Buying my first Mac when they first came out was one of the joys of my life. Being a practicing dentist for over 23 years, another was being one of the first clients for DentalMac software in 1985. After using the program for several years, I became involved with sales , training, and support in the Midwest region for DentalMac, MediMac, and ChiroMac software, and continue to do so, supporting many offices still using the software across Kansas and Missouri. I also began a long-running process through the years helping with design and testing of the programs as they went through many upgrades and changes, all from an “in office” point of view.

Through all of this almost 20-year period, the ONE person that I knew that I could count on to get things done when they needed doing was Patrick Clyne. He has literally been at the forefront of software development, programming DentalMac, MediMac, and ChiroMac to do things years before other programs could do them. And now, since he has started MacPractice, I KNOW that Patrick and his experience will guide his programming team to new heights in the medical/dental software field as the new MacPractice software is developed.

After several years in the DentalMac/MediMac sales force, I met a young man about 15 years ago named Mark Hollis, from New York. His sincerity, reliability, and intensive demeanor were truly inspiring. Throughout the years, Mark has been another constant in the ever changing Medical/Dental software field…always there to take care of his customers, and always searching for a more efficient way to get things done in the practices of his clients.

Because I have known these two people for as long as I have, I know that their heart lies in the satisfaction of seeing their clients treated in the best way possible. And to do that, they have to begin with a GREAT software product coming out to replace MediMac/DentalMac/ChiroMac. One thing I know—they WILL have the product…and then some!! But more importantly, I know that they will deliver what they say, do it with the utmost honesty and integrity, and treat their customers right!
