Leadership Training and Mentorship


Respected former dentist and practice owner with over 14 years of family dentistry experience in Colorado.

Hi, I'm Dr. Eric Chatterley. I practiced dentistry for 13 years, including 10 years as a private practice owner. During that time, I experienced both the rewards and real challenges that come with ownership. My team and patients truly felt like family, and the values that guided my practice—integrity, hard work, compassion, and gratitude—continue to guide everything I do today.

At CTC Pathways, we help dentists and their teams create more freedom in their lives and practices: freedom of time, money, purpose, and energy. My goal is to empower dental professionals to build practices that are not only successful, but deeply fulfilling. I believe in creating environments where patients feel genuinely cared for, team members feel valued and inspired, and dentists rediscover the joy that first drew them to the profession.

My mission is to walk alongside dentists as a trusted guide, helping them build practices that reflect their values, serve their communities, and create lasting fulfillment for everyone involved.

When I’m not coaching, I love spending time with my wife, Candice, our five children and son-in-law, and our two dogs—Copper and Chip. My faith and my family are everything to me. I enjoy being outdoors, volunteering in my community, and working with a church youth program. But above all, I find the most joy in serving others, whether it’s at home, in my community, in our church, or in the dental profession I deeply care about.


By Dr. Eric Chatterley, DDS

When a dentist asks me, "Can I actually afford to own a practice?"
They're almost never asking about the down payment.

What they're really asking is: Will this thing cash flow?

After I take on the loan, the overhead, the payroll, and the extra stress, is there going to be enough left over to make it worth it, or am I better off just collecting a steady associate paycheck?

That's a fair question, and it deserves an honest answer.
