Mission & History
A practice purchase is a big deal - it's the culmination of years spent preparing for this this exact moment in academia and associateship. A monumental step towards practicing dentistry the way you know is best and assuming real ownership of your career.
It's also a uniquely significant financial move - it's likely one of the largest purchases you'll make in your life and unlike a house or a car, this purchase is the engine of your professional career, a major part of your retirement plan, and the vehicle for your legacy.
While you might only purchase a practice once or twice in your life, we work on acquisitions and real estate purchases every day and have the track record to prove it.
In our opinion, it's worth hiring expert guidance to make sure your transition is successful and free from unnecessary stress, risk, and friction.
Our goal is simple - ensure your success in the ownership journey by providing you with guidance and structure when you need it most.
Practice ownership is good for doctors, good for patients, and good for communities - we want to help create more owners.

Founder and Principal Consultant
About The Founder
Joseph was a founding employee at Provide (acquired by Fifth Third Bank in 2021) and built out a significant portion of the bank's practice lending processes from scratch as they scaled their operation from concept up to 250 employees, thousands of practice transitions funded, and $4.5 billion in practice and healthcare real estate loans closed with a 99.8% success rate.
He brings together hands on acquisition knowledge with innovative systems level thinking to blend small business ownership expertise with silicon valley technological leverage. He is a repeat founder and business owner himself and understands from first hand experience what it's like to make the jump into entrepreneurship!
Joseph lives in Mill Valley, California with his wife and children and can be found wing foiling, skiing, paragliding, or diving when not helping doctors with their path into independence.

Why Become an Owner?
Increase Your Income
The average practice owner makes roughly $50k-150k MORE per year than the average associate depending on specialty. Invested and compounded over a 30 year career (based on historical market performance), that could be millions of extra dollars for your household. You deserve this.
Design Your Culture
From your hiring decisions and values to your office design and clinical approach, you get to decide exactly how your practice looks and feels - to patients and colleagues both.
Control Your Time
Complete operational control of your practice means you will be the one deciding how and when to work - take advantage of the efficiency and agility of independence.
