I was the owner and sole practitioner of a successful Children’s Dental practice for 20 years. The changing business climate and my desire for more personal freedom started me thinking of options for my future. Did I want to bring on an associate, sell my practice outright and retire, or sell to a corporation and continue to work?

I did my due diligence looking at all options. Selling to a corporation was not on the top of the list until I met the group at Lone Peak. They were different. They combined the best of both worlds. The support of a corporate accounting, human resource and marketing team along with the personal touch of working with a stellar group of human beings who cared about my business and continued to treat it as such even after the purchase.

I became an owner/doctor, a part of the Lone Peak Team. There was no cold corporate push. I made my own decisions backed up by best practices provided by the experts at Lone Peak. I couldn’t have been happier. Led by CEO, Ray Caruso, the Lone Peak Group is unique in that it provides the benefits of the warmth of a small business environment backed by the skill set only a big business network can provide. I highly recommend Lone Peak as a career path to new doctors coming out of dental school and as an option to established doctors such as myself who are looking for a change in strategy for their business. Lone Peak is simply the best!

I had the experience of practicing in almost every setting available to a dentist. I was an associate, a partner, a solo practitioner. I had started and sold practices.

I took the opportunity to join Lone Peak and become an owner/doctor in 2012. I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to practice dentistry without worrying about payroll taxes and making sure W2’s went out on time and all the other stuff I didn’t enjoy spending time on. I loved having someone to consult about HR issues and even legal advice.

Lone Peak has evolved over the years into a great company with which to partner. I get to work with some wonderfully intelligent people who support me and my practices. I get great pricing on supplies. While there is no “perfect” way to practice dentistry, working with Lone Peak has been the best experience I’ve had. I look forward to many years with the company as they help me achieve my goals.

I had the pleasure of forming a partnership with Lone Peak in 2021 as an owner/doctor. I opened my Pediatric Dental office in 2005 and by 2011 the practice had grown to three locations. I enjoyed growing the offices and learning the business aspect along the way. But most of all I was delighted by the opportunities the offices provided to its surrounding communities, offering dental care to our patients of majority underserved communities and employment opportunities. As the practices continued to grow, I felt my patients and my employees deserve a much better business mind than myself to ensure the practices continue to grow in a positive and upward direction. I came in contact with Lone Peak and met the CEO Ray Caruso. Upon meeting Ray on a few occasions, it was obvious to us that our philosophies concerning patient care and operating a dental practice were very much compatible. The support that our practices receive from Lone Peak from administrative and clinical aspects is pivotal to our growth and development. With this partnership, we both learn from each other, which solidifies our bottom lines.
