Erika Pusillo is the Practice Optimizer at Spodak Dental Group in Delray Beach, Florida. She began her dental career in 2009 as a dental assistant in sterilization. One of her favorite quotes by Tony Robbins, “the only impossible journey is the one you never begin,” inspired her to pursue larger, seemingly impossible dreams. Now she leads a team of 50 in a single location, multi-specialty, state-of-the-art practice. Erika has a passion for reading, learning and mentoring. She earned her DAADOM distinction in 2022 and has her sights set to speak at a future AADOM conference.

Community Greening Tree Planting
Beach Clean Up

Boynton Beach Angels Food Drive
Toys for Tots
Freedom Day USA (Free dental care to active military and their families)
