Consulting profile
Founder of Dental Strategies, HealthcareStrategiesMD, Business Strategies, and Practice Transitions Institute — mentoring healthcare owners through ownership, growth, and transitions.

I am honored to be named one of Dental Lifestyles Magazine’s 2026 40 Over 40 awardees!
After more than 30 years in dentistry, I’m grateful for the opportunities to learn, grow, and support fellow dentists as they navigate the many stages of practice ownership and transition.

As a dentist and practice consultant, I see how easily business owners become the person everyone depends on for every decision. The focus of Leah Roling’s IrReplaceable—building accountable teams and growing without burnout—speaks directly to that challenge. Role clarity, ownership, and strong leadership are essential to building a business that supports both its team and its owner. These are meaningful topics for any practice owner who wants sustainable growth and more freedom.
