Our Team

 
 

Dr. Tanmeet Singh

Dr. Singh has experience in owning and operating multiple dental practices in Alberta. He is passionate about building a cohesive team that is able to work with a systematic approach. Over the years he has owned and operated various dental practices with different ownership structures. He is passionate about all aspects of dentistry, including the business side.

He firmly believes that quality care can and should be delivered in a cost-effective manner that benefits both the patient and the practice.

 
 

Dr. Scott Kollen

Dr. Kollen was born, raised and educated in Greater Vancouver. After a stint in a small-town private practice, he joined a group practice and quickly became partner during a period of rapid growth: expanding from five startups to fifteen clinics in only three years. He has since returned to Vancouver and opened his own rapidly growing office.

He has spoken about startup dental clinics at numerous conferences, discussed them as a guest on multiple Canadian and American podcasts, and has been featured in startup resources published by the Canadian Dental Association. With previous occupations in the construction field, and exposure to industrial project management from the family business, Dr. Kollen enjoys overseeing the planning and buildout phase of startups, and ensuring that all components work in sync for a beautiful, yet extremely efficient and functional facility.

 

A group of specialists will be available to answer your legal, financing, real estate, design and marketing questions throughout the seminar.
