What your Colleagues are Saying

“Dr. Sean was an invaluable guiding voice and analyst in my first venture into practice ownership. He quickly and efficiently gathered information in a practice valuation and broke down all the key points and factors. I had further questions and ideas about how best to manage the practice and investment in my dental career. Dr. Sean had excellent insight and could frame the future direction of the practice I purchased. I highly, highly recommend his services when venturing into dental practice purchasing.”

~ Dr. Vafa Lightfoot, Buyer, Barrie, ON

~ Dr. Laura Hudgins, Seller, Peterborough, ON

~ Dr. Gerard Magne, Seller, Brighton, ON

“Sean is honest, quick to respond to questions and a real gentleman. I give Sean my highest recommendation for personalized support in the sale of your dental practice.”

~ Dr. Benjamin Krasna, Seller, Bath, ON

“Dr. Sean and his team were transparent, easy to work with and reliable every step of the way. They did all the necessary due diligence. We worked alongside with them for a VERY seamless transition. The team was professional but kept us feeling comfortable. Acquiring a practice is no easy feat. Dr. Robertson made us feel like he cared just as much as if it were him buying the office. As a buyer, you are always on high alert but there was no need for that when working with Sean.”

~ Dr. Essam Ghobrial, Buyer, Kitchener, ON

“I have been a practice owner for over a decade. I was very burned out and did not like the direction that my life was heading. I felt like I did not own my practice by my practice owned me. Working with Sean was the one of the best decisions I have ever made. He was very thorough in how he analyzed my practice. He worked diligently to ensure I got what I wanted. Now that my practice is sold I’m enjoying ‘semi-retirement’ life. Every day I practice dentistry, I feel that I’m getting paid to do a hobby. I am more motivated than ever to practice dentistry. Knowing I can leave my professional issues at the office is liberating. Sean found the right buyers in addition to selling my office, which was paramount in my decision to sell. I could not be more pleased with the results.”

~ Dr. Michael Wu, Seller, Fort Frances, ON

“Dr. Sean Robertson was pivotal in making the purchase of my practice a success. He was always available to answer all question, no matter how trivial or insignificant. He accompanied the process from start to finish, facilitating communication between all involved. He was so invested in the success of the purchase, he even followed up after the transfer was completed. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and honest. I am extremely pleased to have had such a positive experience as a buyer.”

~ Dr. Andrea Carvalho, Buyer, Mississauga, ON

“My business partner and I had the pleasure of dealing with Sean when we purchased our first practice together. We had been looking for the right practice for us for just over a year. During that time, we had the chance to see several listings through various brokerages. As you can imagine, there were numerous interested parties, but Sean took the time to answer any and all questions we had. We weren’t treated like a number. When our offer was accepted by the vendor, Sean was very proactive in introducing all parties involved and helping us build rapport. He was present and always available to answer questions during the closing phase of the transaction. We couldn’t have asked for an easier closing. Highly recommended.”

~ Dr. Rupinder Dhaliwal, Buyer, Brighton, ON

~ Dr. Douglas Hanson, Seller, Sudbury, ON

“I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Robertson and his vast knowledge pertaining to the overall business of dentistry. He is an excellent educator who presents each topic with clarity, intent and passion. Never once was I made to feel less for asking basic questions regarding any subject presented. For anyone unclear on dental finance, look no further.”

~ Dr. Roberto Amato, Southwest, ON

“The knowledge I have received from Dr. Sean Robertson gave me the tools I need to understand the dental market and business of dentistry. It has been instrumental in helping me advance toward my future goals.”

~ Dr. Joey Yu, Scarborough, ON
