From Hamster Wheel to Hero: Dr. Rick Redmond’s $4M Leap

Dr. Rick Redmond

When you meet Dr. Rick Redmond, you’re not just meeting a dentist—you’re meeting a visionary who refused to stay stuck.

Once a solo practitioner in small-town Sylacauga, Alabama, Rick was doing what so many dentists do: grinding. Long hours. High stress. No exit strategy. But instead of riding that hamster wheel into the ground, he made a bold move:

👉 He partnered with Sunrise Dental Solutions, and everything changed.

🚀 Let’s Talk Results:

  • 📈 Production skyrocketed from $1M to $4M
  • 🧑‍⚕️ He brought on two associate dentists
  • 🏗️ Expanded his office—not once, but twice
  • 💡 Built a powerful team culture rooted in leadership
  • 🙌 Learned to market like a boss (goodbye, old-school reluctance)

“I realized I couldn’t keep doing it all myself,” Rick says. “I didn’t just want to work—I wanted to build something. Sunrise showed me how.”

🌟 More Than Numbers:

Rick didn’t just scale his practice—he changed his life:

  • Created a true leadership team
  • Built systems that don’t rely on him being everywhere
  • Formed real friendships with other Sunrise docs
  • Rediscovered his joy in both dentistry and mentorship

“Sunrise gave me tools, confidence, and a network I didn’t even know I needed.”

Bravo, Dr. Redmond! You’re proof that small-town docs can dream—and deliver—BIG.

Southern Smiles of Sylacauga is located at 101 S Douglas Ave, Sylacauga, AL 35150.
