Starting A Dental Practice

Starting A Dental Practice?

Next Level Consultants Can Help.

We’ve been helping dentists JUST LIKE YOU build dental startups for over 15 years now. It all started when Michael Dinsio, owner and founder of Next Level Consultants, started his career in the dental industry as a lender/banker. Michael was privileged enough to have help hundreds of dentists through the process of starting a dental practice. Today, his passion lies in working one-on-one directly with dentists as their personal dental startup consultant,  walking doctors through the process of starting a dental practice of their own.

We love talking to doctors excited and passionate about their vision for dentistry they want to do it and the commitment they have for a thier community. We enjoy helping doctors achieve that lifelong goal and dream of starting a dental practice. As dental startup consultants, we ensure you’re set up for success when the doors open on opening day! 

To get started, we sit down with you, listen to your plans and ideas, work with you one-on-one, and customize a strategy for success using our tried-and-true dental startup blueprint.

Alina Katanov

We have so many positive things to say about Next Level Consultants. They helped guide us every step of the way from finding the best location of our clinic, to planning and construction, and eventually opening and getting us up and running. Both Mike and Paula are amazing..! Paula is a wealth of knowledge, always on top of things and really invested in the clinic's success. Also grateful to Stefani from the credentialing team because she made the process seamless and easy. They are there to trouble shoot and answer any questions that might arise. We highly recommend working with them!!

Michael Wang

When I decided to pursue a dental startup, I signed up with Next Level Consultants because they were independently recommended to me by several individuals. What made Mike stand out to me as a consultant was his affable nature and great business acumen. Not only is he well-connected, but he's highly knowledgeable about the dental field, a testament to his years of experience helping dentists on the banking side of the industry. In the later phases of my project, I've had the pleasure of working with Paula, who is equally encouraging in her coaching and goes above and beyond to support her clients. Paula draws from her years of clinical and practice ownership experiences and excels at helping new practice owners bridge the gap between the clinical and the operational sides of running a practice. Stafani works closely with clients to get them up to speed on the best practices for front office systems, and is an expert at navigating through the complicated terrain of dental billing. With Next Level's well-rounded approach to consulting, you'll receive sound guidance from all aspects of practice ownership, whether it be starting, acquiring, or running a dental practice. I certainly feel more prepared to take on the challenges of practice ownership as a result. Thank you to everyone at Next Level Consultants for helping me reach my goals!
