A Prescription for Success: Dr. Kesha Buster and First Oklahoma Bank
Dr. Kesha Buster had always dreamed of creating a dermatology practice that put patient relationships first.
In 2017, she decided to take the leap and start VibrantSkin Dermatology, a private practice that would allow her to focus on personalized care.
“VibrantSkin was born out of my desire to really get back to the heart of medicine where it’s a doctor-patient relationship,” Dr. Buster explains.
“Previously, I had been in a practice setting where it was traditional and really felt the pressure to see more and more patients.”
A Banking Partner That Understands Healthcare
The journey from concept to reality required more than just medical expertise – it needed the right financial partner.
First Oklahoma Bank emerged as that crucial ally, providing not just financial services but strategic guidance that proved invaluable for a first-time business owner.
“We don’t know what we would have done if we didn’t have First Oklahoma Bank,” Dr. Buster reflects.
The bank’s approach to relationship building stood out immediately, especially after a disappointing experience with another financial institution.
First Oklahoma Bank’s team took the time to understand her vision and helped structure the launch of her practice in a way that would ensure long-term success.
Strategic Planning for Success
One of the bank’s most impactful recommendations came early in the relationship.
They advised Dr. Buster to secure her family’s home before launching the new practice – a strategic move that provided stability during the transition to business ownership.
“It allowed us to have our forever home and to get our kids in a stable situation,” she notes. “That was something early on that really impressed me – that they were looking out for us, not just in the short term, but in the long term.”
Comprehensive Banking Solutions
Today, several years into operation, VibrantSkin Dermatology continues to grow and evolve. The practice’s relationship with First Oklahoma Bank has expanded to encompass:
- Business loans and lines of credit
- Personal banking services
- Mortgage services
- Credit card processing solutions
Â
The comprehensive nature of these services, all under one roof, has streamlined the practice’s operations.
“Not having to decide who do we need to ask about this or that – we can just go to our people at First Oklahoma Bank,” Dr. Buster explains.
Shared Values in Customer Service
Perhaps most striking is how the banking relationship mirrors Dr. Buster’s own approach to patient care.
Both institutions prioritize personal relationships and accessibility.
“We’re on a first-name basis with our bankers. We know who to call. We can reach them easily if we have any questions or issues,” she says. “It’s very similar to how we operate our practice – we like to answer the phone, we like people to hear a live voice.”
Looking to the Future
As VibrantSkin Dermatology continues to expand its services and add new staff members, including an aesthetician, the practice’s foundation remains solid thanks to its banking partnership.
“Each year we’ve grown in ways that have been very encouraging and exciting,” Dr. Buster shares.
The success of VibrantSkin Dermatology showcases how the right banking partnership can help healthcare professionals transform their vision into reality.
By providing not just financial services but strategic guidance and personal attention, First Oklahoma Bank has helped create a medical practice that truly puts patients first – proving that in both banking and healthcare, relationships matter.
