"To the Practice Transition Partners Team,
Thank you all for the successful transition of my dental practice. Only after it was completed, could one truly appreciate the amount of time, effort and expertise required to accomplish the objective. Your company met or exceeded my expectations in all the key facets of the transition.

Rob, I want to acknowledge not only your expertise in the area of practice transitions, but also your dedication to always being available to answer my questions, or work through the inevitable issues which surface. The consistent timeliness of your responses to my questions can not be over emphasized. The most amazing and gratifying aspect of the sale was your ability to market my practice discreetly from beginning to end. I wanted to believe this could happen, but didn't really expect it. While this probably is not possible in all cases, it was true for my situation. Thank you for the focused intention you brought to the process. While it is true that you were representing me, I was impressed with your consistent sensibility to all parties concerned in whatever negotiation was occurring.

Sue, thank you for always being there to answer my calls and direct me to the right answer. Your kindness and understanding combined with your professionalism was a reassuring and stabilizing force for me throughout this process.

Susan, thank you for your professionalism and timeliness of executing the transition documents. I always felt up to date and informed.

Finally, if anyone were to ask me about my experiences with your company, I would tell them that the professionalism, expertise and knowledge, communication, and dedication to the success of all parties was remarkable, and I would recommend your services highly. I would be happy to make myself available to speak with anyone interested in knowing about your company or my experience.

Sincerely,"
Marc A. Johnson, DDS - Saratoga Springs, New York
"Practice Transition Partners is undoubtedly the finest company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Your attention to detail, personalized care, confidentiality, ability to listen and WOW factor set the standard in the practice transition business. I interviewed over a dozen practice brokerages before entrusting you to handle the greatest decision in my career. People who have seen my Practice Prospectus created by you are amazed. I was amazed. Thank you for helping me and others like me realize their dreams. I could not be happier with the transition you made happen."

"P.S. My successor thinks you are the greatest broker too having worked with a couple of other brokers himself."

"Thank you for all your exceptional expertise with the sale of my endo practice. The skill and knowledge you demonstrated during the entire transaction was extremely impressive. Your ability to take care of the business as well as the personal aspects of the sale exceeded my expectations. It was almost unbelievable how fast and smooth the entire transaction took place.

I would highly recommend you and your staff to anyone who is buying or selling a dental practice.

"Rob Stanbery of Practice Transition Partners was successful in not only selling a practice for me, but also in locating another practice for me to purchase. Rob's expertise and abilities are of the highest standards. Both of the transactions were facilitated in a very professional and timely manner. I not only consider Rob a man of integrity and abilities, but also as my friend. Practice Transition Partners can be trusted to accomplish your desires with the same level of excellence that they did for me."
Laurie Lazarou, D.M.D. - Pacific Palisades, CA
"I want to thank you for all of your help and support during the sale of my endo practice. Working with you and your staff, Sue and Katie was a pleasure. So much of the weight was lifted off my shoulders and I sincerely appreciate all of your time and effort spent. Should I ever be in the market for a new practice, "Practice Transition Partners" will be the first people I call. Thanks again for making this transition so seamless.

Warm Regards,"
Stephen Glazier, DDS - Penn Valley, CA
"I so appreciate your professional assistance with selling my practice. Both of you were so easy to work with and did such a great job with all aspects of the sale. I realized that you both were very busy, but you always made me feel that my practice was the only one you were handling. Meeting you both in person at the very beginning of our relationship was a big plus for my wife and me.

Your appraisal of my practice was very thorough and I was impressed with the professional appearance of the Prospectus you put together. I was impressed with your knowledge of the market and your honesty in discussing issues related to the marketing and sale. There was not one thing that slipped through the cracks. Your staff was also a pleasure to work with.

I am so glad that I chose to be represented by Practice Transition Partners. I have never sold a practice before but I can't imagine that the process could have been any easier than you made it. I was so pleased that my practice sold for the asking price.

If ever I am asked by a colleague who I would recommend to represent them in their sale you will be the only recommendation I will give.

