Trillium Oral Surgery & Implantology

Ann Arbor, MI

Every deal has a story—this one came down to timing, trust, and getting it right.

The Situation

When we met Dr. Jeff Wasielewski and the team at Trillium Oral Surgery & Implantology, the practice was operating out of three locations—Plymouth, Chelsea, and a central hub in Ann Arbor.

That Ann Arbor office, while well-located, was becoming a bottleneck:

Under 3,000 sq ft with just four operatories
On the second floor with unreliable elevator access
Lacked visibility in a competitive market
Created challenges for post-op patient flow—especially for those needing assistance to reach their ride home

Given the complexity of oral surgery infrastructure—plumbed med gas, surgical HVAC, and specialized recovery flow—this wasn’t just a real estate decision. It was a mission-critical investment. And with a very expensive buildout on the horizon, there was no room for error.

The Process

We began by defining the team’s space and functionality requirements, working closely with their equipment supplier and clinical leadership to design ideal layouts across several candidate sites.
We had options—but nothing was quite right.
Then, a compelling opportunity surfaced. Trillium could be the anchor tenant in a brand-new development. It checked many boxes. But after months of planning and coordination, serious challenges emerged:
- Construction timelines were fluid and unpredictable
- Municipal approvals added unnecessary risk
- Most importantly, time was running short
At this point, the pressure was real. The doctors needed certainty—and fast.

The Solution

We pivoted swiftly—broadening the search and moving decisively. We submitted aggressive offers and engaged directly with ready-to-deal landlords.
One property stood out: 315 E Eisenhower – one of Ann Arbor’s most prestigious professional addresses
- It had a stable, collaborative landlord,
- A clearly defined path to occupancy, and
- A space that exceeded clinical, operational, and branding expectations.

The Result

Trillium’s new flagship location is a powerful step forward—nearly 8,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed surgical space, including:

Twelve fully equipped operatories
A large conference room built for team training and professional study clubs
A private doctor’s office with an exterior balcony overlooking a private lake
An expansive breakroom for staff in a serene, scenic setting
And a refined presence in a Class A building that mirrors the caliber of their care

This wasn’t just about square footage—it was about protecting patient experience, empowering a growing team, and building a space that reflects the surgical excellence Trillium delivers every day.

Congratulations to Dr. Wasielewski! We are excited for you and the entire Trillium team on their incredible new home.

It took persistence, creativity, and the right partners to get there—and we were honored to be part of the journey.

I am thrilled to share my experience with Mirlo Real Estate Partners. As an oral surgeon, the thought of handling a commercial real estate transaction and the subsequent buildout of my new office was daunting. However, Mirlo made the entire process seamless and efficient. From the outset, they were attentive to every detail of my requirements. Their knowledge and professionalism were evident as they guided us through each step, ensuring that every aspect of the deal was executed at the highest level. Nick and Remy worked hard to advocate for us and were committed partners in our success. Thanks to their exceptional service, I am now operating in a state-of-the-art facility, perfectly suited for my patients and staff. I wholeheartedly recommend Mirlo Real Estate Partners to anyone looking for a reliable and highly competent commercial real estate partner. -Dr. Jeffrey Wasielewski, DDS, MD, MBA | Trillium Oral Surgery & Implantology

What Our Clients Are Saying

Remy was very helpful and straight forward with me about the challenges of starting a practice. He kept me well informed and was very proactive, a professional in every aspect of the real estate business. I could not have navigated this process without him; I will definitely use Remy for our future growth needs.

Dr. Kevin Semma, OD

Remy has been an indispensable part of my journey to build a veterinary practice. I had another commercial realtor that was not familiar with veterinary profession when Remy reached out to me. When I decided to stay with my previous realtor, Remy was willing to answer any questions I had or help in any way, even though I was not signing with him. I felt he genuinely wanted my business to succeed and wanted to help. Soon I realized the importance of having a realtor who has special knowledge of the healthcare field when choosing a space and decided to reach out to him. Remy is very professional, relaxed, and inviting. He brings his own expertise as well as others to consult about different aspects of building a practice. Remy is available, thoughtful, supportive, and assists in problem solving concerns that arise. The process was less stressful, because he was a partner in the process, not just a realtor. I have and will continue to recommend him for any commercial real estate needs.

Dr. Katie Boatman, DVM

Working with Mirlo Real Estate Partners was a great experience, and I could not be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, Nick and Remy helped me establish my preferences and outlined the best strategy for my specific situation. Not only werethey able to find the PERFECT space for me in a brand new medical office building, but due to the tight deadline, they were also able to find me an OUTSTANDING temporary space to occupy during the construction period to minimize downtime for my practice. Their hard work and dedication really made the transition seamless. Their knowledge of my needs and the market was STRONG and helped me achieve VERY FAVORABLE terms. I would highly recommend them to any healthcare provider for their commercial real estate needs.

Dr. Alon Kahana, MD, PhD

We are incredibly grateful to Remy Isdaner for guiding us through the challenging journey of starting our veterinary practice. Remy’s knowledge was deemed invaluable from the outset, assisting us in every aspect of the startup process. Remy found just the right building, and it wasn’t even on the market. He contacted the owners and successfully negotiated a favorable deal, making our dream of owning a practice a reality. Remy’s professionalism, persistence, and genuine care for our success truly set him apart. We highly recommend Remy to any business owner needing support with their business endeavors!

Dr. Krysten Andrews, DVM & Dr. TJ Vernaci, DVM

As an established oral surgeon, I can wholeheartedly recommend Remy Isdaner and Mirlo Real Estate Partners to any medical professional seeking to start or expand their practice. Not only did Remy advocate and fight for my best interest, but he also demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of my industry, exceeding my expectations and making the process as smooth as possible. With Remy taking so much off my plate I was able to focus on building and marketing my business, allowing me to open my doors with a full schedule of patients. I could not be more satisfied with my experience working with Remy and my new, state-of-the-art oral surgery practice.
