Seller
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.

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Njo for once again taking the time to come and share his knowledge with us. Having attended his previous session as well, I truly appreciate his continued support and commitment to mentoring us. His detailed lessons on how to carefully read and analyze dental benefit contracts, understand critical clauses, evaluate reimbursement structures, and assess long-term financial implications have truly opened our horizons. Additionally, his guidance on buying a dental practice - what numbers to review, what contractual points to look over, and how to approach decision-making analytically rather than emotionally - has given me clarity and confidence for the years ahead. These insights will undoubtedly help us make wiser professional choices in the future, and personally, I would value and seek his consultation when making important decisions in these areas. Beyond his expertise, Dr. Njo is such a humble person, always approachable with an ever-smiling face. Despite his busy schedule, he generously gives us his time and attention. I feel truly thankful and blessed to not only learn from him professionally but also to know him as a person.

I have worked with Dr. Michael Njo for nearly twenty years serving as my pediatric dental practice consultant. Just as importantly, he has been a trusted mentor and close friend during this time. Michael sets himself apart as a consultant with the unique expertise he has in the field, his impeccable character, and the bold short- and long-term strategic vision he sees for his clients. Michael has great experience in practice consulting because he has worked with dentists in many different stages of their careers from scratch starts to practice transitions. I think that any problem that I run into, Michael has seen it before and knows how to address it. In this way he can help identify what is not working and suggest improvements before small issues turn into big problems. Michael has a vast network of contacts that is invaluable. He has referred me to professionals in the banking, personal financial, dental insurance, fee schedules, payment processing, and staffing industries, among others. Specifically, Michael has helped us adopt marketing strategies to attract new patients, help our practice stand out in a crowded market, and deliver excellent dental services. In my practice, Michael's skill with team building has been instrumental in attracting, onboarding and retaining excellent team members. His personal coaching has helped me be a better leader, and helped our dental teams work together to deliver exceptional care for our patients. In all he does, Michael operates with integrity in his work. I have known him to dismiss clients because they do not share his values. I deeply respect this about him. Michael is true to improving the entire dental practice. He understands that if a dental team is not properly staffed, motivated, aligned, and financially sound, they cannot provide the best care to their patients. Each practice owner has a different path and Michael helps optimize each situation with his bold vision and unwavering support. He has helped me make many decisions by providing guidance on navigating complex situations. Michael understands how our professional life relates to, and supports our personal goals. His experience allows him to help us not just grow our business but live our best life while doing it. I want to thank Michael for his help throughout my career. We began working together a few years after my startup, and I would not be in the position that I am today without his help. I am deeply grateful for his mentorship and friendship over these many years.

I had the privilege of meeting Michael through my dental architect, who highly recommended him. At the time, I was already working with a startup and business coach, but I was dissatisfied with the level of service relative to the fees I was paying. Despite the premium cost, most of my interactions were with assistants rather than the coach directly. In contrast, Michael is consistently accessible by text, email, or phone and provides direct, hands-on guidance. He has a strong understanding of the business aspects of running a dental practice and has supported my startup office in multiple areas, including leadership development, staff management, and overall business coaching. I feel very fortunate to have worked with him and would confidently recommend his services to any dentist seeking to grow their practice in a thoughtful and effective way.

Buyer
I began working with Dr. Michael Njo in 2006 during the purchase of a highly respected Prosthodontic practice. While the practice was already well established, transitioning ownership at that level required thoughtful leadership and experienced guidance. Dr. Njo was instrumental in making that transition seamless. He helped me establish credibility as the new owner, maintain patient confidence, and guide an established team through change with clarity and professionalism. His business and team coaching strengthened systems, workflows, and accountability, and his ability to coach people through change while maintaining morale was invaluable. His leadership coaching had an equally meaningful impact. He helped me create a culture rooted in pride, expertise, and professionalism, and supported my growth not only as a practice owner, but as a leader within the broader dental community. I firmly believe that without his guidance, the transition would have been far more challenging and my success significantly slower to achieve. His influence sharpened my leadership, streamlined my operations, and helped me build the kind of team and practice I am proud to lead. Dr. Njo is more than a consultant - he is a trusted partner in professional growth.

I had the opportunity of attending a transition program by Dr. Michael Njo. I was impressed beyond belief with his knowledge, expertise and caring manner when helping practice buyers and sellers. I am getting ready to transition out of practice and want my patients to be cared for in the same manner they have been for 30 years. As a Dentist I knew that Michael's level of understanding and calming expertise would allow him to guide me through this experience without a doubt. I did not hesitate for one minute before committing to work with him on this very important life change. I look forward to his guidance and have shared with my peers that any transition they plan should involve Dr. Njo.

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.

