Whitney D. Weiner is a visionary startup leader dedicated to creating and managing a rapidly growing network of dental practices throughout metro Detroit that provide the community with the highest level of comprehensive dental care. Before her move to Detroit, Dr. Weiner completed a fellowship at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in East London, England, where she provided care to an impoverished, largely immigrant population. She practiced for two years in Australia, where she was the only periodontist in a multispecialty dental practice, building a clinic that created a new vision for comprehensive approaches to dental care. She is recognized nationally for her team-based approach that uplifts and inspires her employees and for her community outreach, both personally and professionally.
Dr. Weiner’s love of helping patients started at a young age. Her mother is a highly respected double PhD psychologist, author, and professor, and her father built a medical insurance business from scratch. He also reached the base camp of Mt. Everest as he battled multiple sclerosis. These strong role models showed her the importance of family and perseverance, and she uses these lessons daily to improve the lives of others.
She was awarded a full academic scholarship to Colorado College and graduated with honors. Receiving several awards for excellence in research, practice management, oral pathology, and leadership, she was the sole recipient of a scholarship for outstanding achievement in periodontics at Iowa. Torn between becoming a physician or a dentist, her grandfather, a dentist and her role model – suggested she shadow some oral surgeons and periodontists. It fit her well; her aptitude and love for surgery made her an excellent periodontist, and her passion for building solid relationships with her patients.
Since entering into private practice over a decade ago, Dr. Weiner has earned countless awards for excellence in surgery, leadership, and practice management. Her passion for people radiates through everything she does. She is deeply connected to her local community and finds joy in serving.
She loves spending time with her husband, Eliot, their three young boys, Jake, Max, and Wes, and their rescue Pitbull mix, Mollymook. She also enjoys travel and adventure. With an unforgettable gap year spent backpacking through Central America living on $10 a day, a fulfilling winter as a ski instructor, and two years living in Australia with her husband, her passion for life radiates through everything she puts her mind to.

Legacy Doctor
Dr. Peter Jost, DDS
Thank you for your years of commitment and service to our community!
When I first started, working remote made it tricky to get to know and feel connected to every team member. However Dr. Jost always had such a lovely and genuine greeting every time I saw him that made me feel so warm, as if I'd been here for years. I'm really going to miss seeing him when I come into our Roseville office for sure.
Dr. Jost is a kind, soft spoken person who takes great care of his patients. I will miss him so much!
Although I’ve only known Dr Jost for a short period of time, it feels like I’ve known him his whole career. His patients love him and he has done his community a great service. It has been a pleasure getting to know, his family, and his patients.
He’s always been so kind and fun to talk to, I really enjoyed his relaxing demeanor. He’s such a great listener and quite empathetic!
I have really enjoyed getting to know Dr. Jost during our shifts together. He’s easy to talk to and very down to earth, which shows why his patients have loved him so much over his career. He always took the time to offer advice and tips from his years of experience in the field. He will be greatly missed at the office by both his patients and the staff!
I loved working with Dr. Jost. He always made time to talk to everyone and he's such a good listener. It's easy to see why his patients love him so much. I'm going to miss him!
I worked with Dr. Jost for 17 years; the sheer fact that I stayed with him so long tells a lot: He was really great to work with. His patients liked him too and came back to his office for decades, and brought their family to him, generation after generation. He was more than just their dentist, many considered him a family friend who they could trust. He looked at his patients as a whole human being, not just a dental case, he had great humanity, and the patients felt it and appreciated it. He is already missed by his patients and colleagues.
