SOUTHFIELD, Mich.—Great Expressions Dental Centers, one of the largest dental support organizations in the U.S., announced that Dan Hirschfeld has joined the company as chief executive officer. 
 
Founded in 1982 and operating as a single brand, GEDC provides comprehensive, affordable dental services through its network of more than 300 affiliated practices staffed by more than 900 dentists and hygienists who deliver their care through more than one million visits per year.
 
Hirschfeld has more than 30 years of experience in health care services, including as president and CEO of three different companies. Most recently, he served as president of Genesis Rehabilitation Services and International Operations and EVP/COO for Genesis Healthcare, a $6 billion publicly-traded health care services company focused on rehabilitation, long-term care and assisted living. During his tenure, Genesis Rehabilitation scaled from 400 locations to 1,700 locations.
 
“I am truly excited to join the leading brand in the dental industry,” said Hirschfeld. “Day in and day out, Great Expressions delivers outstanding patient care, one smile at a time. I could not be prouder to join this dedicated, committed and passionate team. Without all of them, our success would not be possible.  I look forward to continuing its commitment to operational excellence and patient experience, and bringing a GEDC smile to even more happy faces.”
 
“Attracting someone with Dan’s experience, talent and vision positions GEDC to accelerate its growth at a dynamic time in the dental industry. We are excited to welcome Dan and look forward to him guiding the company in its continued success as one of the premier dental support organizations in the country," added Tim Armstrong, managing director of Roark Capital Group, whose affiliates own a majority of GEDC.
