Our Story

Built by experience. Expanded by vision.

The journey began long before the launch of Practice Transition Partners. In 2010, Dr. Albert "Lee" Maddox—Dentist. Attorney. Practice Broker.—founded Maddox Practice Group, a dental practice transition firm built on expertise, integrity, and personalized service.

In 2013, Maddox Practice Group was acquired by Henry Schein, where Dr. Maddox joined the company as a Vice President and Regional Director and led practice transitions across seven states. After five successful years with Henry Schein, he returned to practicing healthcare law full time in 2018, continuing to represent healthcare professionals in practice transitions and healthcare transactions nationwide.

In 2024, Dr. Maddox partnered with his son, Michael Maddox, to launch Maddox Dental Practice Sales with a vision to modernize healthcare practice brokerage. Combining decades of industry experience with innovative technology, attorney led representation, in house valuation expertise, and a client first approach, the company quickly established itself as one of the fastest growing healthcare brokerage firms in the country.

As the business expanded, so did its vision. In early 2026, Maddox Dental Practice Sales joined forces with nationally recognized healthcare attorney Jason Wood and his firm to create a nationwide platform dedicated to serving healthcare professionals across the United States. Together, they expanded the firm's legal, brokerage, and advisory capabilities while building the foundation for continued national growth.

As part of that expansion, the newly formed company acquired Practice Transition Partners, combining one of the industry's most respected brands with a modern, full service healthcare transition platform. Today, Practice Transition Partners serves healthcare professionals nationwide through experienced brokers, healthcare attorneys, valuation specialists, and transaction coordinators, helping clients navigate one of the most significant decisions of their careers with confidence, discretion, and exceptional results.

The Practice Transition Partners name carries a legacy built by founder Rob Stanbery, whose decades of experience and commitment to integrity earned the trust of healthcare professionals across the country. His dedication to personalized service and successful practice transitions established a nationally respected brand. We are honored to continue that legacy while building the next generation of healthcare practice transitions through innovation, collaboration, and a nationwide team of experienced professionals.

Our Values

How we do what we do

These aren't aspirational statements. They're the operating principles behind every transaction.

Confidentiality above all

Your identity, your financials, and your plans stay private. Every prospective buyer executes an NDA before receiving any details. We've never had a confidentiality breach in 22 years.

Transparency at every step

We tell you what a practice is worth — not what you want to hear. Our valuations are independent, data-backed, and fully documented so you can make decisions with confidence.

Aligned incentives

We earn our fee when you close — not when you list. That alignment means we work to get you to a successful transaction, not just to have you on our books.

Get in touch

Whether you're ready to start or just have questions, we're here. All conversations are completely confidential and carry no obligation.

Your information is kept strictly confidential. We never share client details with third parties.