Thanks again for the great assistance you provided.

Sincerely,"
Randall A. Segovia, D.D.S. - Media, Pennsylvania
"Thanks for all of your help . . . If any other doctors want references, please include me as one who can say that your services were absolutely worth everything and then some! I was very, very pleased with your dedication, hard work and perseverance.

Thanks so much."
Allan Braman, DMD - Portland, OR
"Dear Rob,
Just a note to express my thanks for the great job you did in helping us with the practice sale. I never had any idea how many details there are and how important it is to have someone of your caliber and expertise to oversee the whole process. I would certainly give you and your staff the highest marks for excellence.

Sincerely,"
Stephen M. Palmer, D.D.S. - Phoenix, AZ
"Practice Transition Partners took all the pain out of selling my practice. Financing for the buyer was lined up ahead of time based on my numbers, and when it came time to do the deal it was a 'slam dunk'. But most impressive to my family and me was the time Rob Stanbery spent with us getting to know his clients on a personal level. I had already relocated my family 300 miles from the practice. Rob came with me on a weekend to meet my family. After this particular weekend, we knew we were being represented by a friend."
Gary M. Bullock Gary M. Bullock, Bullock and Regier, P.C. - Portland, Oregon
"Dear Rob,
I have never met an expert that was as knowledgeable as you relating to dental practice valuations. You were able to respond to every question asked of you by the attorney. . . Thank you for being a true professional and thank you for being a friend of our client. . . If I ever have client who wants to sell his dental practice, you will be contacted immediately.
Sincerely,"
Tim Adams, DDS - Las Vegas, Nevada
"Rob,
A big thanks is in order for successfully finding the right buyer for my practice. From our first interview to the final signing of the documents and even the follow up after the sale was incredible. Not only were you great with all of the technical aspects of a practice sale---but more importantly the personal touch you added was the icing on the cake. With the way you handled the personal side of the sale I was convinced you had a Doctorate in Psychology. I feel that I could call you at any time and you would promptly get back with me--even in the middle of your busy schedule. You were the greatest!!!!!

The prospectus and brochure that you put together for my practice were very impressive and thorough. It was first class all of the way, something that I would expect from you now that I have had the privilege of working with you. The fact that we were able to find a buyer with a similar philosophy was probably one of the most important aspects of putting the sale of my practice together. I have since had a number of phone conversations with the dentist that bought my practice and she is doing great. The TEAM is really grateful that we were able to find an incredible person with similar dental skills and philosophy to carry on our vision of dental care. That in itself has made all the difference in the world as far as TEAM and patient retention. Because of similar the philosophy my old TEAM of 12-13 years has felt extremely comfortable with this major change in their lives, a most difficult task to achieve.

Thanks again Rob for not only being the conductor of the orchestra, but becoming a friend through all of the ups and downs with this major change in my life. You made my dream come true---leaving my dental family in the hands of someone that will carry the torch forward with confidence and pride. What more could you ask for???
Gratefully,"
Joseph R. Westbury, DDS - Oxnard, California
"Although you were representing the seller of the practice I purchased, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated all your help in making this deal come together. You are true professionals. You made what could have been a difficult transaction easy with your high level of service, positive attitude, and personable disposition. Thank you again for all you help.
Sincerely,"
Paraon N. DeQuiroz, DDS, Smile Design, Inc. - Phoenix, AZ
"I want to thank you . . . for making this acquisition as smooth as possible. You are very professional and very resourceful. You made it easy every step of the way. I started my transition into Dr. Palmer's practice and using your advice, I have had nothing but a very warm reception. You are first class all the way! It has been a pleasure working with you.
Truly,"
Robert J. Van Dyke, DDS Ltd - Las Vegas, NV
"Dear Rob,
I can't begin to thank you for all of the assistance you gave me in my recent purchase of my present dental practice here in Las Vegas. After you helped me sell my practice in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I never thought I would have to call upon your services again. When I decided that semi-retirement wasn't for me and I wanted to own a dental practice again, you were the first person I thought of to call.

