Biography

Dr. Dettmer owned and operated a very successful fee-for-service dental practice from 1972 until he sold that business in 2014.  As a healthcare professional and entrepreneur, Marty has experience in all facets of operating a privately-held business including issues relating to human resources, financial, administration and partnerships.  He also understands the process of selling and transitioning an owner-operated business having found his buyer and negotiated the sale of his practice with very little professional help.

Marty has served as a Board member with not-for-profit organizations and today serves as the Chairman of the Construction Committee of the DuPage County affiliate of Habitat For Humanity.  He is known for his compassion and for his insightful and analytical approach to both medical and business issues.  Marty is a service-oriented professional with the business acumen and wisdom of a successful entrepreneur.
