Char Sweeney, CDPMA
Char Sweeney began her career in dentistry in 1979 as a chair side dental assistant. She attended Ferris State University and the University of Alaska, and received her degree in Allied Health Science Dental Technology. She returned to private practice as a business assistant, and eventually, a practice administrator. She was an independent practice management consultant prior to joining Linda L. Miles & Associates in 1992.
Char has lectured on numerous dental meetings, including the Greater New York, Masters of Dentistry in Australia, Hinman Dental Meeting, the American Dental Association Meeting and the Seattle Study Club National Symposium. She is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie Institute, a member of the Academy of Practice Management Consultants, the Speaking/Consulting Network, and has been published in numerous journals and newsletters throughout the country.
Char’s experience and enthusiasm for dentistry, as well as her love of people, enable her to offer concrete solutions to the daily stumbling blocks all practices encounter. She has worked in both the business and clinical aspect of dentistry, and understands the unique challenges that both areas face. Her goal is to help clients create a sound business plan and assist everyone in reaching their true potential.
On a personal note, she has been married to Dr. Dale Sweeney, a periodontist, for 23 years, and has two daughters, Taylor, 14 and Alexa, 12.
