"After retiring and moving to Minnesota from Ohio, I found myself missing the work. When I came across Clear Lakes Dental, I noticed they operated with the same patient-first approach I had followed for over a decade, it felt like a natural fit. With the support of the CLD franchise model, the transition back to owner was a small step to take, but it led to a major leap in income and allowed me to build real equity in a business again."

"You have to experience it yourself to understand how life-changing it feels. The support I received from CLD during my transition was unbelievable. It was like a wave of encouragement that completely surrounded me. I was uplifted, checked in on daily, and they always seemed to know exactly what I needed, even before I did."

"Ownership was always on my mind. I was actively looking for opportunities in Rochester [MN] when I came across Clear Lakes Dental. I couldn't explain it at first, but something just felt different about this company, it stood out! I did research and scheduled a meeting with Dr. Park, and quickly realized this was a great opportunity for me."
