Seeing new faces here so just in case you’re wondering what this content is all about. A little about me.
Nobody tells you the hardest part of dental school is everything that comes after. 😅
I’m Jonathan — and I spent 10 years inside one of the largest dental-specific lenders in the country. $80M+ in loans. 520+ practices. I had a front-row seat to every mistake first-time owners make before they even open their doors.
So I left corporate banking and went independent — because dentists needed someone in their corner.
Now I help doctors buy practices, build from scratch, and get to ownership without the costly surprises nobody warned them about.
Flat fee. No surprises. No BS. Just me, in your corner. 🦷💼
If practice ownership is on your radar — you’re in the right place. Follow along.

Starting or Buying your first dental practice
This page is dedicated to challenging those dentists who want to chase their dreams, to go and do it! What if their advice doesn't work?
With a team of 70 practice coaches across the country we feel like we have the ability to support every doctor in chasing their dream of buying or starting their first practice. Too many doctors try to do it on their own with little help from others and limited advice based on friends or family who have only done it once or twice. Why not surround yourself to give you access to the best knowledge
🚀💯Consistency Beats Creativity Every Time
Podcast episode 15 NUMBER 1 tip!
The dentists growing the fastest online aren’t posting perfectly—they’re posting consistently. Here’s why showing up every day matters more than any algorithm, trend, or content hack.
I had the pleasure of talking to We discuss the toughest aspects of balancing being a business owner, mom, and wife. While it doesn’t always feel difficult, recently she’s noticed the pressure creeping up. The hardest part has been reaching out for help! A valuable episode for all women business owners and especially for those asking how they can even do it.
The best talent may not be within a 10 -20 min drive from your practice but you’re still looking for team members as if that’s true. Listen to this episode to understand how the market has shifted and what you can do as a new practice owner to leverage the best talent to stand out from the crowd. Link in bio.
3 Things you need to know Lending edition:
Real world lessons that no one talks about. 😤
✅ Your first loan is the easiest you’ll ever get — banks are actively looking to invest in new practice owners, so the window is open wider than you think. Use this leverage wisely.
✅ You only pay back what you actually use — a big approval number looks great, but your payments are based on what you draw, not what they offered.
✅ “Pre-approval” is basically the bank putting you on their radar — it’s a pass/fail process, not a guarantee, and it mostly just earns you a spot on their follow-up list.
Stop guessing. Start knowing. 🦷💼
NEW Episode 🚨
We discuss how offering staffing flexibility and contingent workforce options helps dental practices reduce burnout and improve retention. Rather than forcing doctors and office managers to feel trapped with limited choices, we explore how practices can use remote and flexible staffing models to let team members focus on tasks they enjoy, reduce administrative burden, and create a more sustainable work environment.
