Are You Ready to Explore Dental Ownership?
Why Dr. Ang Chose Clear Lakes Dental
Whos Dr. Ang?
After graduating dental school, Dr. Ang joined CLD as an associate with no plans of ownership. But a few conversations with Dr. Park changed his perspective—he realized owning a clinic with CLD could be simple and exciting. Just 8 months after graduation, Dr. Ang opened his first CLD clinic, where he collected all revenue, chose the procedures he wanted to focus on, and led his own team. By 2025, his partnership with CLD worked so well that he opened a second location.
Quote From Dr. Ang:
“When I joined Clear Lakes Dental right out of school, ownership wasn’t even on my radar. I started as an associate, just focused on learning and growing. Then Dr. Park asked if I’d ever considered owning a practice. After we talked through the logistics, options, and transition process, I realized it was possible! I became an owner just 8 months after graduating. Since then, I’ve bought my second CLD clinic. I now own two locations.”
Dr. Matthew Ang (CLD Owner Since 2023)
