Experienced Lender Joins Menlo Dental Transitions as Practice Advisor for the Southeast
"My mission is to help doctors maximize the value of their practice and feel confident every step of the way.' - Matt Adrian
'For the past 25 years, I've been a lender dedicated to the dental transition space,' Adrian said. 'Now I'm bringing that experience directly to sellers. My mission is to help doctors maximize the value of their practices and feel confident every step of the way.'
Adrian previously served as Regional Manager for Bank of America Practice Solutions, focusing on outside sales in the Southeast. During his 20-year tenure, he earned numerous distinctions, including four-time Salesperson of the Year, the Spirit of Excellence Award (given to the top 0.1 percent of performers nationally), and multiple years as a Top Volume Producer. Adrian also served for more than a decade on the Bank of America Leadership Council. He then continued his work in dental lending as Regional Director at Provide before joining Menlo.
'I joined Menlo because it was the only company I found that consistently reinvests in both its people and its business,' Adrian said. 'When I was told they hire the right person for the role—not the role for the person—that resonated with me. The culture, the standards, and the team here all reflect that commitment.'
In his new role, Adrian will apply his industry expertise to help doctors achieve the highest possible sale price for their practice while ensuring a smooth, professional transition for practice staff, patients, and buyers alike.
In addition to his professional accolades, Adrian is a U.S. Army veteran whose training included Sniper School, Airborne School, and Air Assault School. He was awarded the Expert Infantry Badge and deployed to Somalia during Operation Restore Hope.
'Matt has an outstanding track record in the dental industry and a deep understanding of what makes a transition successful,' said Mitch Lamb, CEO of Menlo Dental Transitions. 'We're excited to welcome him to the team and know he will be a tremendous asset to the doctors we serve.'

New Hospital Management Software PeriOptimization developed under the leadership of a VA-Affiliated Surgeon, shows major efficiency; set to Save Millions for the Veterans Administration Healthcare
MARLTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After years of development and testing, PeriOptimization, a patient and staff management software system for hospitals, is poised to modernize and streamline operations across VA Healthcare settings. Based on initial feedback and pilot tests, it demonstrates significant success for improving overall efficiency and workflow. Early estimates project cost savings exceeding $200 million over 8 years and if broadly adopted over $500 million or more. At the forefront of this innovation is Dr. Robert C. Villare, a vascular and general surgeon and New Jersey resident. Dr. Villare served at the Lebanon Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Pennsylvania for eight years and brings first-hand experience to the operational challenges healthcare workers face every day. Unlike many health IT projects developed outside the clinical setting, PeriOptimization was conceived, designed, and tested by a surgeon working directly with software engineers and clinical staff. The result is a fully integrated Surgery and Dental Management Platform tailored to enable process improvement in VA surgical and dental services. 'This project was born out of a clear need to streamline workflows and reduce inefficiencies,' said Dr. Villare. 'By listening to end users, we've created a solution that is practical and powerful. We eliminated redundancies and rework and standardized to boost operational efficiency.' What is PeriOptimization? PeriOptimization is a modern web-based software solution designed to replace outdated scheduling and operational systems in surgery and dental services. It is: Customizable and scalable to fit various facility needs. Integrated with legacy platforms such as VistA. Cost-effective and built for rapid deployment. Focused on reducing inefficiencies and improving user experience. The Need for Change The VA pioneered electronic medical records in the 1970's with the creation of VistA. Many VA hospital systems still rely on fragmented outdated platforms that increase delays, adds administrative burdens, worsens staff burnout and reduces clinical efficiency. Importantly, many of the old forms and processes yield little to no value for patient care. Before PeriOptimization: Separate systems led to communication gaps. Manual scheduling consumed excessive time. Resource management was reactive. With PeriOptimization: Schedules and resources are automated and standardized. Staff spend more time on patient care. Departments coordinate in real-time. Data supports better, more immediate decision-making. Key Features & Benefits: Customizable & Scalable – Adaptable for facilities of all sizes and specialties. Real-Time Reporting – Enables faster, data-driven decisions. Seamless Integration – Built to work with existing VA infrastructure. Improved Staff Satisfaction – Reduces task redundancy and burnout. Improved Patient Care – Enhances continuity, speed, accuracy and safety. Cost – Estimated savings of $209 million over 8 years system-wide—actual savings may exceed $500 million or more. Next Steps Following successful testing over a 3-year period, PeriOptimization is under consideration by healthcare organizations, including the VA. At this time, no official endorsements or deployment decisions have been made by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 'This isn't just a software update,' Dr. Villare added. 'It's a culture shift—one that empowers providers and staff while honoring a commitment to patient care.' For interviews or a product demo, contact joe@
