About Julia Shalit

Dental Clinical Manager Onsite DSO| Adjunct Faculty at IUSD | Former Owner/CEO of Multi-Specialty Private Practices | Clinician Aspen & Mortisson (DSO-Affiliated Practices)| Educator in Biomedical Sciences & Healthcare Clinic IUSD I am a dual-trained dental executive with over 20 years of experience leading at the intersection of clinical excellence and business strategy. Holding both a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and an MBA in Healthcare Administration from Ball State University, I bring a uniquely balanced perspective that combines evidence-based dentistry with operational and financial leadership. Currently, I serve as Clinical Manager and Practicing Dentist at Multiple DSO-affiliated practices, where I oversee treatment delivery, support multi-site performance, and contribute to strategic initiatives aimed at improving patient care, efficiency, and provider alignment. Earlier in my career, I founded and operated two successful multi-specialty private practices—Pearly Whites Smiles and Pure Zen Dentistry. As CEO and Clinical Director, I led both the clinical and administrative sides of the business, from recruiting and mentoring teams to overseeing P&L statements and implementing workflow systems. Under my leadership, my primary location exceeded $1M in revenue within its first year of operation. In addition to my business and clinical work, I serve as Adjunct Clinical Faculty at Indiana University School of Dentistry in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Comprehensive Care. I mentor and guide dental students and residents in clinical decision-making, patient care, and treatment planning, with a focus on academic rigor, ethics, and excellence in care delivery. My areas of expertise include multi-site operations, financial oversight, staff leadership, treatment protocol standardization, KPI analysis, and regulatory compliance. I’m particularly passionate about integrating clinical integrity with strategic growth—ensuring that patient outcomes and business goals are aligned for long-term success. As I continue to evolve as a healthcare leader, I’m seeking opportunities to contribute at the executive level as a Chief Dental Officer, Regional Clinical Director, or Clinical Strategy Executive within a mission-driven, growth-focused organization.
