When Purpose Calls with Dr. Ronni Brown

When Purpose Calls with Dr. Ronni Brown

In this episode of On the Cusp, Dr. Brett Gilbert sits down with Dr. Ronni Brown — clinician, researcher, public health advocate, and author of A State of Decay. Dr. Brown shares her extraordinary career journey from nearly 30 years as a correctional facility dentist to becoming a county leader in overdose prevention.

Together, they unpack the realities of treating patients with substance use disorders, the importance of compassionate curiosity in clinical care, and how dentistry must evolve to meet the needs of vulnerable populations. Dr. Brown offers deep insight into recognizing signs of addiction, navigating burnout, taking courageous career pivots, and embracing the belief that “on the other side of fear is freedom.”

This episode is both eye-opening and inspiring for any clinician seeking purpose, impact, and a more integrated approach to patient care.
