    I am passionate about dentistry for children and helping them reap the benefits of healthy teeth and a great-looking smile for life! If there’s one thing I hope to accomplish in my career, it’s helping all of my young patients learn to love visiting the dentist. There’s absolutely no reason a dental appointment should be intimidating. When children realize that seeing the dentist can be relaxing and enjoyable, they pay closer attention to their teeth and gums between visits. It’s my job to help children learn and understand the real benefits of excellent oral health.
    When I’m not in the office, I enjoy staying active with my wife and son. We appreciate living so close to St. Louis and exploring all the city has to offer. We are avid Cardinals fans and cheer on the team at every possible chance! The top of my list of favorite things includes: everything having to do with Marvel Universe, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and seeing my patients and their families around town.

    Marissa Nicholson has been in dentistry for over 25 years. Utilizing her clinical knowledge and leadership skills, she earned a position as a regional trainer and eventually a regional manager for a large DSO.
    This naturally led her to being a dental consultant for general and specialty practices all over the country. In her career Marissa has identified many “embezzlement specialists.” This has led her to create a training series for owners to help safeguard what they have worked so hard to build and create clarity around the blindspot that is the admin department.
    She has worked with many dentists, specialists, and teams both corporate and private over the years. Having done so, Marissa found that her clients truly needed help systemizing their practices; which led to the creation of The Dental Practice Management Agency. She feels truly blessed to find her passion for managing, and mentoring in a field that she loves.

He later capitalized on the opportunity to utilize all three when he purchased his first practice in the south suburbs of Chicago in 2008, where (despite a historically difficult period in the country’s economy) he led the practice on an exponential growth path from three employees operating in 650 square feet of space into a 25+ network of multi-specialty dental group practices with almost 100 dentists and dental specialists. In 2019, Dr. Ro founded the dental consulting firm DSO Strategy, LLC, which was created to help entrepreneurial dentists strategize a growth plan for their dental group practices that would transform each not only into a thriving DSO, but also an investable platform for institutional capital. He also served as a key advisor to multiple private-equity funds as well as banks.

Walmart Health is a set of revolutionary multi-modality healthcare centers that include primary medicine and dentistry. Dr. Ro’s strategy and multiunit healthcare services experience have been paramount to Walmart in helping align and re-align the strategy and expansion of Walmart Health, now in 4 states.
