A MESSAGE FROM DR. KIANOR SHAH:

THE DOCTOR-TO-DOCTOR MOVEMENT Leading healthcare in the age of AI The future of healthcare should be shaped by doctors who understand the responsibility of caring for patients. That conviction drives the Global Summits Institute (GSI) and the Doctor-to-Doctor Movement. With constituents in 163 countries, we are building lasting relationships across specialties and borders so that shared knowledge and experience strengthen the entire profession. Our mission is to make those relationships meaningful academically, administratively, and financially. Academically, we connect clinicians through continuing education, independent research, mentorship, and the exchange of clinical experience. Administratively, we help colleagues share effective workflows and strengthen practice autonomy. Financially, we encourage collaboration that reduces avoidable overhead, supports informed technology investment, and builds sustainable doctor-led practices. Each effort serves the same obligation: protecting the patient-doctor relationship. A network earns its value through what its members contribute. An experienced clinician mentoring a younger colleague, a researcher sharing evidence, or a practice owner helping another avoid a costly mistake can create benefits that extend well beyond one office. Our motto, “Learn One. Do One. Teach One,” makes that responsibility personal.

A GLOBAL AGENDA FOR DOCTOR-LED CARE This mission will guide GSI’s presence at five upcoming 2026 gatherings: B20 in Washington, D.C.; AIMed26 in Orlando; the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics (IADFE) in New York; and N20 (Neuroscience20) and G20 in Miami. We are bringing the doctor-to-doctor perspective into these conversations because decisions about technology, policy, and resources affect the care we deliver. Our goal is to turn introductions into sustained collaboration and a stronger collective voice for clinicians. Artificial intelligence makes that work urgent. Used responsibly, AI can support clinical analysis, assist research, and reduce the time spent on documentation and administrative tasks. Yet its value depends on evidence, appropriate implementation, and human judgment. Clinicians must be able to question an output, recognize its limitations, and intervene when a recommendation does not serve the patient. We must work together to have oversight over AI before it has oversight over us. That requires doctors to help shape how these systems are developed, evaluated, and used. Patient privacy, transparency, bias assessment, and clear accountability must accompany adoption. Technology should strengthen professional judgment and preserve human connection. We cannot delegate our ethical responsibility to an algorithm. I invite colleagues to join us at AIMed26 in Orlando this November to explore these questions together. Its clinician-led, multidisciplinary setting offers an opportunity for physicians and dentists to engage with researchers, technology developers, and healthcare leaders. Come prepared to share a challenge from your practice, examine the evidence, and build a relationship that continues after the meeting. Help us extend this movement worldwide. Nominate a high-performing clinician, or submit your own application for consideration, at Top100Doc.com/nomination. We seek colleagues whose clinical excellence is matched by integrity and a willingness to elevate others. Recognition should open the door to contribution. The Doctor-to-Doctor Movement is more important now than ever, and its future depends on doctors working together. Explore the AIMed26 program: AIMed26.com

Regent, Global Summits Institute C-Suite, Dentulu Smiles Foundation Dr. Ardy Hakhamian, DDS, MPHD, FIADFE, is an awardwinning dental professional, global health advocate, and recognized leader advancing patient-centered, technology-enabled, and equity-driven models of care. He is internationally honored as one of the Doctor-toDoctor World’s Top 100 Physicians by the Global Summits Institute, a distinction reserved for clinicians demonstrating exceptional excellence, leadership, and global impact. Dr. Hakhamian leads a patient-centered dental practice grounded in clinical excellence, trust, and compassionate care. Beyond clinical practice, he plays a strategic leadership role on the C-suite of the Dentulu Smiles Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering dental care, digital health solutions, and innovative technologies to underserved and marginalized populations around the world. In this capacity, he helps guide mission-driven initiatives that bridge gaps in access, affordability, and quality of care across borders. A Fellow of the International Academy of Dental-Facial Esthetics (FIADFE), Dr. Hakhamian is deeply committed to advancing the highest standards of dental medicine, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical innovation. His work reflects a strong belief that healthcare innovation must be both clinically sound and socially responsible, designed to improve outcomes while preserving dignity and trust. As a Regent of the Global Summits Institute, Dr. Hakhamian contributes to global dialogue and leadership at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and policy. He collaborates with physicians, educators, innovators, and institutional leaders worldwide to help shape forwardlooking strategies that prioritize equitable access, sustainable impact, and clinician-led transformation.

Driven by purpose and guided by service, Dr. Hakhamian continues to build partnerships and initiatives that extend care beyond traditional settings, proving that excellence in dentistry and healthcare leadership can and must serve humanity at scale.

Access to care should never depend on geography, income, or circumstance. Yet for millions around the world, oral health remains a privilege rather than a right. As healthcare professionals, we carry a responsibility that extends far beyond our clinics. Dentistry is not isolated from the rest of medicine. It is integral to overall health, dignity, and quality of life. When we fail to innovate responsibly or to extend care to those most in need, disparities deepen and trust erodes. I am honored to be recognized as one of the DoctortoDoctor World’s Top 100 Physicians, but titles alone do not define leadership. Leadership is measured by service, integrity, and action. I am Dr. Ardy Hakhamian, an award-winning dental professional and a Fellow of the International Academy of Dental-Facial Esthetics. I lead a patient-centered practice rooted in clinical excellence and human connection, and I serve on the C-suite of the Dentulu Smiles Foundation, where we work tirelessly to deliver dental care and innovative technologies to underserved communities around the world. Our mission is simple but urgent: to close gaps in access and to ensure that high-quality care reaches those who have historically been left behind.

