Product Description:
 
If you're thinking about buying a dental practice, you must read this book. Thousands of dentists go through the process of buying a dental practice every year. Did they choose a good practice? Did they buy at the right price? Did they buy at the right time? The stakes are high to get the RIGHT answers to those questions. Buy the wrong practice and you're looking at stress, money worries, angry staff and patients, and a frustrated family that doesn't see you as much as they'd like. Buy the right practice, like many do, and you have the foundation upon which to thrive - happy, relaxed, wealthy and positively impacting the lives of patients and living the life of your dreams. Unfortunately, the process of how to buy a dental practice remains a black box for the majority of buyers. Advice, tips and information are spread across magazines, blogs, online forums and podcasts with no easy way to tell the good advice from the bad. Until now. How to Buy a Dental Practice walks buyers step-by-step through the process of finding, analyzing, and purchasing a great dental practice.

In this book you'll find answers to questions like:

  • How do I find a good practice?
  • How do I choose a good accountant and attorney?
  • How can I tell a good practice from a bad one?
  • When is the right time to sign a letter of intent? - What can I negotiate besides price?
  • How do I get a bank loan?
  • What do I do after I find a practice to buy?

After reading this book, you will be armed with the specific knowledge and checklists to find, analyze and purchase the right practice for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Quick read, good information, March 08, 2018
By ANTHONY G
This book seems to be a great starting point to understand the essentials when buying a practice. It's not meant to be extremely detailed, but it gave me many new points to consider when buying a practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars.  Easy read but not enough meat, January 24, 2018
By Frank
While it was a good read I would of enjoyed more content and more information. If this is your first book on practice acquisition then it's a good start. Most of the advice given by the author is to hire someone to perform all the steps of the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  I have bought/sold practices. Great how-to book for dentists looking to buy AND sell their practices., August 25, 2017
By Dr Jason West
All I can say is well done. I am not a dentist but I am a health care provider and I am in the process of buying a practice and selling another one. At the end of the day, business is business and this is full of clear and well thought points that would have made my transactions smoother. As I move into the next phase of my business career, now I can add dental practices as an option. Great job Brian, nice read, I highly recommend this book to all dentists looking for a way to acquire a practice AND all dentists looking to sell their practice. I learned so many things about my business as I got ready to sell it and this book summarized them. You should read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Good primer on buying, July 23, 2017
By seriouscomic
Brian is a wonderful writer, this was an enjoyable read. During the read you will learn valuable nuggets of wisdom. He comes across as wise and unbiased in educating a prospective buyer. Some of his advice is counterculture and I appreciated the different perspective.

He plugs in his services often in the book and I didn't view it as a bad thing, especially if you are anyways looking to hire professional help. Almost all books you will read on this topic are nothing more than marketing material for the authors services but Brian tried to be very subtle about it.
