Success Through Partnership
Doctors Alison Cadaret and Sonja Sproul enjoy success at their dental practices in Eugene’s Coburg Road Dental Building. The pandemic in 2020, however, brought new challenges.
Quick Support from OPB
Fortunately, Sonja had recently switched to Oregon Pacific Bank. She connected Alison with local bankers Vicki Gray and Megan Horvath, who helped both dentists secure PPP loans quickly.
“Within a day, I had a PPP loan, and that was a huge relief,” says Alison.
The Value of Relationship Banking
Sonja appreciated the personal, community-focused banking experience. She’s glad she switched to OPB when she did.
“I was looking to go back to that smaller, personal, community-sized banking experience, and I’m really glad I did that,” she says. “I encouraged Alison to change banks because I had such a positive experience.”
Vicki, SVP and Relationship Banking Team Leader at OPB’s Eugene branch, says the experience is just one example of how OPB is ready to respond when business owners need help. “Oregon Pacific has a real commitment to relationship banking,” she says. “A team of experts in banking can really save a business owner a lot of time.”
Megan, VP and Commercial Relationship Manager, agrees. “To me, relationship banking is knowing you can call and talk to your banker and get answers, get help for your business, get a creative solution.”
Refinancing for the Future
After the pandemic, Sonja and Alison refinanced their dental building with OPB. Now, they focus on patient dental health and improving smiles.
“To give the patient that experience and the end result, looking in the mirror, you know it’s going to impact their life and their self-confidence,” Sonja says.
Alison says she finds helping patients very rewarding. “I love the artistry of dentistry and I get to work with a great team, and we have a lot of fun.”
Ready to Help
Vicki is proud OPB could support their clients. “Having exposure to so many types of small business owners allow us to listen differently,” Vicki says. “What we have with Dr. Cadaret and Dr. Sproul is a really good example of what a local community bank can provide.”
