Real-world guidance from a dentist who has started, acquired, and exited multiple practices — and still treats patients. No theory. No guesswork.
I'm a practicing owner dentist with over 16 years of clinical experience — and I still treat patients today. That's not a footnote, it's the foundation of everything I teach. I know what it feels like to sit chairside after a long day and wonder if you made the right decisions.
Over my career I've started practices from scratch, acquired existing ones, negotiated leases, navigated insurance, built teams — and successfully exited multiple times. I've made expensive mistakes so you don't have to, and I've developed frameworks that work in the real world, not just on paper.
My mission is simple: help new grads and aspiring owners enjoy dentistry, make confident decisions, and build careers that support the fulfilling life they worked so hard for. You deserve guidance from someone who has lived every stage of this journey — and is still in it.
Whether you're a new grad evaluating your first contract or a dentist ready to acquire a practice, you get guidance from someone who's done it — not read about it.
