After 26 years of practicing dentistry, today, September 26th, 2019, will be my final day at the chair.
I take with me a lifetime of memories that the profession has given me, both professionally and personally. I have met incredible people during my journey. I have developed lifelong friendships. I could not have done it without the support of my patients, but especially my dedicated, wonderful staff.
I purchased my practice in 1993, on the Westside of Cleveland, from my childhood dentist, Dr. Marko Kuhar (a fellow Croatian). My classmate from CWRU Dental school, Dr. Tom Thomas, joined me in 1994, and together we moved to Strongsville to start Five Points Dentistry in October, 2000. The memories that we’ve created over the past 25+ years could fill a book. Partnerships rarely last that long, however, not only did we endure, we thrived. Many people are blessed with supportive and loving families, but few are given a business partnership that lasts the test of time. Having someone around me day in and day out that I trusted, believed in, and always pushed me to excel in our dental practice, has been a Godsend.
As of October, I will dedicate my time to several arenas: my dental coaching clients (Pavicic Dental Coaching), the financial advising world, teaching, writing books, and finally, what I hope will be the biggest and most impactful undertaking of my life – the beginning of THE COMPLETE U. My friend, Dr. Ed Bice, and I hope to combine our 50 years of knowledge and deliver it to the masses so that we might help people with their health, their wealth, their business, and their life (much more to follow on this in upcoming months).
In the meantime, maybe I will better my golf game and travel the world.
Here’s to the future!
The Gratitude List is a simple, yet profound book that guides you to creating a list of people who have meant the most to your life and then using the list to remember and thank them regularly.
It is also a tribute to all the people who I am grateful for in my life. I hope the stories make you laugh, cry and think.
My hope is that this book brings back memories of all the people that have made you who you are today and helps you make your very own GratitudeList.
All proceeds will go to my brother’s charity “The Boris Pavicic Leukemia Foundation.”
