As a dental practice owner for 20 years, there comes a time in your career when you transition from active ownership. In the fall of 2016, I made the decision to sell my successful dental practice and transition to managing clinical director and lead dentist. I contacted Fred Heppner for a practice appraisal and engaged his services for the sale. In March of 2017, we closed the sale of the practice and a successful transition from owner to lead dentist, released me from the day to day business responsibilities that every dentist is faced with. Fred was an ethical and responsive broker for my practice. He found the perfect match for the new ownership, which allowed the remaining time in my career to be some of the most fulfilling on a professional basis. I can highly recommend Fred if any dentist is considering selling or buying a dental practice. Sincerely, Paul, D.M.D.

I have dealt with brokers of all sorts in my life. Many were little more than listers, relying on others to do the "heavy" work of actually making a sale happen. I wanted an individual who was not just a lister. I received that with Fred. His prospectus of my practice was bank ready. I followed his recommendations for my discussions with a buyer.  Though not an accountant, his review of my recent tax returns showed an accounting error that provided me a  large refund after submitting an amended return. Also not an attorney, he explained points in the contract that I should consider. He communicated well with the buyer and the lender right up until funds were wired to me from the lender. He was WELL worth his fee and I'm most happy I had his help working through what can be a very difficult process with unexpected roadblocks. THANK YOU FRED!!

I can't thank you enough for helping me through one of the most important (and interesting) decisions in my life! Your advice and support were invaluable. Thanks for being there when things got tough, for being the muscle when difficult things needed to be said, and for cracking jokes when things got tense. I can't imagine having gotten through this experience without you. You're the best!
