Helping New Practices Thrive: Sawtelle Smiles


At AutoRemind, independence is our foundation. Since 2006 when I started AutoRemind from my living room in Copenhagen, we’ve operated as an independent healthcare technology company serving small and medium-sized medical and veterinary practices across the U.S. and globally. Our journey reflects the same spirit we admire in our clients: resilience, adaptability, and the freedom to build something of your own.

That’s exactly why we launched our Startup Program. We know firsthand that for a new business, every dollar counts and every decision matters. Our program gives young practices access to a special payment plan that lets them grow and make money before they pay us. As new owners juggle clinical care with the demands of running a business, having the right tools and support early on can make the difference between struggling and thriving.

One of those inspiring practices is Dr. Vivian Tran’s Sawtelle Smiles Dental in Los Angeles. Dr. Tran opened her new dental office at the end of 2024, and AutoRemind has been proud to support her with our patient communication and marketing software, and the know-how we’ve gained from years of working alongside many dental practices for 19 years.
