What Our Clients Say

Lydian Dental


Josh Turnbull – Founder, CEO

“Chris Ray and Geoff Lang at Catalyst have been a tremendously valuable partner for us. We have taken a much more retail-oriented mindset than most dental groups in the way we approach real estate and Catalyst has helped us effectively navigate this landscape, develop a strategy and lock down very high-profile sites. They have a depth of knowledge, extensive industry contacts, and are great negotiators. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. “
