Naren Arulrajah is a self-made entrepreneur. His vision for Growing Dentist podcast series does not stop with professional growth. Naren is equally invested in personal success for dentists who often forget or ignore their personal lives for professional success.
 
Service and excellence are the cornerstones of Naren’s entrepreneurial journey. But he also believes, success is best enjoyed only when you know what failure looks like. He fully believes that success does not happen in isolation. Its effects are far reaching and far more wholesome when it impacts the lives of not only an individual, but also his relationships.
 
His passion stems from his unique ability as a visionary. Naren’s association with leading dentists spans more than a decade and during this time he has had the unique opportunity to work closely and understand the specific challenges that dentists face in their work and in their lives. This is what drove him to envision and create GrowingDentist.com.
 
Naren’s vision for Growing Dentist is simple – help dentists create a Bigger Future. A Bigger Future for their clients, themselves, their families, their teams and of course the community at large.

We caught up with Dr. Ian Hoffman after he assisted Justin in establishing his non-profit dental practice, New Horizon Dental Center in Tempe, AZ.

Dr. Hoffman is a man on a mission.  After overcoming a serious health challenge as a kid, he is passionate about improving access to health, wellness, and medical care for low-income and underserved populations around the country by helping doctors through the process of starting a charity and qualifying for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).
 
Do you want to make the world a better place and get your student loans ERASED?
 
Dr. Ian Hoffman’s program, FedLoan Forgiveness for Doctors may be able to help!
 
After overcoming a serious health challenge as a kid, Ian is passionate about improving access to health, wellness, and medical services for low-income and under-served populations around the country.
 
Starting a charity is the secret sauce that allows dentists in private practice to qualify for a government program called Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) which will erase your student debt, tax-free, 15 years faster than the income driven repayment plans.
 
In under a year he’s helped doctors qualify for over $13 million in savings on their student loans!
 
Ian and his wife Dr. Lindsay Hoffman are co-founders of Chiropractic Health & Happiness, a concierge style office by the beach in San Diego that provides pediatric, prenatal, and proactive chiropractic care, as well as Cure Not Profit, a 501(C)(3) wellness charity that serves to spread the miracle of chiropractic care to under-served populations in their community.
 
“One of my favorite things is knowing that with less stress and anxiety about student debt, doctors are better able to focus on what matters most: their family, their patients, and their quality of life!”

In 1981, Owens-Illinois, the 6th largest glass plant in the world, closed its doors. What followed was a domino effect of failed businesses, staggering unemployment and a devastatingly bleak economy. That was the year after Dr. Steven Rasner opened his practice in the same town. Regrettably, since that time, Bridgeton, NJ has remained nationally ranked for its unemployment, poverty level and lack of growth.

During this same period, Dr. Rasner has nurtured a private, fee-for-service practice that commands fees in the top percentile in the nation. It grosses over 4.1 million per year on a four-day workweek with a “two day per week” associate and a “substantial bottom line.” His team of 16 has been with the practice an average of 16 years. Dr. Rasner takes an active roll in his community and received a Congressional Recognition Award in 2000 for his civic contributions.

Dr. Rasner has published multiple books, including: The Protocol Book; The Art of Getting Paid; and The Bullet Proof Guide to the Extraordinary Practice.

Check out his website at www.realizingthedream.com

Cheers!
