Who We Are

"The difference I experienced is that they really care about my well-being and the success of my practice."

"Their patience, persistence, caring, and confidence helped us ride out the rough spots, and we always knew we could count on them for help."

"When they spoke with me and looked at my practice, I felt for the first time like someone was actually looking at MY practice."

Judy Marcus - President

Judy Marcus has been helping general dentists in private practice for over 30 years.

In 1989 she and her husband started a dental seminar and training company, where Judy was a keynote speaker and executive in charge of operations.

When they founded Vanguard Dental Management in 2000, their goal was to create a different kind of company, one that would provide practice owners and their staff with personalized consulting and assistance specifically geared to resolving those issues that prevent them from reaching their goals.

Judy’s clients value her patience, care, and willingness to help them through any and all challenges they encounter in their practice.

Outside of work Judy enjoys spending time with her family and pursuing outdoor activities. She and her husband love the natural beauty of Colorado and spend much of their free time outdoors appreciating the abundant scenery and wildlife.

Christopher Marcus - CEO

Chris Marcus has spent 13 years working with dentists as a part of Vanguard Dental Management.

His focus with every client is ensuring they truly understand the key area of their practice that may have been confusing or difficult before, including marketing, case acceptance and financial planning.

Chris has spent his entire working career in the field of dentistry, and has a passion for helping practice owners truly understand their small business, and feel less stressed and more in control.

Chris enjoys spending time with his wife Danelle, who is also part of the Vanguard team, their son Liam, and their 3 dogs.
