Eric shares how his background in medical and dental entrepreneurship led him into the highly specialized world of dental office lease consulting, and why so many dentists unknowingly sign agreements that can put their practice, profitability, and future transition at risk. From missed renewal deadlines and month-to-month leases to assignment clauses, personal guarantees, tenant improvement allowances, and landlord leverage during practice sales, Eric breaks down the most common lease mistakes dentists make and how proactive planning can protect long-term value. He also explains why doctors should review their leases years before renewal or transition, especially if they plan to expand, renovate, sell, or protect their estate.