My second experience with Practice Transition Partners was just as enjoyable as the first. You were so professional in the manner in which you negotiated the purchase. You were able to calculate a practice value that was reasonable and fair to both me as a buyer and the dentist who was selling the practice. Even his attorney mentioned how impressed he was that you had so many facts correct and that you made so many great recommendations to the correct wording of the final contract.

Your expert advice was reassuring to me, and gave me the confidence I needed to discuss any issue of the purchase with the selling dentist. There was no disagreement with the purchase price because you had taken the time to correctly calculate the value of the practice. The other dentist accepted your figures without an argument because it was clearly evident that you had arrived at the actual true purchase price and value of the existing practice.

Rob, I can't begin to thank you enough for helping me begin this new phase of my dental career. I would honestly, and without any hesitation, recommend you to any dentist who is considering selling their practice or purchasing an existing practice. You have my gratitude and appreciation, and I will always be grateful for your expertise.

Sincerely,"
Carl Hicks, Jr., Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer FIRST PACIFIC CORPORATION

"Practice Transition Partners was instrumental in helping me to relocate to where I have always wanted to live. They understood the kind of practice I had and were able to find someone with similar goals and practice style. They were with me, every step of the way, throughout the sale to make it as smooth a transition as possible. The kind of practices that we are creating today requires a transition team that truly understands their unique value."
Frederic G. Wall, D.D.S. - Long Beach, CA
"I listed my dental practice and dental office building for sale with Practice Transition Partners in late November, 1999. Within one week they brought a buyer to the office who had an interest in buying the practice. Within a month the buyer also became interested in buying the building as well. This led to a sales contract for each entity being agreed upon by late January, 2000, at my asking price. All of the necessary details to complete the transactions were finished in a timely manner. The escrows closed together in 60 days as prescribed in the contract. I am totally satisfied with the results of the transactions and gladly recommend Practice Transition Partners."
S.D. Buck, D.D.S. - Seattle, WA
"I was very pleased to incorporate another practice into my existing patient base utilizing Practice Transition Partners. I was looking to refine the nature of my patient base, moving it to be more focused into a particular market segment. By purchasing a retiring dentist's patient base I acquired around a thousand clients with a very high percentage of patients age 45 to 70. This was very important to me because of the type of dentistry I am most interested in performing, namely cosmetic and advanced restorative care. This has resulted in a number of exciting esthetic/restorative cases in the $15,000 to $30,000 range. Since little additional overhead is being realized other than lab costs and debt service, the result has been an increase in profit directly because of the shifting mix of treatment. I am seeing an increase in production between $15,000 and $25,000 per month. If your interests lie in treating more mature adult patients, you can't lose by acquiring an older practitioner's patients, because generally the patients will be older and more established and there will be a huge potential in presenting advanced technology care, especially adhesive dentistry. The basic analysis on paper of the effect becomes one of the most business savvy decisions you can make. I would say without hesitation that any dentist would be foolish not to strongly consider this type of investment. I would also add that Practice Transition Partners understands these concepts well and works personally and precisely to facilitate smooth and timely mergers between compatible dentists, and as with all their services, you will find unparalleled integrity."
Paul R. Schreiter, D.D.S. - Flagstaff, AZ
"I found that working with Practice Transition Partners was the smartest thing I ever could have done for selling my dental practice. Rob took notes on every available detail, helped design a marketing strategy, and even flew in from across the country to take personalized digital pictures of the practice so prospective buyers could look over the physical facilities right over the internet. He worked helping the buyer obtain financing and I was able to get full asking price with no 'owner-carry' option. It was the best move I ever could have made to contract Practice Transition Partners for my practice sale. The service was impeccable."
Laurie S. Bloch, D.M.D. - Las Vegas, NV
"My entire experience with Practice Transition Partners was very positive. My practice sold almost immediately with a full-price cash offer. They are professionals and have a great ability to match buyer and seller. When I decided to sell my practice I didn't realize its full value. . . I highly recommend Practice Transition Partners. In fact, I tell everyone I know who is even thinking of relocating to another area that it is much easier than you would ever think. Just go for it, they make your dream come alive."
Rhys Spoor, DDS, FAGD - Seattle, WA
"A time had come in my career when I knew I was ready for a change. I had converted much of my existing practice from 'needed, insurance driven' dentistry to 'wanted, desire driven' dentistry. I also realized that my present location was not in line with my overall vision. So I contacted Practice Transition Partners and with the expert guidance of Robert Stanbery and Bill Blatchford, I purchased a practice that was ideal for my vision and sold the practice I had. Many complications and complexities were professionally and expeditiously handled and today I am positioned for the rest of my career. I highly recommend Practice Transition Partners to any dentist wanting to make a positive change toward the future."
Joseph Engh, DDS - Kirkland, Washington
“Rob at Practice Transition Partners is no doubt one of the best in the business of buying and selling a dental practice. He is definitely a person to consult with at one of the most critical turning points of a dentist's life. He is fast and efficient and he will make things happen. Do consider him before making the big move.”
Robert J. Van Dyke, DDS - Green Bay, WI
"When I had decided to sell my practice in Green Bay, WI, I was advised by some dentist friends to contact Rob Stanbery at Practice Transition Partners. This turned out to be the best advice I could have been given. Rob found a cash buyer for my practice in just a few weeks. Within five months the deal was finalized, and my practice was sold to the first buyer.

