Jan 21, 2021

Doctors Chris Carlson and Curtis Dunn join fast-growth Orthodontic Service Organization

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - January 21, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

Orthodontic Partners is adding two renowned orthodontists from Minnesota to its fast-growing team of practices: Dr. Chris Carlson and Dr. Curtis Dunn. Orthodontic Partners, an Orthodontic Service Organization, continues to grow despite the setbacks the orthodontic industry has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pairing best-practices from recognized industry leaders and those of seasoned business executives, Orthodontic Partners is growing its practices while carefully maintaining the clinical care and local culture that established these thriving practices.

Both Dr. Carlson and Dr. Dunn have provided comprehensive, high-quality orthodontic care to patients in the Minneapolis and Duluth areas for many years. Chip Hurlburt, Chief Executive Officer of Orthodontic Partners, states, "Both Dr. Carlson and Dr. Dunn are fantastic orthodontists who share our views on providing world-class orthodontic treatment. They are a great fit for our organization and we are excited to welcome them to the team." 

Dr. Dunn, a board-certified, Diamond-Level Invisalign Provider in the Minneapolis area, feels it is the right time to join forces with Orthodontic Partners after nearly 30 years of running his own practice. "I chose to partner with Orthodontic Partners after quite a bit of research. I was able to speak with the founding doctors prior to my decision and was able to gain insight into the company and its mission ahead of time. I am pleased to partner with an organization that grants orthodontists the clinical authority to treat their patients as they always have while providing additional support to improve clinical efficiency and patient satisfaction." 

Dr. Carlson, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists, feels similarly. "I am excited for what this partnership means for my patients, my business, and my family. Orthodontic Partners has many resources available to us to help grow Carlson Orthodontics while keeping a small-practice feel for our patients."

As Orthodontic Partners establishes roots in Minnesota, patients across the state will benefit from the innovation and collaboration. Hurlburt added, "We look forward to working with Dr. Carlson and Dr. Dunn as we seek like-minded doctors interested in building a different kind of orthodontic service organization to help secure the future of the profession."

About Orthodontic Partners: Founded by some of the nation's leading orthodontists, Orthodontic Partners is an innovative Orthodontic Service Organization created by orthodontists, for orthodontists. The organization seeks to partner with orthodontists nationally to provide innovative orthodontic care through affiliated practices in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, and Missouri.

Bitcoin currently trades at US$82,231.14, reflecting a 0.65 per cent gain over the last 24 hours. This movement mirrors a broader 0.84 per cent rise in the total crypto market capitalisation. Having operated in this industry for over 15 years and advised on blockchain policy, I view this price action as a clear reflection of […] The post The US$82,000 Illusion: Why Bitcoin still trades like a traditional tech stock appeared first on e27.

Hong Kong builds a test track for robots that keep failing outside the lab

Every humanoid robot looks brilliant in a launch video. The trouble begins on an ordinary weekday in a warehouse, when a parcel arrives in a shape nobody trained the machine for, a forklift reverses where it shouldn’t, and a worker strolls into its path while scrolling a phone. That messy gap between the lab and […] The post Hong Kong builds a test track for robots that keep failing outside the lab appeared first on e27.

Your ESOP is a fundraising document. Most founders treat it as a HR perk

Almost every founder I meet reaches the same conclusion at roughly the same moment. You cannot outbid a funded competitor on salary, so you give people a stake in the outcome instead. The logic is sound. Equity turns salary-limited hires into owners and aligns the people doing the work with the value they create. Then […] The post Your ESOP is a fundraising document.

Before you use predictive AI, decide what decision it should change

A lot of startup advice about predictive AI starts too early. It starts with the model, the tool, the data stack, or the dashboard. Those things matter, but they are not the first question. The first question is simpler: what decision should this prediction change? If a startup cannot answer that clearly, it is usually […] The post Before you use predictive AI, decide what decision it should change appeared first on e27.

'AI artists' perform improvised jazz at Jarasum Jazz Festival

Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by a research team led by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) professor Nam Ju-han made their debut at one of Korea’s leading jazz festivals, performing improvised jazz alongside human artists. According to the university Friday, the team showcased human-AI music collaboration technology that analyzes the flow of human performances in real time, allowing AI to take over performances or generate improvised accompaniment, during the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, held in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, from Oct. 9 to 11. A total of 12 human jazz artists participated in the event, collaborating with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. The technology is different from existing music AI services as it enables collaboration with human musicians in jazz, a genre characterized by improvisation. Jazz musicians often change the tempo or create new melodies based on how they feel in the moment. Because the same piece can be performed differently each time, musicians must listen to one another and adjust their playing accord
