Getting to know Mary Beth

Mary Beth is uniquely talented in making practice data meaningful and actionable for her clients to help them transform their practices into smarter, happier and more profitable businesses. She graduated from the University of Tennessee and in her early career worked as a dental hygienist and practice manager for five years before entering the world of software. Mary Beth served as the developer-practice liaison when the first practice management software was being built in the late 1980's. She has had a vision for elevating practice performance leveraging progressive thinking and technology since the beginning. In 2010, Mary Beth began the journey of building her dream -- a cloud-based business metrics tool that would allow her team to collaborate with Gaidge 360 Consulting clients.

Today, Gaidge is managed by an amazing leadership team, a group of inspired software developers, and a passionate support team. Gaidge is a priceless tool for orthodontists and orthodontic teams that has elevated the way practices manage their businesses today. The software has become a fixture with industry consultants, financial and wealth management firms, study groups and the American Association of Orthodontists.

You'll often find MBK boarding a plane in Atlanta, traveling to domestic and international destinations as she brings a fresh perspective to existing challenges, designs strategies for success and develops high performance practices. Mary Beth and her husband, Ken, live in North Georgia in close proximity to their 4 children and 11 grandchildren. She is a Southern host, entertainer of friends, enthusiastic gardener, player of cards, lover of dogs, and an outrageously "spoilacious" grandmother.
