Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran 704 Empower Your Practice! with Dr. Karah Maloley : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran
Dr. Karah started her career in Counseling. Within mental health, she was hired into an Executive Director role, where she discovered leadership excited her.
After marrying her dentist husband in 2002, their adventures continued in Europe while Dr. David Maloley served as an Army officer in the dental corps. Karah worked as a civilian contractor for the Army in Germany and with the VA while living in Italy.
When David was done with his military career, in 2007, Dr. Karah joined the founders team and served as Chief Knowledge Officer of EQmentor, a professional development company focusing on mentoring and emotional intelligence. During this entrepreneurial venture, she completed her Doctorate of Management in Organizational Leadership from the University of Phoenix (in 2009).
In search of a more “European” way of life, Karah and David moved to the Vail and Beaver Creek resort area of Colorado in the fall of 2009 to start a dental practice, Vail Valley Dental Care.
Their family grew by one on May 5, 2010 with the birth of their son, Bennett.
Interfacing with dental patients – and realizing their remarkable response to heartfelt care – inspired Karah to create a workbook, Where is the Love? The 52-step dental practice customer care makeover system.
In 2012, Karah began working with the Vail Leadership Institute, now called Vail Centre. She hosts a mastermind groups, leads workshops and facilitates retreats.
In the summer of 2013, David and Karah started Relentless Dentist podcast — I (Dr. Howard Farran) was David’s first guest! On November 2013, Karah (at 39 years old) had a major health incident and suffered a stroke while at David’s dental office. Luckily she was found by David in his admin office and she received 2 stents in her internal carotid artery at the hospital in Denver. She is so proud to be a stroke survivor and able to speak again!
In 2016, Karah decided it was time to match up leadership and dentistry. Leading Dentist is her podcast and she just completed a new online course, Being a (Dental) Boss.