Michael and I have worked together for almost two years in pursuit of achieving my goal of practice ownership. He has coached, supported, encouraged and guided me through the process from start to finish. He has made a breeze of what could have been the most stressful time in my career, and I have confidently taken one step after another knowing I was being coached by the best. I cannot recommend Michael and the Dental Strategies team more.

I attended one of Michael Njo's seminars and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of information presented. As I am considering retiring in the next few years and selling my office, I had been feeling overwhelmed by all the details involved. However, the seminar and the book "Dental Practice Transitions Handbook" turned out to be a great starting point. Michael is perceptive of each dentist's needs and unique situation. I shared my timeline, and he adapted his approach accordingly. His organization has a team of professionals with the depth of expertise to handle every aspect of the transition. I look forward to working with Dental Transitions as I move into the next stage of my life.

I honestly would never consider working with anyone else. I give him my highest recommendation possible!

I recently sold my dental practice after 41 years. I was primarily concerned to find a dentist who matched my treatment planning philosophy and to take good care of my wonderful patients and staff. In the current environment of corporate dentistry, I knew that it would not be an easy task. Fortunately, a colleague gave me the name of Michael Njo and Dental Strategies. Because Michael is a dentist with general practice experience, he has a great understanding of the important aspects for a transfer of a practice, not only for the seller but also for the buyer. I am quite happy that I had Dr Njo to help me navigate my sale! He was very easy to work with. I am glad to report that together we found a great match for my staff and patients.

In the world of dentistry, owning your own practice is often a dream that many dentists aspire to achieve. However, the road to becoming a practice owner is not always an easy one. It requires careful planning, hard work, and the right guidance to navigate through the complex process of purchasing a dental clinic. I have always dreamed of owning my own dental practice, but I was unsure of where to begin. I attended numerous seminars and scoured online listings for dental practices on sale, but I struggled to find a clinic that met my expectations. I was overwhelmed by the amount of work and the steps required to make this dream a reality. For instance, I had no idea which attorney or lender to use, and I felt lost in the sea of information. It was during this uncertain period that I connected with Michael. He proved to be a tremendous asset, guiding me through the entire process of purchasing a dental clinic. He patiently answered all of my questions and went above and beyond to help me every step of the way. With his expertise and guidance, I was able to find a clinic that not only met my needs but exceeded my expectations. The transfer of ownership was not without its challenges, but Michael was by my side every step of the way, helping me navigate these obstacles with ease. Thanks to his support, I was able to successfully purchase a dental clinic and realize my dream of owning my own practice. I am grateful for his expertise and dedication, and I couldn't have achieved this dream without him. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and reliable guide to help you navigate the complex world of dental practice acquisition, I highly recommend Michael. He is truly an asset in helping dentists achieve their dreams.

As we were in the midst of a complex process to sell our dental practice, we encountered challenges in securing an offer that reflected the true value of our well-established family practice. Despite garnering interest from several dentists, it proved to be a daunting task. Additionally, my need for orthopedic surgery necessitated the hiring of a dentist to fill in for a six-month period during my recovery. It was during this time that we were introduced to Dental Strategies by one of the bankers assisting us. Michael promptly met with us and initiated the process. Within just two months, we were introduced to a prospective buyer. Working with someone like Michael, who is not only a former dentist but also possesses expertise that surpasses that of a traditional real estate broker, proved to be advantageous for us. His knowledge in the field allowed us to navigate through the complexities of selling our dental practice with confidence. The assistance provided by attorney Mike Treppa, and Dental Strategies played a crucial role in successfully selling our dental practice. Their expertise and guidance not only facilitated the process but also ensured that we received an offer that truly reflected the value of our well-established family practice.

"Be careful what you ask for, because I will get it for you." That is what Michael from Dental Strategies said to me at our first face-to-face meeting. That was March 2023. We were referred to Michael after our practice was on the market for a year with few inquiries. We close July 31, 2023 with full cash offer to a wonderful couple. That is testimony, thank you Michael.

Everything went fine today with the wire transfers. I am sure that you know that. Today has been super busy with the termination of 12 employees and the rehiring of the same. Before I settled down tonight, I thanked God for your hard work, kit gloves and patience with 30 years of my husbands life. This was a major decision for us and the most stressful time of our marriage. We second guessed ourselves and almost pulled out daily. It was challenging in so many ways for us. When we thought the Buyers pulled out, you and Mike Treppa closed this deal. We needed you to know that we appreciated all of the time you spent trying to make everyone happy. We watched you work the numbers in all directions and at the end of the day everyone felt like a winner! Wow! What an amazing amount of effort! We are forever grateful! Thank you so very much!

