What Dentists Are Saying
When I decided to sell my practice, I had no idea how to get started, what steps to take or the proper paper work to fill out. That’s where Justin came in to pull it all together and to guide it through to the end. I honestly don’t know how it would have gotten done otherwise. Not only was he very well-versed on the whole practice selling process, but he was always there to answer any questions I had and to offer suggestions. Never was he pushy or in a hurry to get things done, but always looking out for what was best for me. For this, I am grateful and would recommend Justin without reservation to anyone wishing to sell or buy a practice.
Justin and his associates are consummate professionals. Their attention to detail throughout this transition was paramount. They worked tireless with me and my family every step of the way to ensure the transition was completed without issues and in a very timely manner. Most importantly to me, they understood the terms needed for me to successfully retire and found a new practice for my patients and staff where they could provide/obtain high quality dental care.
As my retirement years were approaching, the time had come for me to begin the process of selling my practice. I was referred to Justin Baumann at DDSmatch by my Patterson Dental Sales Rep. At the initial meeting, he was knowledgeable, friendly and reassuring about selling my practice. Justin eased the stress and fear of selling a practice in a rural setting. He was present for all the prospective buyers at the numerous office showings. The selling experience proceeded effortlessly and I sold the practice quickly. I would highly recommend using Justin Baumann as a broker if you are contemplating selling in the future!
Just as in the legal world you need a representative on your side, so too with a practice transition. I found Justin right after a failed 11th hour deal breaker with a DSO. Not only were they devaluating my practice, but also took advantage of every opportunity to steer my practice in a different direction than I had been successfully navigating for over 36 years! Both myself and my staff would have been at the mercy of an endless series of negative changes that would have affected my patients and the relationships that we have developed over decades of committed care. I could not have had a successful practice transition without Justin!
Selling your dental practice can be a complicated endeavor, and choosing the wrong broker can severely impact your financial health. Calling Justin Baumann changed my understanding of the process. The team was laser-focused. The professionalism, focus, and management of the sales process were far superior to my previous experience. No 2 deals are the same. My practice sale, from meeting Justin to close, had a 6-month timeline. I have no reservation stating that DDSMatch and Justin Baumann provide an exceptional level of expertise to successfully guide you through the sales process.
My experience with selling my practice was made less stressful and more graceful thanks to Joe McGonigal. DDSmatch and Joe took the time to give me the pros and cons of each option I had. Joe is a wealth of information and a great resource. The support and guidance were pivotal in a successful negotiation. Joe had 'my back,' taking his time to ensure I was sure of each decision and understood what each part of the contract meant to me in 'real-life terms.' Thanks to Joe, I sold my practice and was very happy with the valuation he had done. DDS is not just about selling a practice; they truly are great partners in transitions and exit strategies.
Justin, I just wanted to tell you what a great job you did selling my dental practice. You took all of the stress that was building on my shoulders and made it very easy for me. It was the smoothest of the transitions I have been apart of. Thank you for the exceptional service you provided for me.
Joe and Bill presented a powerful full-day lecture on the complexities of a very personal and emotional topic – the transition of your practice. Whether the transition involves retirement or the search for an associate, Joe and Bill proved that they were knowledgeable, respectful, and diligent throughout their seminar without the sense that they were pitching their services. I would have full confidence in their team to aid in our practice transition when the time comes.
I had the great fortune of working with Joe McGonigal from DDSmatch when selling my dental practice. The entire process, from the initial interview through final closing on the sale, was handled both professionally and personally. In each step of the process, he demonstrated a high level of experience and knowledge, giving us the confidence to go forward with what is certainly one of the most important transactions that we have completed. I was very pleased with the entire process and can give Joe and his company my highest recommendation.
I've been working with Bill Coates in different capacities for the last 10 years. He's been a key partner in helping me grow my business. As someone who's bought a dental practice from him, I've found him to be both incredibly professional and transparent in his approach and can easily recommend him as a practice transition advisor.
Justin, thank you for your professionalism and integrity, it was a pleasure to work with you and your associates. You gently guided us through the entire transition process with great care and patience. The response to the last correspondence was as quick as the first. The retirement and practice transfer process were made seamless. Again, thank you.
