On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Chaz Vittitow, also known as Dr. Chaz, for a conversation about military dentistry, startup ownership, mentorship, and building a career with intention. Dr. Chaz shares how his father’s example as a dentist first inspired him to pursue the profession, then walks through his path from the University of Kentucky to serving as a dentist in the U.S. Navy across San Diego, Sicily, and Whidbey Island.
He reflects on the leadership lessons, clinical foundations, and worldview he gained through military service before transitioning into associateship and eventually launching a startup practice in Bellingham, Washington. Mark and Dr. Chaz also discuss the value of choosing the right practice model, leveraging team members through expanded functions, focusing on select clinical strengths, and using mentorship, content, and resources like Glidewell to help dentists jumpstart their careers with greater clarity and confidence.
