Today we’d like to introduce you to Tracy Dillon.
Hi tracy, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Just a few details with more details to follow.
Tracy E. Dillon DDS, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, married to Cheryl Pegues Dillon and we have three children.
My story starts back in a small town in MS. Magnolia, MS. where I was born. I am the youngest of fourteen children where there was 7 boys and 7 girls. My father never finished high school and my mother was able to attend night school where she received her high school diploma with an older sibling.
I grew up on a dairy farm in which we were milk producers and grew many acres of vegetables and crops . The cows were milked twice a day, 5am in the am before school and 5pm in the afternoon after school. Three of my older brothers joined the military and 11 of the remaining siblings went to college and received a college degree. The importance of education was stressed and the hard work of living and maintaining a farm was also motivation to be better. It also instilled a strong work ethic. I attended Alcorn State University, BS, Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, DDS, University Of MS, Certificate in General Practice, and Howard University Hospital where I received my Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Speciality Certificate.
Moved to Atlanta 2000 and have been in Private Practice, Midtown Atlanta since 2003…
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Has it been a smooth road? The answer is no. Establishing your brand in the community where the competition is great and as a specialist, relying on referrals to keep you busy.
Staffing, continues to be an ongoing issue.
