Mark Oganovich really was a godsend to work with. We had worked with other lenders in the past for some of our corporate projects, where we felt unheard and a bit taken advantage of. Mark really dispelled those feelings, right away. He strove to get us the lowest interest rates possible, he provided funding as fast as he could, and he was just a pleasure to work with. On a personal level, I have changed several of my personal accounts over to First Midwest because of how great it was working with Mark, and I have received the same level of professional care on the personal banking side as well.

Building a new practice is an incredibly stressful and demanding process, and the last thing you want to worry about is financing. After having multiple conversations with a variety of bankers, it was clear that Mark was the right choice for our practice. He was transparent, creative, and most of all, he understood our industry and was able to clearly articulate all of the available options so we could hit the ground running. His entire team was extremely professional, helpful, and prompt throughout the lending process and Mark made himself available at all times for questions. I strongly recommend Mark for any commercial lending needs. Building a new practice is an incredibly stressful and demanding process, and the last thing you want to worry about is financing.

I have been working with Mark ever since our second location back in 2015. Mark has supported the expansion of Orthodontic Experts for the past 4-5 years through start-up financing, acquisitions, and real estate loans. Mark understands banking and financing needs of large, multi-location groups like Orthodontic Experts. In addition to being a great banker, Mark understands local dental industry well and has always been a great resource for any operational advise. It's great to have a local banker, like Mark, who's just a phone call away. I have been working with Mark ever since our second location back in 2015.

Mark and his entire team were awesome to work with. They made the process of buying my dental practice so easy!

As a commercial banking partner, Mark “gets it”. He understands that relationships, trust, confidence, and communication along with a can-do attitude is still king in business relationships. Trust is not something that comes quickly, but once earned, its lasting and you’ve earned my trust.As a commercial banking partner, Mark “gets it”.

I’ve worked with Mark Oganovich and his team on a few deals now, and the process only got better each time. We were able to achieve this by his team’s over-communication, combined with a complete understanding on both ends of what’s expected to get to the finish line. Mark is very thorough and takes the time to understand his clients vision not only from a business level but a personal one as well. Whether its by email or even a text, his prompt responsiveness is always appreciated. I’ve recommended Mark to some friends in the dental space, and needless to say, they too have been very appreciative of my referral. I was told by a multi-practice owner, it’s very rare you come across a banker that actually tries their best to get to the closing table, rather than finding ways the deal can’t work; and I couldn’t agree more!!I’ve worked with Mark Oganovich and his team on a few deals now, and the process only got better each time.

The process of starting an office can be stressful, if not, overwhelming. One of the best referrals we received was the team at Old National Bank.
