Create a Fulfilling Career as a Pediatric Dentist, with Dr. Craig Hollander
Tue Feb 03 2026
Dr. Craig Hollander is a legendary pediatric dentist in the St. Louis area. He was kind enough to drive up and meet me for coffee to reflect on his 30+ year career as a pediatric dentist. Dr. Hollander was a very welcoming presence when I moved to Missouri. I've always been impressed by the way that he balances a busy clinic schedule, leadership, organized dentistry, study clubs and teaching residents. These in-person episodes are fun and we cover a wide variety of topics including:
- How he grew a 3 chair practice to 30+ chairs
- When and how he sold his ownership, and why he stayed as an associate
- Becoming a board examiner and why he enjoys the process
- Advise to young and ambitious pediatric dentists and residents
- How to deal with practice competition
