After having met with four prominent practice transition consultants, I was not convinced that they had a true concept of personal circumstances. Then I decided to call “the dentist” who wrote the most successful book on dentistry published. It covers transition and/or growth of your practice. Dr. David Griggs is fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, caring and patient. David Griggs definitely cares for his clients and their needs. He is the best. After my forty-five years in dentistry, believe me when I say you’ll be lucky if he accepts you as a client.

The transition is running very smoothly and I am enjoying a much more relaxed work environment. The negotiations and sale went very well, beyond my expectations. My only regret is that I did not acquire your services sooner. Thank you for being there when I needed you.

Dr. Griggs was able to coordinate our philosophy and to provide a structure so that both parties felt we could move in the right direction. Basically, Dr. Griggs established a balance for the both of us to grow the association and each of us felt that we got a win-win end result.
