TIA MEYER, RDA, RDH
Clinical Director
My name is Tia Meyer, and I am the Clinical Director for our offices. Part of my role is to help manage the clinical aspect of our offices. Our mission is to ensure we deliver a high standard of care to our patients. To do this, we strive to educate our teams internally on the importance of an organized clinical philosophy. My focus is quality and regulatory control. I work integrally with our office managers and clinical teams. This starts upon hiring and onboarding as well as throughout a 12-week training curriculum to ensure they have the resources they need to succeed in their position. Our goal within the support team is to serve as a direct resource for our offices and teams. We are here to alleviate any stressors that would take away from each team’s main priority, patient care. Our patients are our number one priority, and our systems allow for each provider to make them their focus!
