The Insight Behind the Name

Meet Amanda Acker

I am a dental hygienist with 25 years of clinical experience. During my career, I have held concurrent, often overlapping roles as a national practice advisor, business owner, consultant, mentor and clinician. I provide strategic consulting to help my clients align vision with measurable growth while cultivating positive culture in their practices. I have additional interests and expertise in policy, regulation, claims experience and fraud reduction.

In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Bachelor of Science (HBScDH), a Diploma in Dental Hygiene (DipDH), a certificate in corporate leadership, and additional education in health research methodology. 

I don’t deal in fluff; I deliver strategies that work. Polished Insights is where my professional expertise and entrepreneurial journey intersect, a commitment to helping others cut through complexity and focus on what matters most to them.

That’s the promise behind the name: direct, grounded advice that helps you and your team move forward with confidence.
