TESSINA BULLOCK

President

Tess has been in dentistry since 2008. Her natural curiosity and desire to fight for the underdog led her to heights she had not intended. 

She have been featured in Dental Economics magazine as she successfully and single-handedly got the insurance commissioner to not only investigate an insurance company but told them to put a stop to their illegal practices.

She have been a guest, several times, on the podcast saynotoppos by Ben Tuinei where they discuss how offices can succeed at getting insurances to pay. She was excited to further help offices by starting Verus with Ben and doing insurance verification for offices to help reduce the amount of workload they have.

Tess will always continue to grow and excel at taking the power back from insurance companies and putting it back into the hands of the Dental industry where it belongs! She grew up traveling as her father was in the Air Force, CIA and DIA- Yes, now you know where she get it from.

She is settled down in Utah now with her own family raising their 6 kids. Typical large Utah family.  They love the outdoors and playing in the water as much as they can!
