Selling Your Dental Practice to a DSO? Know What the Offer Is Really Worth

I have known Dr. Michael Nio since 2016, and over the years he has played an important role in some of the biggest professional decisions of my career. When Michael sold our practice in 2020, he delivered exactly what he said he would. His valuation proved accurate, the process was smooth, and his guidance gave us confidence every step of the way. In an environment where uncertainty can be overwhelming, Michael brought clarity, honesty, and calm leadership. I've also watched him step in for colleagues during some of the most stressful moments of their careers - navigating difficult partnership disputes, unexpected health crises, and other situations that required not just expertise, but compassion. He never shrinks from the hard conversations, and he always leads with integrity. Michael has also helped me personally during a very contentious partnership situation. His advice steadied me when I could have easily made decisions I would have regretted. His perspective was invaluable, and his loyalty was unwavering. What makes Michael unique is that he doesn't just act as a broker - he becomes a trusted advisor. He engages deeply with each client's goals, fears, and priorities. He takes the time to truly understand the full picture before offering guidance. Beyond his professional skill, Michael is someone I consider a friend and like family. He has a steady, calm presence that reassures you in difficult moments, and a genuine passion for helping dentists succeed - not just in transactions, but in building meaningful careers. I recommend him without hesitation to any dentist facing a transition, partnership decision, or major career move. Few people combine experience, integrity, and genuine care for their clients the way Michael does.

After 35 years of owning my private dental practice, deciding to sell was both a deeply personal and professional milestone. I was fortunate to work with Michael Njo at Practice Transitions Institute, whose expertise, integrity and calm guidance made all the difference in this life changing process. Michael approached the transition with genuine care. As a fellow dentist himself he understood the emotional weight of passing on a practice built over decades - not just the business side, but the relationships with my patients, staff, as well as the legacy I wanted to preserve. His firsthand experience gave me confidence and I knew I was in good hands. Michael navigated every stage of the transition with professionalism and respect for my goals. He found the perfect buyer who shares my commitment to high quality dental care and will carry on the legacy I worked so hard to build. I know my patients and staff will be left in good hands. If you are considering selling your practice and want a team that truly understands the emotional and practical complexities of the process, I highly recommend Michael and the Practice Transitions Institute.

I attended Mike's practice transition seminar and read his book. He was a very knowledgeable and seasoned expert in this area. I decided to use his consultation service to handle my practice sale. He was able to match a buyer within 2 weeks and completed the transaction within 45 days. He was so amazingly efficient throughout the transition process. I highly recommend him to any dentist interested in selling or buying a dental practice. Thanks again, Mike, you are my Superman.
