Case Study

Dr. Christy Gajewski
Midwest Dental – Weston South, WI

Why did you decide to enter the Practice Ownership Program?

I decided to enter ownership because I know I wanted to continue my career with this organization and within this office; it was an investment opportunity.

What was the highlight or favorite part of the process?

My favorite part of the process was getting to know and speak with Mandy Mennella, who worked with me explaining each step of the process and going through all the financials involved. I also enjoyed discussing how lawyers speak and write in an English language structure with which we are unfamiliar.

What concerns did you have and how did Smile Brands help you feel comfortable entering into the partnership?

The concerns I had were at the exit of the partnership. Working with Mandy on an exit strategy helped me understand that process. 

What are you most excited about of the future now being a partner?

Growing the practice and continuing to serve my patients.

Anything else unique to your experience you’d like to share?

The champagne and chocolate were really good! Thanks for the closing gift!
