He is good at what he does and he has a pretty good personality- which is the opposite of most dentists. He won Dentist of the Year in the "Best of" in the Gazette Telegraph a few years running
He also got incredibly lucky - when he was first starting as an Associate he worked for a women who owned his building and the practice - she owned medical practices all over, even though she wasn't a doc.
She also happened to be a Scientologist who was actively trying to reach Tom Cruise status.
She came to my bother one day and asked him to buy it from her because she needed cash so she could learn to time travel or whatever. At the time the practice was only 4 chairs and two technicians so he built if from that.
The building used to have 8 medical offices. He merged three of the offices (two on the first floor two on the second) with his to make his practice and put the OR and extra chairs on the second floor.
