MEET OUR TEAM

Dr. Sapna Amin DDS

Transition Consultant

I am Dr. Sapna Amin, based in the Dallas suburbs. After graduating from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2008, I worked in a private practice as an associate. I bought a solo practice in 2012 and merged practices with a DSO in 2021. At DBA, I’m dedicated to helping other buyers in acquiring their dream practice like I did! I also serve as a co-leader for the DFW Mommy Dentist in Business regional group. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling with my husband and daughter, cheering on the OU Sooner football team and prioritizing fitness and wellness.

Dr. Christy Pryor DMD

Transition Consultant

Hi, I’m Christy! I live in a small rural town in southeast Missouri with my husband and son on the beautiful Current River. After earning my biology degree from Baylor University and graduating from the UNLV School of Dental Medicine in 2012, I became a practice owner, purchasing my first dental practice in 2014 and a second in 2016. Having successfully owned, operated, and eventually sold one of my practices, I understand firsthand the opportunities and challenges that come with practice ownership. I have a passion for learning and helping others, and I enjoy guiding dentists through the ownership journey with confidence. When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing cards (especially UNO) with my son, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals, cooking from scratch, or working on one of my many craft projects.

Pamela Csaszar

Director of Lending & Strategic Partnerships

Hi there! I have been involved in the Dental Industry since early 2012 and worked in Healthcare Lending for 13 years. While working on the financial side I was able to learn multiple facets of the industry helping in business development, client management, and product consulting. Since joining DBA I’ve had the honor of helping dentists from start to finish as both a Transition & Closing Consultant. Now as the Director of Lending & Strategic Partnerships I focus most of my client work on lending while creating & maintaining outside relationships to ensure our clients have the best folks in their corner guiding them to ownership. I have a true passion for helping others and pride myself on doing so in a way that I would appreciate as a client. I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio and outside of work you can likely find me on the sidelines of the field, court, mat or studio supporting one of my 3 kids in all the extracurricular activities. When I do get a moment to myself I enjoy staying active, DIY, reading and spending time with family & friends.

Craig Hanks

Director of Business Development

I’m Craig, and I’m very likely the first person at DBA that you’ll talk to. As a content marketer and creator, I’ve built several brands of my own in the last 15 years, and I’ve helped many companies build theirs as well. My job is to make your next step the right one as you work toward ownership. I’m happy to bring my skills to Dental Buyer Advocates and help spread the word far and wide about what effective buyer’s coaching looks like — and why dentists need it.

Tara Clarridge

Senior Analyst

My name is Tara, and I am the former business manager of an oral surgery practice that had multiple locations. I have over twenty years experience with everything from payroll to credentialing and am eager to answer any questions you may have. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. We are avid football and lacrosse fans. Most weekends you will find us on the sidelines or enjoying time outdoors.

Tyler Ishmon

Analyst

Hi, I’m Tyler! With nearly a decade of experience in the dental field as a dental assistant and over ten years in tax preparation, I bring a unique blend of clinical understanding and financial expertise to the team. I take pride in guiding doctors through one of the most significant milestones of their careers—purchasing a practice—by ensuring the process is strategic, smooth, and aligned with their long-term vision. My background gives me a deep appreciation for the dedication and care it takes to build and sustain a successful dental practice.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two children and traveling the world, always seeking new experiences and inspiration along the way.

John Kinnear

Director of Operations

I’m John Kinnear, Director of Operations at Dental Buyer Advocates. I oversee our process from start to finish, making sure our clients get clear guidance and a smooth experience as they move through the practice buying process. Before coming to DBA, I spent over two decades leading teams across marketing, product, and operations. Now I apply that experience to the practice buying process, strengthening how we deliver for clients and supporting our team so they can guide you from evaluation to ownership with clarity and confidence. I live in Utah with my partner and our four kids. Outside of work, I’m usually spending time with them, working on whatever project has my attention that week, or up in the mountains hiking, skiing, or falling.
