Meet this week’s guest:

Brent Anderson had the opportunity to help lead the largest dental group on their M&A team buying offices all over the United States, now having been a part of over 300 practice transitions throughout his career. Brent enjoys the relationship aspect of truly understanding what’s important to his clients and building a lifetime friendship with the people he helps navigate through exploring all the different transition options that are in the market. As Brent feels it’s important to have representation to make sure you make the right choice in your decision with your future partners as you typically will only have one chance at doing this with your dental practice.
