Doug Pimental

Douglas Pimental, a self-proclaimed dental and data geek, has more than 25 years of experience in the Arizona dental space. Over the past decade at Delta Dental of Arizona, he has served as director of claims operations and currently as director of professional relations. He describes his approach to provider relationship building as “cultivating.” Prior to Delta Dental, Doug spent 15 years working with private and corporate entities across the Arizona market, helping develop operational excellence in general and multi-specialty dental practices. This experience enables him to build deeper relationships with network dentists, as he has a strong understanding of dental office operations and the perspectives of both providers and office staff. His experience on both the dental office and dental payer sides allows him to be an effective advocate for in-network dentists and their teams. Doug is an Arizona native and is happily married with two amazing children. In his free time, he enjoys home improvement projects, working on his car and camping in the forest.
