How To Negotiate Your Dental Practice Lease Like A Pro

Aside from graduating dental school, there are very few moments in the course of your dental career that are more important than when you sign the lease for your 1st (or 3rd) dental practice location.

It’s scary. It’s exciting. And if we’re being honest, a little overwhelming.

Did you pay too much? Did you choose the right location? Did you protect yourself legally if anything goes wrong?

At the same time, purchasing a practice means you have tremendous opportunity to grow and scale your services and patient base.

Which is why I’m excited to introduce today’s guest Norman Gelfand. Norman is the founder and president of Gelfand Group and is an expert in commercial real estate with over 20+ years of experience. He’s helped hundreds of dental practice owners negotiate a lease that gives them the best chance to succeed.

In our chat today, he shares everything he knows about how to ensure you sign a lease that makes sense for you.
