River Landing Dentistry Founder Shares Clinical Coaching Insights on Polaris Podcast

Dr. Rebeca Zechmann, DDS, founder of River Landing Dentistry, is the featured guest on the latest episode of the Group Practice Accelerator Podcast from Polaris Healthcare Partners. The episode, titled “Clinical Coaching That Works: Inside the Polaris Approach,” was released on September 10, 2026, as Season 6, Episode 36, and is available on YouTube and major podcast platforms. In the conversation with host Jamie West Falasz, Dr. Zechmann discusses her experience with the Polaris Clinical Coaching program alongside Dr. Vivek Solanki, detailing the coaching process, its support for her doctors and team, and the outcomes observed as the practice expanded.

River Landing Dentistry has grown from its original Daniel Island office into a multi-location group practice serving the Charleston area, with offices in Daniel Island, Nexton, Summerville, North Charleston, and Mount Pleasant. The practice offers a comprehensive range of services, including family and preventive dentistry, crowns, dentures, root canal therapy, sleep apnea and snoring appliances, TMJ/TMD treatment, wisdom teeth removal, emergency care, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, periodontics, and sedation dentistry with oral and IV sedation.

Dr. Zechmann earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and completed a General Practice Residency at the Baltimore VA Medical Center. She holds a B.A. in Biology and Romance Languages and an M.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from The Johns Hopkins University. She has completed postgraduate training at The Pankey Institute and has advanced training in restorative dentistry and IV sedation, with a clinical focus on full-mouth rehabilitation, TMJ/TMD treatment, and complex restorative care. A third-generation Mexican American fluent in Spanish, she is active in the Daniel Island Business Association, the Mount Pleasant and North Charleston chambers of commerce, and the Rotary Club of Daniel Island.

The podcast episode matters for group practices because clinical coaching is one of the few levers that can simultaneously enhance patient care and improve doctor retention. The episode explains how coaching support is structured, how doctors receive feedback, and what practice leaders should expect when implementing a coaching program. For Texas dental practices and other healthcare groups, the insights offer a roadmap for integrating structured coaching to scale operations without sacrificing quality or team satisfaction.

Patients in the Charleston area can learn more about the practice’s approach to comprehensive, patient-first care at River Landing Dentistry. The episode is available for listening at https://youtu.be/pUKYUYbXRDE.

As dental and medical practices across Texas continue to consolidate and grow, the lessons from River Landing Dentistry’s experience with clinical coaching could influence how group practices in the state approach professional development and patient outcomes. The emphasis on structured feedback and support aligns with broader trends in healthcare management, where coaching is increasingly seen as a strategic investment rather than a discretionary expense. For business leaders in Texas, the episode provides a tangible example of how coaching can translate into day-to-day clinical change and sustainable growth.
