"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,"

And after selling in Las Vegas a few years later . . .

"It is a strange feeling, but after 44 years, it was just time . . . I enjoy the retirement and being home with Pam. The decision to sell was the right thing to do at the right time. I am so grateful for all of your help in making all of this happen. You have been a very important part of my business life over the past twelve years and I sincerely appreciate your friendship."

"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,"

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,"

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,"

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,"

Stephen M. Palmer, DDS - 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."
