# About > > URL: https://mb2dental.com/about/ > Last modified: 2025-08-18T07:43:15+00:00 # About MB2 Dental Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, MB2 Dental was founded in 2007 with a vision to help dental practice owners tap into the best parts of private practice and corporate dental groups. But, we’re not your typical dental service organization (DSO). As the first and fastest-growing dental partnership organization (DPO), we’ve redefined how dentists can thrive by empowering their autonomy through a true partnership rooted in shared success. ### Pioneering the Dental Partnership Organization Model Since our inception, MB2 Dental has partnered with hundreds of general dentists and specialists across the nation, fostering a collaborative community built on mutual respect and shared resources. We understand the challenges of running a modern dental practice, from the complexities of **dental practice office management** to navigating the evolving healthcare landscape. Our commitment is to provide the support and infrastructure that allows our partners to focus on patient care and achieve their personal and professional goals. Learn more about our [unique partnership model](/how-mb2-dental-bridges-the-gap-between-dsos-and-private-practices/). We are always seeking passionate and dedicated doctors to join our movement and become part of a forward-thinking **dental partnership**. If you’re looking for a way to enhance your practice while retaining control, we invite you to [explore partnership opportunities with MB2 Dental](/contact/). ### Meet Our Founder “Building a practice on your own is no easy task. I know because, before I founded MB2 Dental, I was in your shoes. I rejected the idea that our only options were to keep practicing alone or sell out to a faceless corporation. So I partnered with others in our profession to build a better way to practice dentistry. At MB2 Dental, we help you combine the benefits of partnering with a larger organization, like shared services and access to capital, with the independence and autonomy you love about owning your own practice.” *– Dr. V, Founder and CEO* ### **Accelerating Practices Across the Country** ### Dentists and specialists across the country have chosen to partner with our DPO. Will you be next? ## Dr. Joshua Ignatowicz ### General Dentist, Nevada "For me, MB2 is the perfect combo- it has the infrastructure I needed but allows me the autonomy I have become accustomed to as a practice owner. I always thought my only choices were to handle everything myself, or “sell-out”. With MB2, I now rest easy, knowing that when bumps come along, I have a huge, highly qualified team to support me. And I didn’t have to change my practice culture or quality of care my team created, because that’s the very thing MB2 sees value in & works to support." ## Dr. Wilkie Paes ### General Dentist, New York "I recently partnered up with MB2 and I have to say I am blown away by how well run of the organization is. It’s hard to find a company where everyone is not just great at what they do but also extremely nice! Super excited to continue on with them and looking forward to the future." ## Dr. Lisa Grant ### Orthdontist, Illinois "Since partnering with MB2, we have enjoyed all the perks of being a part of this group. Our integration was seamless and our team always receives the support needed from the Director of Operations. I would definitely recommend joining MB2 to all doctors who are ready to be a part of something bigger than themselves. I think the future is a partnership, and MB2 has a proven successful track record!" ## Dr. Zachary Dixon ### General Dentist, Arkansas "I partnered with MB2 in 2019 and I am so glad that I made this decision. It was promised that my practices could still run the way that I want them to operate...and that has stayed true for the partnership and will continue to. Since partnering, I have added 3 practices to my organization and MB2 has been there for support and recruitment of staff the entire time. They have this process very streamlined and therefore it was so easy to open these additional practices. The buying power of this group is top-notch and everyone is always working to help our group succeed to the next level! I would make this decision again everyday of the week! Thank you MB2 for a great partnership!" ## Dr. Adam Weaver ### Periodontist, Colorado "I was a 100% owner of my office for 20 years. I partnered with MB2 3 years ago. Since partnering with MB2, I have realized multiple goals that seemed impossible before. 1) I own 2 offices. 2) My personal income has increased. 