Alisa Shoaf

I had a wonderful experience with my purchase transition. Alisa Shoaf was nothing but excellent. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you for helping make my practice purchase dreams come true.

I initially contacted Henry Schein for a practice valuation and I soon realized there was more to selling a practice than I imagined, even when I already had a buyer. Alisa Shoaf was my Schein practice transition representative. Her experience and competence in managing the transition were both obvious and much appreciated. She kept me informed throughout the process and was always available to answer any questions I had. She even made two trips to North Carolina for in-person meetings. Most important, while she dealt with lenders, attorneys and CPAs, I was able to focus on practicing dentistry right up to the day of the sale. I highly recommend Alisa and Henry Schein for anyone transitioning a practice.

The overall process was stressful to me having never gone through anything like this, a transition, but Alisa made things go smoothly thus eliminating much of the stress. She would always return calls, texts at any time on short notice relieving some of the stress. She was great. She had to, at times, push the buyer and his attorney to meet deadlines and she was very good at that. Also, she found an excellent transition attorney for me. I think Alisa made the transition as painless as possible. I would rank Henry Schein and Alisa at the top of Transition Specialists.

Selling my dental practice after 47 years of building it was indeed a life changing event. It had the potential of sending me into depression due to the highs and lows that occurred almost daily as I was going through the process. What saved me was the guidance and professional attention given to my sale by Alisa Shoaf representing Henry Schein Transitions. She was at all times upbeat and even tempered which offset the mood swings I was going through. Because of Alisa, I was able to get what I thought was a fair sale for the practice under my terms. But more importantly, she has become a good friend. I would highly recommend Alisa for anyone contemplating the sale of their dental practice. I am happy to share my experience with anyone contemplating listing their practice with Henry Schein Transitions and Alisa Shoaf.

Simply put, Alisa Shoaf is effective. I can't imagine how difficult my recent purchase would have been without her diligent attention to every detail. Her knowledge is impressive and her resources were invaluable. From financing to legal, I never missed a beat and we closed this deal well within my desired timeframe. I'm thankful for the Henry Schein Dental Practice Transitions group, but I am super grateful for Alisa. I may not be a big part of her success story, but her efforts will be a big part of mine. Thank you, Alisa.

I would highly recommend the Henry Schein Practice Transitions Group to handle your practice sale and transition. I initially tried to list my practice myself and then tried with an online service that utilizes electronic questionnaires as its sole method of identifying candidates. What I came to realize was that it is difficult to attract good candidates without an established broker and personalized service. The sale/transition process was much more complicated than I realized and just got more complicated the closer we got to closing. My broker agent, Alisa Shoaf, was able to orchestrate banks, three attorneys, and the buyer and seller to successfully bring this transaction to the table on time. I would say that it would have been extremely difficult if not impossible to navigate the legal issues and challenging to satisfy the sellers financial institution without professional brokerage guidance. Even though Alisa was located three hours away she would not hesitate to make the trip for a one-day meeting. She did so many times during the process in order to add the personalized service that a practice transition needs and deserves.

I purchased my first practice near the end of 2022 in Pensacola Florida. Alisa Shoaf was the broker representing the practice. She did a great job communicating with the seller and getting me everything I needed to complete the bank financing as well as the purchase agreement. The transaction went really smoothly! She was very helpful throughout the process. I would recommend Alisa if you are looking to buy or sell a practice in north Florida!

I appreciate Alisa Shoaf's help with selling my dental practice! She was professional & helped with some difficult dealings with a certain landlord. Thanks!

I am honored to share my heartfelt gratitude for Alisa Shoaf, and the incredible support she provided in helping me in the sell of my husband’s dental practice. After building his practice for over 51 years my husband passed away unexpectedly. This was not just a business transaction for us. It was an emotional journey. Our patients have been like family, and finding the right person to continue their care was our highest priority. From the very beginning Alisa understood that. She took me by the hand and guided me through this overwhelming process. Her thoughtfulness, kindness, and genuine care stood out in every conversation. She took the time to listen to my concerns and answered every question, no matter the time of day. She truly cared about finding a new owner who would honor the values we built our practice on. Beyond her professionalism, what truly set Alisa apart was her compassion. She knew how much this practice meant to us and treated the entire process with the care and respect it deserved. Selling a practice is not just about financial transactions. It’s about the people and the legacy left behind. She recognized that and worked tirelessly to ensure that our patients and staff would be well cared for moving forward. There were moments of uncertainty, but she was always there with encouragement and guidance. Thanks to Alisa Shoaf, we found the perfect home for our practice, and I can rest easy knowing that our patients, are in great hands. I will always be grateful for her dedication, patience, and expertise.
