How Dr. Pratibha Maintained a Thriving Practice During Maternity Leave with Dentall United

Dr. Pratibha, a dedicated and well-established dentist, had built a successful practice with a loyal patient base. When she was expecting her first child, she faced a dilemma—how to take maternity leave without losing patients, revenue, or operational efficiency. She wanted to step away to focus on her health and newborn but needed to ensure her practice remained active and profitable.
