Leoti dentist finds patient base as dream clinic grows
Joanne Brown and Craig Sandlin opened Great Plains Family Dentistry in Leoti at 201 W Broadway after moving from Garden City. The clinic serves a rural community with state of the art digital x rays and low fees. They faced loans of 500000 and 184000 in equipment but anticipate a 10 year loan repayment and strong local support. The EZ EC aid did not grant funds but loans helped establish the practice, which quickly booked three weeks to a month ahead and welcomed 600 patients through its doors.