Innovation in healthcare must be ethical, inclusive, and impact-driven. Technology is a powerful tool, but it must be guided by clinicians who understand patients, communities, and the real-world consequences of decisions made far from the chairside. As a Regent of the Global Summits Institute, I collaborate with global healthcare leaders to help shape conversations and strategies that keep patients, not systems or profit, at the center of progress. My work is grounded in the belief that excellence and compassion are not mutually exclusive. We can advance standards while expanding access. We can embrace innovation while honoring the trust patients place in us. And we can build partnerships that create sustainable, measurable impact across borders. The future of healthcare belongs to leaders who are willing to serve, to collaborate, and to act with purpose. I am committed to doing that work, clinically, strategically, and globally, so that oral health and overall health are recognized not as luxuries, but as fundamental human rights. I am honored to stand alongside fellow laureates who lead with courage, humility, and a shared commitment to improving lives worldwide.

Inflammation in the mouth can affect the rest of the body. Heart disease, Alzheimer's, pancreatic cancer and many more diseases are linked to gum disease. To fight gum disease, you must fight biofilm (dental plaque) and with up to 70% of adults having some form of gum disease, brushing and flossing are not enough. OraCare has been clinically proven to remove biofilm 112x better than brushing alone. LEARN MORE

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF DENTISTRY WITH 3D PRINTING

3D dental printing aligns seamlessly with the ongoing advancement of dentistry. While it represents a clear departure from traditional dental technologies and methods, it remains fully in sync with the broader trajectory of dental innovation. The swift adoption of 3D printing across diverse dental applications highlights the necessity for a formally recognized framework that establishes manufacturing, laboratory, and clinical standards. Additionally, it underscores the importance of developing a comprehensive educational platform to train dentists and technicians globally.

Dentistry has long been guided by the principles of form, function, and, more recently, esthetics—core elements that define the science and art of dental medicine. While these factors continue to influence the profession's evolution, there is another constant and critical dimension that must not be overlooked: the financial aspect of dental practice.

which significantly reduce or eliminate laboratory expenses. Each system requires a digital scanner and compatible software—ideally with an open platform. However, that’s where the similarities end. The upfront cost of a milling system is roughly ten times higher than that of a comparably accurate 3D printing system. Additionally, milling blocks can cost 10 to 30 times more than the materials used in 3D printing. A complete 3D printing setup is financially accessible for solo practitioners, and its low entry cost makes it easier to adopt newer technologies as they emerge. This affordability is a key factor driving the rapid and widespread adoption of 3D printing in dentistry.

The majority of dentists worldwide work as private practitioners, effectively running small businesses that are highly responsive to operating expenses, patient fee acceptance, and other market dynamics. When a new procedure delivers comparable or improved outcomes for patients at a lower cost to the dentist, it becomes especially appealing, particularly if it requires minimal upfront investment and features a short, manageable learning curve.

Additive manufacturing is transforming the dental industry by delivering faster turnaround times, enhanced customization, and greater treatment accuracy. The 3D Printing Symposium is tailored for dental professionals—both seasoned users and newcomers—seeking valuable insights into streamlined 3D printing workflows and production methods. Featuring expert presentations, real-world case studies, and practical, hands-on learning, the symposium highlights the latest innovations driving the evolution of modern dentistry. Attendees will gain practical strategies for successfully integrating 3D printing into clinical and laboratory environments, addressing common challenges and improving clinical outcomes.

As dental practices move toward adopting digital technologies, they are presented with several options. One of the most appealing is in-office restoration manufacturing, which benefits both patients and practitioners. The two primary methods are 3D printing and milling, both of

All clinical data is captured as a byproduct of normal patientphysician interaction rather than as a separate administrative task. Veevia almost eliminates the traditional documentation of health records, which was a time-consuming burden and a critical factor in physician burnout. Veevia's voice-first interfaces restore eye contact during all dental and medical encounters. The elimination of screen-focused documentation allows physicians to observe non-verbal cues—critical for detecting pain, anxiety, or cognitive impairment that patients may not verbally articulate. Veevia exemplifies how technology can enhance rather than replace clinical reasoning. By automating documentation mechanics while preserving the cognitive aspects of dental/ medical practice, the system addresses the dual imperatives of modern healthcare: comprehensive documentation for legal/ regulatory compliance and meaningful patient-physician interaction for therapeutic effectiveness.

The platform's safety architecture—allergy checking, drug interaction monitoring, differential diagnosis generation—operationalizes multiple layers of clinical defense.

Voice-activated AI clinical documentation represents a convergence of patient safety science, cognitive psychology, and human-computer interaction design. Veevia demonstrates that clinical technology should augment—not automate physician judgment, should preserve—not disrupt patient communication and should enhance—not complicate diagnostic reasoning.

Edward Lynch believes that Veevia Healthcare Technologies can free time for physicians so that each physician can generate at least an additional £60,000 in additional income if that "freed" time were used for patient care, whilst also dramatically improving the patient experience, helping prevent potential medicolegal documentation issues, and improving the quality of life for physicians, and safely storing all the EHRs. Veevia’s hands-free architecture enables real-time narration without touching a keyboard and prevents touch-surface contamination, which has been associated with 20% of surgical site infections.

THE PHYSICIAN EXIT REALITY

The offer says

$7.5 million. Your account may say

$2.5 million. An illustrative $7.5 million enterprise value can mean approximately $2.5 million in cash at closing. The rollover and earnout are not gone. They are consideration that arrives later, if the terms are met.

And you may still be in the exam room for up to four more years.

Build the multiple before the buyer arrives.

Position appreciation before value exists.

Architect capital before cash arrives.
