2598: The Unexpected Path From Endodontics to Mission Work in Fiji

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes takes the podcast offshore, recording from the ocean in Fiji with Dr. Jeff Clark for a conversation on military dentistry, endodontics, practice ownership, and mission work. Jeff shares how the Navy helped shape his early career, why he ultimately chose endodontics, and how he found the opportunity to return to his hometown in Montana and become a partner in an established specialty practice.  They also discuss aircraft ownership, the flexibility that comes with building the right business, and why mission trips have become such an important part of Jeff's life. Jeff reflects on the relationships formed through service, the perspective that comes from treating patients with limited access to care, and why experiences like Fiji can make dentistry back home feel simpler and more meaningful.
