Thinking About Selling Your Practice? Start Here.
I spent 37 years building my practice. When the time came to sell, I thought I was ready. I wasn’t, not fully.
This page exists because I wish something like it had existed for me. Whether you’re just starting to think about an exit or you’re already in conversations with a DSO, what you’ll find here is honest, firsthand perspective from someone who’s been exactly where you are.
No sales pitch. No generic advice. Just what I learned, sometimes the hard way.
Where Are You Right Now?
Two quick questions to point you toward what’s most useful.
How far out are you from selling?
- Just starting to think about it (1 to 3 years out)
- Actively exploring or already in conversations
- I’ve already sold and I’m figuring out what comes next
What’s your biggest concern right now?
- Getting the timing and price right
- What the transition actually looks like day to day
- Who I am when the practice is gone
- Honestly, I’m not sure yet
Start With These

If you’re in conversations with a DSO or about to be, read this first. The things nobody walked me through before I signed.
The 5 Biggest Retirement Mistakes I Almost Made
These aren’t hypothetical. I almost made every one of them. If you’re within a few years of selling, this one is worth your time.
The Promise I Made Before I Left
I agreed to stay until Platinum Dental found my replacement. What happened over those months taught me more about loyalty and letting go than I expected.
What Scarcity Cost Me and What Abundance Has Given Back
The financial pressure of building a practice runs deep. This is what shifted when I finally stepped away, and what I didn’t expect to find on the other side.
The Wait We Couldn’t Afford
This one is personal. It’s about a season of waiting that had nothing to do with dentistry and everything to do with what matters most.
Want to Go Deeper?
If you’re the kind of person who wants the full picture before making a major decision, I wrote a book specifically for dentists navigating a practice sale. It covers valuation, timing, negotiations, and what comes after.

Not Sure If This Is for You?
