CHICAGO, October 30, 2019 – Great Lakes Dental Partners (GLDP), is pleased to announce the addition of Winnetka Dental Arts to its network of affiliated practices. GLDP, a portfolio company of Shore Capital Partners, provides practice management services to its partner locations, enabling dentists and dental specialists to focus on delivering high quality care and to collaborate with other clinicians across the network to best serve patients.
The newly formed partnership with Winnetka Dental Arts (www.winnetkadentalarts.com), located at 570 Lincoln Avenue in the Winnetka Galleria Building, brings Great Lakes Dental Partners’s clinic count to 24, all accessible within 15 miles of anywhere in the Chicago area. The organization’s recent expansion is attributable to its comprehensive practice support systems, patient-centric approach, and flexible partnership opportunities.
“We chose to partner with Great Lakes Dental Partners because they share our commitment to clinical excellence. We considered many options and decided to affiliate with GLDP due to their best-in-class clinical leadership, continuing education program, and focus on patient care and education,” said Dr. George Warga, Winnetka Dental Arts’ founding dentist. Dr. Warga has served as Lead Faculty at the renowned L.D. Pankey Institute for post-graduate advanced dental education and was named a Top 40 Dentist by Chicago Magazine.
“We’re proud to welcome Winnetka Dental Arts, and Dr. Warga brings world-class dental expertise to the GLDP network,” said Jeff McCall, CEO of Great Lakes Dental Partners. “We look forward to building on our growth together as we identify additional affiliation opportunities throughout Chicago and beyond.”
