The best dental practice advice comes with no hidden agenda.

My career has taken me through every major phase of dental practice—as an associate, buyer, owner, and seller. I tripled my income as an associate, acquired and substantially grew two dental practices, and completed a successful sale. Today, I use that firsthand experience to help dentists make better career, acquisition, and ownership decisions—without commissions or a sales agenda.

WHY GIRGIS

I built financial autonomy by consistently hitting singles and doubles.

I built financial autonomy by consistently hitting singles and doubles.

I began my dental career with nearly $300,000 in student debt. As an associate, I learned how compensation, scheduling, patient flow, mentorship, and clinical efficiency shape both income and long-term opportunity. By choosing carefully and executing well, I tripled my associate income before becoming an owner.

I later acquired two dental practices. I grew the first practice’s revenue by approximately 80% within 12 months and later sold it. I grew the second practice’s revenue by approximately 110% in its first year.

I achieved that growth while maintaining a 21-hour clinical workweek and providing bread-and-butter general dentistry. I keep my overhead below 50%. The model was not built around All-on-X or full mouth rehabs. The results came from buying carefully, controlling overhead, improving systems, strengthening scheduling and patient communication, increasing productivity, and consistently executing the fundamentals.

Along the way, I paid off my student loans and primary mortgage and built a multi-million-dollar net worth—creating meaningful financial autonomy and reducing my dependence on chairside income.

I now bring that firsthand experience to dentists facing consequential decisions about their careers, acquisitions, and practices.

My goal is to help dentists move beyond the daily grind and create the time and freedom to focus on what matters most.
