Friday morning we met with Cassie Guy at Guy Family Dentistry. Cassie knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a dentist. She stayed focused on her dream and her connection to an influential dentist really helped drive her to meet her goal. At that time, about 30% of the field was women and now it’s over 50%. After college she returned to Austin where she took over a practice as the first woman dentist in Austin and eventually built a new office. She didn’t learn a lot about business in dentistry school, but more was learned when she started her business. She felt that she had a lot of support in Austin with other dentist as she began and still experiences that community of dentistry.
