORK TO IMPROVE MY BUSINESS, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND "SOFT" SKILLS EVERY DAY. THESE "OTHER" SKILLS HELP A TEAM TO WORK BETTER TOGETHER, THEY ALLOW A BUSINESS TO FUNCTION EFFICIENTLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THESE ARE THE SKILLS THAT BUILD RAPPORT WITH PATIENTS AND ALLOW ME TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE CARE THEY DESERVE.

Experience
2017-2019
Mirage Dental Associates
Associate Dentist
In a private practice setting I was able to practice all areas of dentistry including molar Endo, placed implants and designed and 3-D printed custom guides, with limited exposure to sleep medicine.
2016-2017
Advanced Clinical Training and Service Program
ACTS Rotations
Up to 10 or more patient encounters per day provided excellent opportunities to improve clinical speed and efficiency, not achievable in the University setting, while being exposed to a diverse and underserved patient population.
2008-2010
Platinum Protection
Door-to-Door Sales Representative
Although I did not have the temperament for a high-pressure sales position, I adapted well and I was able to gain invaluable sales and social skills that have stuck with me and ultimately helped me to pursue a career in dentistry.
2019
Bright Now! Dental
Lead Dentist
I was tasked with building up an office that had been struggling for over a year. Within fives months I was able to increase the office production over five times and the Google rating improved by an entire point without increasing expenses or adding hours.
2017
Mint Dentistry
Associate Dentist
I averaged 20 patient encounters each day doing a full range of general dental procedures while also improving my overall quality of care. As my first full-time position as a dentist, I had the opportunity to greatly improve my clinical experience, as well as my overall speed, in endodontics, surgical, operative and fixed prosthodontics.
2011-2012
Liberty Mutual Insurance
Sales Representative
I was able to develop the critical skill of building rapport with clients to better learn their individual needs while building upon my sales experience through the excellent training and customer service programs of the company.
