SPRINGFIELD BUSINESS JOURNAL · 15 MARCH 6-12, 2023 40 UNDER 40 Dr. Randi Green works hard to bring a smile to patients’ faces. As the owner of Springfield Smile Doctor, roughly half of her clientele could especially use one. She says 50% of her practice is helping patients with chronic temporomandibular joint pain. “Many of these individuals have been searching for relief for many years and have tried many unsuccessful treatments,” she says of patients with TMJ. “When they arrive at my office, they often feel defeated and lack trust in dentistry and medicine. “It takes great leadership on my part to help these patients regain motivation to heal.” Green, 39, represents her trade on the world scale, currently serving as board president of the International Association of Physiological Aesthetics, which works to elevate physiologic-based dentistry worldwide. “I take this mission to heart, and am proud to help lead an organization committed to pushing the boundaries of dental education to provide better care for our patients year after year,” Green says. Additionally at her practice, Green is mentoring a younger dentist on the ins and outs of running a dental practice. Your first job? Babysitting. Best productivity hack? Automate as much as possible, then batch the rest. Best piece of advice you’ve ever received? You don’t know what you don’t know. —Geoff Pickle, Digital Editor DR. RANDI GREEN Springfield Smile Doctor Sarah Hanak says she uses her career to help inspire those around her. In her role as chief nursing officer at Citizens Memorial Hospital, Hanak, 38, says she saw a need to create opportunities that help nurses expand their education and skills needed for the job. She says her focus is developing specific roles that allow people not only to focus on their job, but also to pursue personal growth. Working with the hospital’s CEO, Hanak created dual roles for other employees to focus more on gaining experience and helping advance their careers. She prioritizes developing close relationships with those she works with by trying to lead by example. Hanak says she uses communication to motivate staff while holding them accountable and using the three principles of being “transparent, transformational and transactional.” “When I see talent and potential in individuals, I want nothing more than to help them see and reach their potential,” she says. “If I can play a small part in helping them get there, well, there is nothing that fills my cup more.” What about your job would shock people? I still wipe people’s butts. Best productivity hack? Email organization: Do it, drop it, delete it. I never leave with a full inbox and don’t check email at home. What did you learn the hard way? You are rarely able to teach good work ethic. Favorite food item to order in the Springfield area?
