From the moment she began her dental career, Dr. Monica Mossad knew she was destined to create something of her own. After working as an associate dentist in several offices for three years, she took a leap of faith and purchased her first small part-time practice. That bold move ignited her entrepreneurial spirit, leading her to acquire Elice Dental Care eight years ago—a venture that quickly flourished and became a cornerstone of her professional success.

For Dr. Mossad, dentistry has always been about more than just teeth—it’s about caring for people and creating a space where patients feel genuinely valued. Her passion for ownership stemmed from a desire to practice dentistry on her own terms, ensuring every patient receives the level of care she believes they truly deserve. Purchasing her first practice was a defining moment, one that gave her the confidence to elevate her career and her business to new heights. Her inspiration runs deep, shaped by her immigrant parents who came to the U.S. with determination and resilience. Their unwavering work ethic and perseverance continue to motivate her every day.

Reflecting on her journey, Dr. Mossad is proudest of how far she’s taken her business.“It’s not easy to take a small business and grow it to its fullest potential,” she says, “but I’m so blessed to have done that.” Of course, success hasn’t come without challenges. From facing harsh criticism to managing the emotional and mental toll of entrepreneurship, she’s learned to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth. Through it all, Dr. Mossad’s guiding philosophy remains simple: treat every patient like family. Her compassionate approach fosters a safe, welcoming environment—one that strengthens both her practice and her community.
