Working with Dr. Stern has been transformative for both my personal growth and my career as a dentist and practice owner. His insight, coaching, and ability to challenge my thinking have helped me lead with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

When I reached a crossroads in my dental profession, I was fortunate enough to have the guidance and wisdom of Alan to help me navigate this journey. He has played an instrumental and key role in my successful outcome of acquiring my own practice, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his involvement in my career!

Alan has been instrumental in helping me navigate some challenging stages of my career. As an associate without family members in the field, I often questioned whether I was making the right decisions. Alan helped me clarify what truly matters to me at this stage of my career, easing much of the anxiety that comes with starting out as a dentist. After feeling unhappy in several practices, he helped me gain perspective on my short- and long-term priorities and align them with my personal life, ultimately leading me to a practice that made me love dentistry again. Thank you, Alan!

Conversations with Alan are natural, honest, and quite spot-on, towards a goal with actionable items. It doesn’t feels transactional or like he’s doing it just for the money —he genuinely cares to outcomes and progress. He’s flexible in various ways not just scheduling, &open to different approaches, also resourceful at connecting us with the right people to get past bottlenecks.

Talking with Alan helped me slow down, breathe, and see myself clearly again. His mentorship changed how I lead, how I think, and how I show up for my team.

When I think of 2025 and how much I’ve grown professionally, I think of the impact you made. I am very thankful for your coaching
