What practice owners say about the Capital Partners process.

During the difficult pandemic in 2021, Mike and his team were able to sell my dental practice in a downtown metro area. The process was smooth and painless as Mike handled everything from A to Z. Then, in 2022 he approached me about selling my larger office to a DSO. I was not interested AT ALL, but entertained him anyway. After their review of my financials I was blown away at the valuation! Cash out equity now, put it in the market and sign a 5 year employment agreement — it was a no brainer. Mike began talking to a few DSOs and turns out they were all interested. It left the decision on who to go with to me! I chose who I thought would make the best long term partner. The best part: since they were all interested, Mike was able to drive the valuation up even higher! I was totally blown away. Mike and his team know the business very well and they take good care of their clients.

The professionalism, patience and tolerance David demonstrated transitioning a husband and wife, multi-specialty practice was remarkable. His commitment to our practice well-being and our professional future was truly unmatched. David was able to partner us with a dental support organization that exceeded our expectations. The terms he negotiated made most of my colleagues' jaws drop in disbelief — a value of over 120% of practice collections and a transition commission half of what others charge. Never felt so free and financially secure in my life. Finally, I am able to enjoy what I am trained to do best while still spending quality time with my family. Forever grateful.

We built a very successful practice in Wesley Chapel, Florida over the last five years. As we grew, we were having difficulty keeping overhead down. We decided to partner with a DSO and reached out to private equity and DSOs, getting a wide range of offers. We found Mike Furlong online. He asked a lot of questions and requested a lot of information, but he was able to generate a proper EBITDA — and improved it with add-ons we weren't aware of. Mike approached multiple DSOs and got us multiple offers. We got 30% more than our initial offer and found a great partner. We were able to retain good equity too. Mike is very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and kept us informed throughout.

I recently had the pleasure of working with 1st Med Transitions to find a partner for my dental practice, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation to the final closing, their team demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. One of the standout features is their deep understanding of the dental industry. They provided insightful market analysis, helping me understand the value of my practice and set realistic expectations — invaluable guidance in navigating pricing strategies and identifying potential buyers. What truly sets them apart is their personalized approach. They took the time to understand my specific needs and goals, tailoring their services to my unique requirements.

Michael Furlong is top notch. His professionalism, honesty and dedication to his clients is rare these days. There is no time wasted once your practice is listed as there are a plethora of buyers, from private buyers to DSOs, that Michael will introduce you to. I cannot thank him enough for getting me the best number for my practice and for his tenacity on getting the sale across the goal line despite the obstacles. Couldn't be any happier and would highly recommend any of my colleagues to work with Michael in the future.

I recently used 1st Med to work with a DSO in the capacity of bringing them on as a partner in my large dental practice. Michael did a wonderful job of explaining the process, introducing me to a variety of different groups and helping me find the best fit and the best value for my situation. It was very important to get maximum value, but also find the right fit for my style of practice. That is exactly what we did. This review is being done months after closing and I am still happy with the decision.

I had a great experience working with Michael. Michael and his team are very reliable, trustworthy and very thorough in their work. They handled my DSO sale very well and they delivered the results in a timely manner. I will definitely work with them in the future and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a transition.

I had a great experience with 1st Med selling my dental practice to a DSO as an exit strategy, with the plan to continue working but slow down to a few days a week after a few more years. David Goldstein was very attentive the entire process and was great at negotiating the price and some other contested issues. Very fair price also.