Rob was just tremendous in the manner in which he handled the buyer's representatives. He was able to anticipate their requests and prepare the appropriate responses so the negotiations could proceed smoothly and without conflict. Rob acted in my best interest as the terms of the purchase contract were prepared. He had a vast knowledge of the legal requirements and practice value determination. I felt very confident that I received the top value for my practice.

Selling a dental practice can be a very emotional decision. Rob Stanbery helped me to be confident that I had made the right decision in having him act as my personal representative in the sale of my practice."
Thomas J. Adams, DDS - San Diego, California
When six months ago I decided to sell my orthodontic practice, I consulted with a long-time trusted colleague who had sold his general practice within the past year. Along with other advice, he recommended the use of a broker if I wanted to make the process as pain-free as possible. In particular, he recommended Don Stanley, the Southern California Representative for "Practice Transition Partners".

After meeting with Don, I signed on for a practice evaluation after which I contracted with him to market the practice and find a buyer. He was able to quickly and efficiently contact several interested parties. Interviews ensued, an offer was accepted, and the practice was sold with the entire effort taking only 4 months.

Throughout the entire period Don was the consummate professional. He offered sage advice when it was requested, gently nudged when appropriate, and was always immediately accessible via phone or e-mail. His staff at the home office were also thoroughly professional in providing prompt and efficient support.

In sum, I am completely satisfied with Don's service and very pleased with the result. I would recommend him without reservation to any dentist (either buyer or seller) in the transition mode. He is also a heck of a nice guy and I need to call my long-time trusted colleague and thank him for the referral.
Margaret Alai, DMD - Lemon Grove, California
"For a few years I was thinking of selling my practice in order to relocate but I was afraid to do it. Last year I got a job offer outside the San Diego area and all of a sudden I had to sell my practice. I contacted two other brokers; they wanted a one year contract when I had only maximum two months to leave. I learned about Practice Transition Partners (PTP) through the San Diego Dental Society and it was a big relief. When Don Stanley/PTP told me they could work with my time limitation, I was flying! Only two days after the listing Don Stanley called me to advise a dentist couple wanted to see my office. Still today I cannot believe the sale went through so easily in a record time. Of course a lot of information, documents, numbers etc. needed to be exchanged, but all went very smoothly. I didn't know to be happy or sad; I had tears in my eyes. After 15 years it was hard to say goodbye to my "Baby" and to my staff! I called my office my "Baby," I spent a lot of time there. My staff was like my family. I like to say special thanks to Don Stanley and Sue Peterson in the PTP staff. They made the sale process very easy and pleasant for me and the buyers. I strongly recommend their services."
