I asked Dr. Suzanne Ebert to share the horror stories and what she’s seen go wrong when dentists buy and sell practices. My listeners need to know the dark side, not just the rah rah moments. Dr. Ebert is with ADA Practice Transitions™ and has facilitated agreements with strange requirements (take my wife, please!) but also many that have been a positive life changer for families and communities. Even if you don’t think this is in your near future you never know what life has in store. I’d rather you be prepared so that you know, you can’t say nobody told you that!  😊
