Meet Doctors Who Took
Control of Their Future
At the end of my very first day as an associate at a corporate dental place I went out to my car in a shady part of TN and sat there in the dark for another hour and a half.
I was on the phone completing my vision call with Ideal Practices. Ideal practices has been my partner in this from day one. Financing during COVID was a pain but when banks refused to lend to me, Kyle led me through all the roadblocks and I ended up with great terms and was fully funded.
Steve Burns saved me $80k on equipment and another $80k on the contractor.