3) I have been able to hire multiple associates with little pain. 4) I have a plan for retirement on my terms. Why every dentist doesn't realize the need for a partner, I have no idea!" ## Dr. Pauline Demetrakopulos ### General Dentist, California "There's no better organization to affiliate with than mb2. It's a true partnership where doctor owners are respected and allowed to run our practices as we always have, plus we get the added benefits of a partner in mb2 who handles all the aspects of running a business that most dentists do not Ike to do! Practicing dentistry is so much more enjoyable and rewarding now." ## Dr. Jacob Greaves ### General Dentist, New Mexico "I’ve been with MB2 for 5 years, and it’s been fantastic. The culture is amazing. I started as an associate doctor, and I am now an owner in an MB2 affiliated office. It’s been a great 5 years so far, and looking forward to many more." ## Dr. Kelly Toombs ### Orthodontist, Kansas "I cannot say enough good things about MB2. I partnered with them over a year ago. One of the main reasons that I chose them was that they promised me that they would not change how we run our practice. This has been so true. Day to day, nothing has changed. From a more global perspective, however, we now have so many resources and such great buying power. Partnering with MB2 has been the best decision of my career. They have delivered everything they promised and more. Thank you, MB2!" ## Dr. Noah Shafer ### General Dentist, Tennessee "I have been a dentist/owner with MB2 in Tennessee for over 10 years. I could not be happier with our partnership. They stand by you through the good times and bad. Joining with them has been a real blessing to me both professionally and personally." ## Dr. Brad Chvatal ### Orthodontist, Oregon "After looking at several other DSOs, I decided to partner with MB2. The process has been easy, transparent, and as described. The support through the transition and now after has been great! I still run my office as I always have, and MB2 offers and provides support where it is asked for and is helpful (payroll, pricing with vendors, marketing, CE, etc.) The other doctors are great, too, sharing ideas and providing support. It’s been a great decision so far. If you are considering partnering with a DSO-MB2 should be in that discussion." ## Dr. Dara Abusada ### General Dentist, Texas "MB2 is different in the sense that the dentist is allowed to choose what they want to do, what supplies they want to use, what treatment plans [they] want to provide for their patients and what quality care is best for them. Not having to take into consideration other office needs by third parties or anything like that. It's strictly what the dentist feels is best for their patients and I think that's really important." ## Dr. Ryan Shepherd ### General Dentist, New Mexico "In July of 2018, I finally joined MB2 Dental. What a difference it has made in my daily life! The pressures no longer rest solely on me, and the partnership has completely re-energized me. I find I have gas in the tank again, so to speak, to propel me to the next level in my career. My ambitions are back up where they were 10 years ago. Within less than a year of partnering with MB2, I have already acquired my second practice location. And the best part? As I continue to grow and develop my personal brand of dentistry, I’m not alone." ## Dr. Jeffrey Scruggs ### General Dentist, Louisiana "As an MB2 partner, I have a weight off my shoulders, off my chest. Physically, I feel lighter. That started when I had my last patient as a solo practitioner. I literally felt a weight lifted. I actually ran further than I’ve run in 6 months and I’m no longer depressed. I’m psychologically uplifted. Everything’s been going unbelievable beautifully, these guys really know what they are doing." ## Dr. Paul Maupin ### General Dentist, Texas "I partnered with MB2 about 4 years ago and would do it again in a heartbeat. Their partnership model is unique in so many ways, but the most important is that they respect the doctor/patient relationship. Rather than bring in their own system to every office, MB2 partners with successful offices that are already doing well and then supports them in those same efforts. They also allow for investment opportunities that are typically reserved for those in private equity. In short, they treat their partners as equals and allow us to share in their success." ## Dr. Lisa Fox ### Pediatric Dentist, Colorado "I am a pediatric dentist in partnership with MB2 Dental and it's like having a FAIRY GODMOTHER! If you are successful dentists looking for a true partnership in a culture of success, you are looking for MB2!" ## MB2 Gives Back The MB2 Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization established with a mission to provide financial assistance to our employees experiencing financial stress from unforeseen life-altering events.
