Greg Whitmer was every bit the professional. Concerned, involved and overwhelming helpful. He made, for me, a difficult transaction, much more palatable. I knew he would always be there to smooth out the difficult times. For me, this transaction was emotionally and physically difficult…… Greg eased “my pain”.

Stratford, CTWorking with Greg and his team at Henry Schein Dental Practice Transitions made the process of selling my practice smooth and stress-free. His extensive knowledge of the sales process, paired with deep insights into the industry, ensured that every step of the sale was handled well. Greg’s strong relationships with the banking sector were instrumental in securing the necessary financing, which was critical in closing the sale. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner for this important transition. I highly recommend Greg to anyone looking to buy or sell a dental practice!

Merrimack, NHI worked with Greg for a full year. We began with a practice valuation. The number was larger than I had assumed. He then explained the likely time line and difficulty getting someone to Vermont. Greg’s advice was spot on as we reduced the possible candidates. He had previous experience with the eventual buyer. This helped me feel comfortable going with this group. As the closing date got closer, Greg was calm and reassuring. He also recommended a lawyer who was experienced in dental transactions, that too made things easier. The closing finally happened after some delays caused by the buyers bank. The closing was easy after that. I’m thrilled to be retired. I feel that my practice is in great hands in large part due to Greg Whitmer.

Gloucester, MAI want to thank my broker, Greg Whitmer, for doing a great job representing me throughout my journey selling my dental practice. He was recommended by a colleague and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He kept me informed with progress along the way. Greg also maintained good relationship with a potential buyer to keep negotiates moving along. He listened to my concerns and wasn’t afraid to give his opinions. Because of his experience he was able to give me an excellent recommendation of a law firm to represent me. I would highly recommend Greg to represent you.

Manchester, CTGreg did a terrific job transitioning my practice. He went out of his way to spend time with me, visiting my office multiple times, and always communicated. I had two poor experiences with other brokers, but Greg was nothing short of fantastic.

New Milford, CTI had a very small general practice with 3 ops, 1 assistant & 1 hygienist/ business manager . Small town New England. No room to expand either. I had been trying to sell the practice for a few years with other practice brokers to no avail. I asked an old friend @ Henry Schein if he could recommend anyone & he told me to contact Greg Whitmer. I can’t say enough about Greg & the attention he gave me despite knowing it was a small practice & would be difficult to find a buyer for. After he was able to sell it for me, he himself told me this was a tough one! Greg went above & beyond to help me sell & get me on my way to retirement after running the practice for over 45 years. All I can say to any dentist looking to sell his or her practice is call Greg Whitmer. That is the best decision you will ever make!

Greenwich, CTI recently sold my dental office with the help of Henry Schein Dental Practice Transitions and I couldn’t be happier. My consultant, Greg Whitmer was absolutely fantastic! He walked me through every step, explained every detail, and made a complex process very smooth and easy. His knowledge of the banking industry was priceless. He understands every aspect of the transition process and kept us on schedule by providing ample warnings of upcoming steps, and helped me find the information I needed to be prepared for those steps. I think I would still be trying to collect reports if it weren’t for Greg! In short, my practice transition was a great experience. I would recommend Greg Whitmer and the team from Henry Schein to anyone looking to buy or sell a dental practice!

Bethel, CTGreg Whitmer coordinated every aspect of my practice transition perfectly. His knowledge and organizational skills are second to none. Most importantly, his managing the transition allowed me to practice, and see my patients “as per usual”, I was free from most of the logistics. There are many moving parts with all this and they were handled very well. All accounting and legal matters were properly structured as Greg guided us through every part of the process. We couldn’t have done this without him. Thank you, Greg and Henry Schein.

West Hartford, CTI highly recommend Greg Whitmer from Henry Schein Professional Practice Transitions if you are selling your practice. His knowledge made the entire process run smoothly.

Brookfield, CTMy experience with Greg Whitmer was extremely positive. He had an appropriate response to the issues that inevitably arise during a practice transition. Greg was able to guide both parties to a mutually agreeable conclusion. His background in banking proved to be a valuable asset. He was organized and kept the process moving forward soliciting the needed documents as needed.
Yuri Ostapiuk, D.M.D. – Seller
Wethersfield, CTThe whole team did an excellent job from valuing the practice to working on the closing. The process took a while. Having Greg Whitmer set up all the meetings was the best way to sell a practice. All I had to do was be at the office to show clients the practice and condo. I would not have been able to do this alone, especially figuring out the selling price!
Dr. George Caye – Seller
Manchester, CTI would like to express my complete satisfaction with the sale of my dental practice. My consultant, Greg Whitmer, was both understanding and skilled at leading me through all the necessary steps. Mine was not an easy practice to sell – an older one with high overhead and declining production. Greg found the perfect fit, merging mine with another practice with similar demographics. Truthfully I had low expectations about how much I would receive from the sale and how well the transfer of patients would go. Both exceeded my expectations. A generous cash sale and an extremely easy transition for me and my patients. I can even work one day a week if I choose. I want to thank Greg for his positive attitude, negotiating skills, and understanding of my emotions throughout the process. Thank you.

Worcester, MAI picked the worst time to start a practice when interest rates were 18%, and as it turned out, the worst time to sell a practice, when we closed due to COVID for 3 months. Even when we came back, it was part-time. That is when the practice went up for sale. Greg Whitmer was great. He kept in contact with me. I always knew what was happening and who was interested in the practice. Due to the pandemic, the banks were slow to approve buyers. We waited out the worst of the financial effect of the pandemic and Greg was finally able to match a very good buyer for my practice. It’s been 3 months since the sale and I am very grateful to Greg for getting me into retirement.

Greg led me through a highly detailed process, made sure the right doctor was a good match for the practice, and assisted me in the seamless transition.

He made a very difficult decision to transfer ownership easy, with minimum stress and angst. He was a calming force, and I would choose him again to accomplish the successful transition of my practice.
