Meet Dr. Rachel Eglash: From Corporate Dentistry to Successful Startup
Are you a dentist or dental startup looking to create a practice that truly reflects your values and goals? You're not alone. With the right dental startup consulting team in your corner, you can turn that vision into a thriving, purpose-driven practice.
Take it from Dr. Rachel Eglash, founder of Eglash Dental Studio in Squirrel Hill, PA. With our guidance and her own determination, she stepped away from corporate dentistry and built the practice of her dreams.
Choosing the Startup Path
Starting from scratch can feel intimidating—but for Dr. Eglash, it was the only path that allowed her full creative and clinical control. After years of feeling boxed in by the limitations of corporate dentistry, she decided to take the leap into entrepreneurship. The result? A practice that reflects her values, her leadership style, and her passion for personalized care.
Overcoming Challenges
Dental startups aren’t without their hurdles. From construction delays to staffing issues, the journey can get bumpy. But with the right support, those bumps don’t have to derail your progress. Dr. Eglash leaned on our expert dental consulting services to navigate each step with confidence—and you can, too. When you anticipate challenges and have the right strategy in place, you’re ready for anything.
Building a Culture
Culture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the heartbeat of a thriving dental practice. At Eglash Dental Studio, Dr. Eglash prioritized team collaboration, personalized patient care, and genuine community involvement. This intentional culture became the foundation for both business growth and patient loyalty. Our consulting services help dentists define and develop cultures that drive long-term success.
Leading with Purpose
What sets successful practices apart? Vision. And leadership that’s rooted in purpose.
Dr. Eglash built her practice by treating her team like family and staying crystal-clear on her “why.” That clarity not only helped her build a strong team—it helped her serve patients in a way that felt authentic and fulfilling. Through our dental business development strategies, we help startup owners discover their purpose and translate it into action.
