Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Sonya Reddy.
Sonya Reddy
Hi Dr. Sonya, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
As a child, growing up in a family of physicians and surgeons, I was fascinated by the selfless care doctors provided to their community. I knew from a young age that I wanted to follow in their footsteps and provide value and care to my community. My passion lies in ensuring that every person has a chance to reach their full potential l, and I am actively involved in Give back a smile program. I help battered women and children restore their confidence through their smile.
My job allows me to work on multiple exciting projects in parallel, and I am motivated by the potential to make a large-scale impact on populations worldwide. My ultimate goal is to optimize health and healthcare delivery for all. As a creative and innovative healthcare strategist and thought leader, I strive to empower providers, patients, and caregivers to take charge of their health. This involves improving communication between healthcare providers to provide the best customized and personalized care for my patients.
I believe in steering my own ship of life, and I trust myself the most to make the best of any situation. I work hard every day to become a better version of myself so that I can be independent and lead my life more successfully.
Today, I own a full-service dental practice that takes a gentle, compassionate, and holistic approach to dental care. I am passionate about the connection between oral and overall health and use evidence-based best practices in dentistry to achieve the best results for my patients. I am an expert in Advanced Sleep Solutions for Snoring, Sleep apnea, Invisalign, Cosmetic, and Implant dentistry, and I trained at the world-renowned New York University College of Dentistry.
I have been in practice for over 20 years and have been recognized by Forbes as the most outstanding woman in business. I regularly collaborate with other healthcare experts and contribute to various media channels, including ABC/NBC/Dallas Morning News, WFAA, Real News Media, and podcasts, as well as various radio networks. Additionally, I have co-authored a best-selling book on Amazon and regularly participate in coaching and guiding new graduates through continuing education.
Access and affordability to aesthetic and sleep solutions in an interdisciplinary approach are at the heart of what I practice. Beauty and function must coincide to provide the best oral healthcare, and my mission is to change the world one smile at a time. My practice offers cutting-edge technology in ceramic dental implants, sleep apnea, veneers, and Invisalign.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, practicing Yoga, meditation and Pilates, cooking, interior designing and charity work
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
As someone who always sought to make a greater impact, I was drawn to the idea of running my own business. To pursue this goal, I obtained a loan to purchase a dental practice. However, I encountered initial resistance from former employees and patients of the previous owner who were hesitant to work with or receive treatment from a woman. This was discouraging, as was the lack of cash flow in the beginning. Despite these challenges, I persevered with professionalism and authenticity, two traits that are integral to being a female role model. Staying true to your values and beliefs can inspire those around you. Through some difficult cases, I was able to generate positive press and goodwill in the community
