Dr. Christian Stanfield is a dentist, entrepreneur, and the founder of Elevate Dental Consulting where he helps dentists turn their practices into high-profit, low-stress businesses that actually support their lives.

After graduating in 2020, Dr. Stanfield went all in, buying and merging three practices (soon to be 4) into one thriving location: Glendale Gentle Dentistry.
