Dr. Gregg May
Learn More About Dr. May
Having grown up around a dental practice then after completing his education at the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, Dr. May started practicing dentistry in the New Orleans area. With over 4100 hours of continuing education and 8 years of coaching experience for many offices under his belt, he is more than qualified to help clients overcome whatever hurdles they’re facing and reach their true potential. Dr. May’s reason for getting into dentistry is simple: your smile is the first thing people notice about you, and he takes joy in helping that impression to be a great one. As he’s continued to launch successful practices that are able to bounce back from hurricanes, fires, and other challenges, Dr. May has come to realize the importance of dedication, resourcefulness, and entrepreneurship in running a successful practice. The most specialized dentist in the world won’t be able to reach their true potential if their expertise doesn’t extend beyond their chairside performance. He is very passionate about teaching Case Presentation and Communication skills to dentists. A serial entrepreneur, Dr. May has created six startups in his career, and all of his practices have done over $1 million in their first year. He has helped hundreds of dentist’s to learn and understand the power of behavioral sciences by speaking and coaching. He’s the proud father of two sons, and spends much of his time outside of work with them. He is an active triathlete and loves to travel and learn new things.

Our Partners
Katrina has been working with our office for the past two years. Since that time our hygiene department has vastly improved in many areas. Our hygiene production and utilization has increased dramatically and the amount of treatment we diagnose from hygiene has also increased significantly. This is due to the confidence and knowledge she has empowered them with. Katrina has a way of motivating the team and making them feel valued and encourages them to take ownership in the work they do. She focuses on exceptional patient care and motivates our hygiene department to hold themselves to high standards. She is not only very knowledgeable, but also very personal and a wonderful communicator. You can tell she believes in everything she teaches and truly loves what she does, and that attitude and energy has been contagious to me and my team. She has proven that investing in your hygiene department sets a foundation for a successful practice as a whole.”