When I first started working with Michael at Dental Strategies, I wasn't sure exactly how he could help my practice. I quickly learned that the key was actively reaching out and using him as a resource, and I'm so glad I did. Over the past several years, Michael has had a profound impact on both my professional and personal life. He's been instrumental in helping me improve my communication skills and coaching me through the complexities of managing staff effectively. What sets him apart is his ability to serve as an excellent liaison between me and my team. My staff knows they can turn to him with questions or concerns, which has created a valuable support system for everyone. The results speak for themselves: Michael has significantly strengthened my relationship with my office manager and helped us achieve consistent growth year after year.

I was into year four of trying to sell my practice. I had been with three well-known brokers without success. A trusted colleague knew my situation, knew I was ready to close the doors, and implored me to call Michael. From day one the experience with Michael was different. He stated he was a transition specialist, different than a traditional broker, and his approach was based on relationships he had formed. His goal was to create a win-win situation matching a seller to the right buyer. Michael gave me hope, asked for my trust, and within two months introduced me to a terrific person, fine dentist, and a great match for my practice. Within two more months a favorable deal was on the table and soon thereafter the deal was closed and the funds were in my bank. Michael served me well. He was consistent, organized, found me a good match, and got the job done. Thank you Michael, well done sir. I am forever grateful!

Late fall of 2020 I decided to sell my general dental practice after 31 years of practicing. Through a friend I was introduced to Michael. We had an excellent initial conversation discussing what I had in mind, the reason for selling my office, details of the process, and the timeline I was looking at. What I appreciated the most about working with Michael was that he did not have a slew of individuals lined up to come and kick the tires and waste precious time and emotions. Michael presented two closely vetted potential candidates. The way Michael sets up the contracts and agreements minimizes the potential pitfalls that many buyers and sellers fall into. Michael is an expert who has developed a well-thought-out linear path when it comes to selling dental practices. He set me up with the right candidate and facilitated the sale process well. I am very happy with how things turned out.

Thank you for your call this morning. It has been great having you by my side throughout this process as a guide and mentor. The thing I am most appreciative about is how available you have been for advice. Going through the uncharted territory of buying this practice, there were always times when I would be talking with someone and did not know what the norm was, and it was great to have you in my corner to run things by as a seasoned vet. Your early advice on how to negotiate my meetings with the seller and how to deal with his broker was incredibly helpful. It was also very nice to have someone who has gone through this process so many times give me a bird's-eye view of the entire process. You made it clear at the beginning what the process was, what order everything came in, and what I would need for each step. It has been a pleasure working with you so far, and I am very happy to have worked with you and hope to continue working with you.

Thank you for helping me look for a second practice to purchase. Without you, none of this is possible. I am grateful you have come to our office and our lives.

Michael, I truly do appreciate all that you have done in the office. Last year at this same time my staff was unhappy, rude to one another and I was extremely unhappy with them. I am seeing an improvement and the mood in the office is improving, and I know that this is the direct result of your participation in the practice. You have done a great job.

I just want to say thank you for being so instrumental in the purchase of my practice. I have been so fortunate to meet you and work with you for the past almost two years. I still can't believe that we did it! Now it is going to take lots of work to get to where I want to be, but purchasing this practice is a great beginning and I owe you so much.

Wednesday's meeting was great. The staff is really coming together. It has been a journey, and one not possible without your patience and sincerity. Your ability to transmit your passion and belief in the profession and teaching people to walk that walk has made all the difference in the office. Thank you also for holding my hand as the Nino practice transferred and helping me work through the financial problems associated with that transfer. I know that the office has a long way to go and I can see the path and a time coming when I can just do dentistry.

All great teams have good players, coaches and management. We've been blessed to have you all as team members to support the work we do for our patients, but have struggled in areas of coaching and managing. That's why we've brought Michael aboard. He's helping us become better leaders and managers first, then better coaches to obtain the results we all desire. He's not just another consultant. He's different; he approaches his work differently than any other consultant or coach I've worked with.

We are looking forward to working with Michael Njo to help change the culture of the MPDG. Our retreat was the most productive in my 30 years here. I'm excited to do the hard work that will make a difference for all of us. The change needs to start with the partners, and the communication between us all needs to be open, constructive and effective. Although this will be a work in progress, I'm confident that we should see some immediate results. Thanks to all of you for your support through the years. We have a bright future.

I have been meaning to email you, and I was signing a card for the doctors and wanted to let you know how much the bonus system is appreciated. It is amazing to have all our hard work appreciated, and actually it makes it more exciting to come to work every day. I love my job here. Thanks for all your hard work!

Michael, I poured my heart into the new office and I kept telling myself it was real, but this has been a long road. I shared with a few colleagues close to me and what you did was incredible. I know there are no guarantees in life, but you can do things to become successful. I truly believe this was a win-win for everyone. Thank you for your hard work and perseverance. I am glad we will get to continue our working relationship. I have gotten to know you over the years and see you more as my friend than a broker.
