Why Dr. Alyo Chose Clear Lakes Dental
Who’s Dr. Alyo?
After owning a clinic with a partner, Dr. Alyo felt burned out and gave up on the idea of ownership. He expected to finish his career as an associate—until he met Dr. Park. Through CLD, he realized he didn’t have to give up his dream. With CLD’s support, he leads his team his way, keeps his earnings, and sets his schedule, while the business side is handled by experts. Today, Dr. Alyo enjoys the freedom of ownership without the stress, and the career he once thought was out of reach is now his reality.
Quote From Dr. Alyo:
“Ownership was always on my mind. I was actively looking for opportunities in Rochester when I came across Clear Lakes Dental on Indeed. I couldn’t explain it at first, but something about this company just felt different, it stood out. I did some research, scheduled a meeting with Dr. Park, and quickly realized this was a great opportunity for me.”
Dr. Alyo (CLD Owner Since 2025)

Common CLD FAQ’s:
What if the city I wanted to open my clinic in is currently owned?
If the city you’re interested in already has a Clear Lakes Dental location, that doesn’t always mean it’s completely off the table. In some cases, the size of the city and surrounding communities can support more than one clinic.
The best way to fully understand your options is to reach out to us directly. We’ll answer your questions, learn more about your goals, and explore whether an additional clinic in that city—or in a nearby market—would make sense.
How do I start?
Getting started is simple. The first step is to reach out and schedule a conversation with our team. We’ll talk through your goals, answer your questions, and walk you through the Clear Lakes Dental franchise model so you can see if we’re a good fit for each other.

What’s the Investment like?
Owning a Clear Lakes Dental clinic is a significant but rewarding investment. The total costs include your franchise fee, build-out expenses, equipment, technology, staffing, and working capital.
