Elizabeth Kuehn, RDA has been working in the
dental industry for three decades. She has literally experienced
the dental field from the inside out, from twenty years as a dental assistant
and office manager, to
the present day as business owner. Elizabeth's experience has provided her with the
technical knowledge and the unique perspective necessary to truly understand the
needs of both candidates for placement and dental offices.
Her career began as a dental
assistant in 1969, where she was trained on the job. As a result, she completed training provided by the Greater Houston Dental Society in 1970.
Elizabeth worked happily
and loyally for the same dentist for sixteen years. It's because of that
experience that she has known the importance of making the "right
match" between a dentist and his or her staff.
In 1989, Elizabeth made a big decision to
leave her dental assisting position and set out with a belief in herself and an
idea of what kind of placement service dentists needed. As a result, she became
a founding partner in The Dental Solution. During the
next eight years, Elizabeth built a name for herself in the industry and helped grow
The Dental Solution to become one of Houston's top dental industry placement
services. On May 2, 1997, she sold her half of The Dental Solution.
Concurrently, Elizabeth formally announced
the services of her new company, The Dental Network,
through trade journals, direct mailings and phone calls. The Dental
Network was created on the idea that clients she had obtained and
nurtured over the years are best served by her steadfast belief in the
importance of customer service. Elizabeth's business philosophy has always been
to provide a friendly voice on the phone, to understand the needs of her clients
and to work diligently to meet those needs. Today, it is that very philosophy
that distinguishes both The Dental Network and Elizabeth Kuehn
from others in the field.
In her seventeen years in the placement service
business,
Elizabeth has given support to and been supported by the Greater Houston Dental
Society, the Greater Houston Dental Hygiene Society and the Dental Assistants
Association. She has attended the Greater Houston Dental Meeting for thirty-four years, the last
seventeen as an exhibitor.
Elizabeth is a dedicated wife, good
mother, devoted grandmother,
fair golfer, better than average bowler, careful scuba diver and a decorator,
who speaks
fluent Spanish and enjoys life to the fullest.
