Dr. Steve Van De Graaff is a coach at The Lifestyle Practice and co-host of The Lifestyle Practice Podcast, where he helps dentists build practices that fit around their lives instead of the other way around. He trained at Creighton and did something most dental students are told not to do: he searched for, negotiated, and bought a practice during the second half of his fourth year, closing on a four-to-five-chair PPO office in North Augusta, South Carolina, in 2016. He paid off his student loans in year one, moved the practice off insurance within a couple of years, and owned it for eight before selling and moving home to be near family. Brian was his advisor on that purchase, before Dental Buyer Advocates existed. Reach Steve at https://thelifestylepractice.com/ or by emailing steve@thelifestylepractice.com

Brian Hanks, MBA, CFP® has helped more than 1,500 dentists buy dental practices and is the author of How to Buy a Dental Practice, now in its fifth edition.
