Dr. Christopher Lugo owns Puget Sound Pediatric Dentistry in Snohomish County, WA. His five locations employ seven pediatric dentists, an orthodontist, an oral surgeon, and 58 staff members. He has been in private practice for 23 years and recently started a shared service organization, Dynamic Dental Management, which he still runs. He has developed a culture of “progressive sustainability” that focuses on the practicing pediatric dentists’ emotional and physical health while concurrently driving profitability.

In 2021, Dr. Lugo moved to Houston to be closer to family, high humidity, and delicious BBQ. He joined the faculty of UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry a year later in 2022, and is looking to expand his practice footprint to Texas. Currently, he teaches a “Business of Dentistry” course to our UT Health pediatric dentistry residents.

He enjoys talking about practice management, being married to an aspiring pastry chef, and his three children who are almost taller than him.
