Dr. Sean Mehrbod and his wife recently took over Mission Valley Dental Arts in San Diego, CA. As first-time owners, they needed support to overhaul their inherited website and attract new patients. Since partnering with Doctor Genius, the dental practice has seen a rise in monthly new patients and gained a powerful toolset for growth, including a responsive team, optimized content, and a data-driven portal that makes marketing progress easy to track.

Building a Better Site — and a Bigger Patient Base

When Dr. Sean Mehrbod and his wife took over Mission Valley Dental Arts, they inherited a website that did not meet their needs. Doctor Genius stepped in to help them get the site where they wanted it, making content updates, adding online appointment scheduling, and publishing optimized blog content focused on Invisalign® and other targeted services.

"We wanted to do a lot of changes," Dr. Mehrbod explained. "And Doctor Genius did a really great job working with us, getting the website to the level that we wanted it."

Staying for the Strategy: Tools, Data, and Results

Although the previous owners already had Doctor Genius, Dr. Mehrbod and his wife explored other options before deciding to stay with our team. “We didn’t know much about the marketing aspect of things,” he said. But after realizing the full scope of what DG offers, they decided not only to stay but also to upgrade.

"I'm very data-driven," Dr. Mehrbod shared, explaining how the Genius Portal Dashboard became an essential tool for Mission Valley Dental Arts. The portal, a dashboard that provides real-time insights into performance metrics, helped him stay engaged and monitor the data that mattered most to his practice.

Dr. Mehrbod compared Doctor Genius to other providers he researched in American Dental Association forums, and found none offered the same level of portal functionality. The ease of use and depth of data available through the Genius Portal Dashboard stood out. This powerful tool, combined with our team’s responsive support, helped drive patient growth and improve overall practice performance.

Choosing Data-Driven Growth Month Over Month With DG

Doctor Genius has been proud to support Mission Valley Dental Arts across multiple areas of growth. From redesigning their website to reflect the new brand to implementing online scheduling and publishing search engine-optimized content, DG made it easy for Dr. Mehrbod to build the foundation he needed: "They helped us tremendously sort of getting the website to [the] level it is right now."

He mentioned making "a lot of changes" to the site. Every time, the DG team was ready to help. "They’re always supportive, available, on top of it."

Most importantly, new patient growth has followed. “We really want to concentrate on new patients, as that [is] going in a good trajectory,” Dr. Mehrbod said, hopeful for even better results in the next six months. “So far, we’ve been happy.”
