About Jonathan:
Jonathan spent almost 10 years with one of the largest dental-specific lenders in the country. His focus was helping dentists evaluate their first practice purchase or through help with obtaining the right project financing for a scratch start-up. During that time he helped open over 200 new “De Novo” dental offices and performed as a project manager and financial analyst for first-time practice buyers. In total he has helped close to a thousand doctors all over the country find their first practice to purchase or start their first practice. As a result of his reputation and relationships, he was invited to speak year after year to some of the top dental schools in the country like UCLA, Loma Linda, Western University as well as the University of Pennsylvania and Temple.
It was his passion for first-time owners that led Jonathan to leave corporate banking and follow his passion to help those to seek accurate information instead of affirmation. Since 2016 he has helped close to sixty first-time owners buy or start their optimal practice. He even wrote a book titled “Don’t Sweat the Startup." As an advocate, Jonathan can show doctors the path toward practice ownership while minimizing their risk and taking away the fear of the unknown. With the help of his relationships in the industry, he can show doctors how to grow their practice and build their brand while maximizing their return on investment.
Key Takeaways:
- Delegating and putting people in the right positions is crucial for practice growth.
- Allow team members to make mistakes and learn from them.
- Stay focused on the main goals and avoid getting distracted by other ventures.
- Invest in oneself through continuing education and technology to improve the practice's value.
