Char Sweeney began her career in dentistry in 1979 as a chairside dental assistant. She attended Ferris State University and the University of Alaska, and received her degree in Allied Health Science- Dental Technology. She returned to private practice as a business assistant, and eventually, a practice administrator. She was an independent practice management consultant prior to joining Miles & Associates in 1992.

Char has lectured on numerous dental meetings, including the Greater New York, Yankee Dental Congress, Hinman Dental Meeting, the American Dental Association and the Seattle Study Club national Symposium. She is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie Institute, a member of the Academy of Practice Management Consultants and has been published in numerous journals and newsletters throughout the country.

Char's experience and enthusiasm for dentistry, as well as her love of people enable her to offer concrete solutions to the daily stumbling blocks that all practices encounter. She has worked in both the clinical and business aspects of dentistry, and understands the unique challenges that both areas face.

On a personal note, she has been married to Dr. Dale Sweeney, a periodontist, for over 20 years. She has two daughters, Taylor, 11, and Alexa, 9.
