Finally, Expert IT Support That Truly Understands Your Dental Practice, Medical Practice, and Clinical Laboratory

At M24 Technologies, we are redefining what healthcare IT support should be.
Led by a founder with deep, firsthand experience inside dental practices, medical offices, and clinical laboratories, we offer something most IT companies simply cannot: a true understanding of your world.

While other IT providers talk about technology in abstract terms, we know exactly how critical reliable IT is when it comes to delivering patient care, running clinical lab operations, and maintaining compliance. When systems fail, it is not just frustrating; it impacts lives, revenue, and your reputation.
That is why M24 Technologies exists: to deliver seamless IT solutions that actually make sense for the way your dental practice, medical practice, or clinical lab operates.

Meet the Expert Behind M24 Technologies

At the heart of M24 Technologies is Lester Catanghal, an IT professional whose journey into technology was born directly out of the real-world challenges faced by dental offices and clinical laboratories.

With 17 years of IT experience across industries like healthcare, biotechnology, banking, waste management, and powersports, Lester brings a rare blend of technical expertise and hands-on healthcare operations knowledge. His story began in the dental field, not from the sidelines, but chairside with patients, working as a certified dental assistant. He worked directly alongside dentists performing X-rays, assisting in cleanings, fillings, crown preps, root canals, and more. He even supported front office operations, handling patient scheduling, insurance coordination, and critical administrative workflows.

This experience gave him a unique perspective on how technology impacts both patient care and practice management. He saw firsthand how a slow server, a crashed practice management system, or a malfunctioning digital x-ray sensor could bring an entire practice to a halt. And he was the person who stepped up to solve those problems long before officially transitioning into full-time IT.

Beyond the dental practice walls, Lester also made a significant impact in the clinical laboratory space. He partnered with Clinical Laboratory Scientists, Lab Directors, and LIS (Laboratory Information System) experts to design and implement IT infrastructures from the ground up. From secure networking, firewall protection, and server configuration to ensuring HIPAA compliance and LIS system integrations, Lester played a critical role in bringing clinical labs from blueprints to fully operational environments. He understands the high stakes in clinical diagnostics and the need for speed, accuracy, and security at every layer of technology.

Armed with a background in Computer Science from Santa Ana College and Cal State Fullerton, along with experience in cybersecurity, cloud, and networking technologies (Microsoft 365, AWS, Azure, Cisco), and more, Lester combines deep technical skills with operational empathy. He is not just an IT guy; he is a healthcare technology strategist who knows that every decision made behind the scenes affects the frontlines of patient care.

When you work with M24 Technologies, you are getting a partner who has walked in your shoes, understands your pressures, and knows how to build an IT foundation that lets you focus on delivering exceptional care.
