Dr. Francis Oh grew from 2 to 17 locations—but burnout and chaos followed. With DEO, he built a real leadership team, shifted from “Chief Everything Officer” to CEO, and gained the clarity to scale smarter. Now a DEO coach himself, he says: “I guarantee that yes, you can get there on your own—but with DEO, you’ll get there faster, with more laughter and less worry.”

Dr. Vajahat Khan was managing 3 practices alone—no systems, no structure, no time for family. With DEO, he scaled to 12 practices, grew revenue from $3M to $12M, exited the chair, and launched two new businesses. His words? “I learned how to be a good clinician in dental school. But through DEO, I learned how to be a good person and a true leader.”

DEO has been more than a program—it's been a mentor, a playbook, and a community.”

Now we know exactly what to fix—and how to push through.”
