Incubator Graduate Dr. Manuel “Sylvester” Gonzales General Dentistry

By: Monica Willey, HTIA Program Administrator

Emerging Enterprises Business Resource Center (EEBRC) is pleased to announce that Sylvester Gonzales, a Dentist, has successfully completed the course and is now set in motion to open a General Dental Practice in the near future.

Dr. Gonzales is not only the first doctor in his family, but the first college graduate. His family migrated from Mexico three generations back. Dr. Gonzales is also a pioneer in the Hispanic community; he is part of the 2% that makes up the Hispanic Dentists in the United States.

Along with dreams of professional freedom and a private practice came the fears of how to get started. "The incubator’s structured guidance and a supportive team helped me overcome these insecurities. I feel more prepared for a self-owned business because of the courses offered at the Center. I recommends the Emerging Enterprises Business Resource Center to future entrepreneurs because they commitment to an individual’s success," states Dr. Gonzales.
