Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dr. Jasper Bartolome, DDS . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Dr. Jasper , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?
A defining moment in my professional career was when Covid happened in 2020 at the time I was working at a local community health center. Our regular dental operations were interrupted due to the pandemic and it gave me time to re-connect to some of my own personal passions and re-evaluate my long-term professional goals. All this eventually led to my decision to open my own dental practice.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I am a dentist with over 20 years of dental experience and a co-founder of 2thbar by Dr. B, The Premier Dental Boutique in CO. We are on the 2nd floor of the Pinnacle medical office building across from Sky Ridge Medical Center in the heart of prestigious Lone Tree. Our family-owned private dental boutique practice provides comprehensive dental care for all ages, with a focus on Cosmetic and General Dentistry.
My spouse, Darryl, and I built this practice from scratch and opened for business in June 2022 with a vision to raise the bar and elevate dentistry. Our office space is modern and stylish, with luxe touches, aromatherapy, relaxing piped in music, an inviting welcome lounge, spacious private treatment suites, an abundance of natural and ambient lighting, and has been called a “luxury dental spa” which our patients rave about and look forward to their dental visits.
Our patients are our valued guests and we treat them with the highest level of hospitality, respect, and courtesy that we feel everyone at 2thbar deserves. I am personally involved in all aspects of our patients’ care, from scheduling to insurance verifications to reviewing medical and dental histories. Every new patient gets one on one reserved time with me for a comprehensive, meticulous exam and custom treatment plan that educates and involves each patient as an active partner in achieving his/her own specific oral health goals. We have the friendliest, kindest, and most professional staff and the latest dental technology and equipment to deliver excellent treatment and service always with our patients’ comfort and safety as top priority.
At the time of this interview (Nov. 2023), we have been open for one year and five months. We have 100+ organic 5-star Google, ZocDoc and Yelp reviews combined and an established patient base not only from Lone Tree, but other surrounding areas of Denver and beyond, including Cherry Creek, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs, and even patients who come to see us from Texas and New York. As a small boutique dental practice dedicated to the highest level of quality service, we assure you continuity of care and personalized concierge dentistry. For VIP treatment that you deserve, come to 2thbar.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
I think being able to genuinely empathize and communicate well with your patients is critical to success. No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. And really it all comes down to providing high quality care and service that makes every patient feel seen, heard, important and valued.
Any advice for managing a team?
It’s important to lead by example. You must set a positive tone and encourage your team members. Praise in public, critique in private when necessary. Train them well, set expectations and goals and learn to delegate, so they can be independent, actively involved, and productive. Huddle/communicate regularly to make sure everyone is on the same page. Acknowledge them as valuable members of the team, celebrate successes and special occasions together!
