Great Lakes adds to Illinois practices with Signature Dental
Katherine E. Pfaff
DSO, Great Lakes Dental Partners, has added to its facilities with Signature Dental Group. The practice joins the Great Lakes affiliated network of practices, and bolsters the company’s facilities in the Chicago area.
"Dr. Mohammed Shakeel is a well-known and highly sought-after dental implantologist. His cutting-edge techniques and years of dental experience have earned him an impeccable reputation with patients in the Chicagoland area," said Fletcher Boyle, vice president of business development at GLDP. "Partnering with an award-winning oral implant provider further validates our commitment to partner with best-in-class providers.”
Great Lakes is part of a portfolio company, Shore Capital Partners. GLDP is planning to continue building partnerships with dental offices in the Midwest, ideally practices owned by a dentist and looking to grow.
"After meeting with several DSOs, I'm confident I chose the right partner," said Dr. Mohammed Shakeel, licensed general dentist. "GLDP has the support I need to continue to grow my business and provide patients with top-notch dentistry.”
