McLerran & Associates
Paul E. McLerran, DDS, CCIM, is a 1970 graduate of Baylor University and was in the first graduating class from the University of Texas Dental School at San Antonio in 1974. Paul practiced general dentistry in San Antonio from 1974 to 1983 and, during this time, he was an associate doctor, owned and sold several offices, employed associate doctors, went through a partnership buy in, practiced in a partnership, and eventually sold the practice to his partner. He has personally experienced most of the transitional phases in dentistry and brings a greater level of empathy to dentists in transitional situations. Paul has earned the prestigious commercial real estate designation, CCIM, which is awarded by the National Association of Realtors and also earned the Certified Financial Planner designation, CFP, in 1988. Paul established McLerran & Associates in 1987 and, since then, has been involved in practice sales, appraisals, associate/partnership structure, and consulting.
Paul lives in San Antonio with his wife Carolyn and has two children. Paul is a collector of orchids, and, when he is not working in his greenhouse, can be found on the golf course or fishing at Port Aransas.
