Dr. Dave Janash Grew from 2 to 13 Locations & Nearly $30M with DEO
When Dr. Dave Janash joined The DEO, he had two practices in NYC, generating $7M. He knew he wanted to grow—but had no idea where to start. Strategy, systems, leadership, mission—none of it was clear.
Then came the turning point.
Through DEO’s coaching, community, and frameworks, Dave didn’t just grow his company—he grew into the role of a true CEO. Today, he leads 13 locations along the East Coast, with nearly $30M in revenue.
But for Dave, it wasn’t just about numbers. It was about:
✅ Developing a clear mission, vision, and leadership strategy
✅ Bringing his leadership team to events to create alignment
✅ Building confidence, clarity, and community in a once-lonely journey
✅ Impacting lives—from his team to his patients and family
His biggest shift? "I came in unsure of who I was as a leader—now I know exactly who I am, and who I’m not."
