Dr. Sulman Ahmed is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of DECA Dental. He is instrumental in shaping and overseeing DECA Dental’s growth, strategy and culture. In 2008, Dr. Ahmed opened his first dental office and set out to create a truly patient-centered model. His belief in putting patients first is the fundamental backbone of DECA Dental’s core values and patient care delivery model.

Additionally, under Dr. Ahmed’s leadership, DECA Dental has grown rapidly to become one of the industry’s fastest-growing and most respected organizations. It has received several honors and awards.
