Testimonials
I highly recommend The Menlo team for your practice transition. Marc Schubert, Rich Andrus, and Karli Pierson were my Menlo team. They are an outstanding team ready to tackle everything in the practice transition. The experience with them was smooth and comprehensive. Marc was above expectations as my practice broker. He handled many things before I was aware of them. Rich has handled lease negotiations for me many times in my career and continued through this transition. Karli was the point person in the office and guided me easily through the process. Menlo found and vetted the prospective buyers with great expertise. I had confidence in their secure portal for my practice and personal information. They handled so many issues during the closing process before I was even aware of them. I can’t imagine doing this on my own. Thank you Menlo Team!
Dr. J Diamond, DDS
Prescott, AZAs a first time practice buyer, it was great to work with such a helpful broker. Marc at Menlo Dental Transitions was very friendly and informative. He was available at all times to answer any questions I had. He also had a large network of bankers and lawyers to work with, if needed. I was recommended to Menlo by a colleague, and I will definitely be recommending them to others moving forward.

Page, AZThe Menlo Group delivered a win-win dental practice sale agreement, long-term lease, and a smooth transition experience! The team exceeded my expectations every step of the way! Matt Porter is the dental transition team leader. Matt has developed the top program anywhere over the past decade. His product makes the process seamless and staffs his team with the very best talent to be found! Matt creates a "value added" experience. I had the pleasure to work directly with Mark Soelberg, Karli Pierson, and commercial real estate expert Rich Andrus. We all were able to get on the same page early to achieve the goal of finding the right dentist to assume my life's work and blend well with my valued fee-for-service patients and team. This team worked tirelessly: efficient, informative, and responsive. Attention to every detail, great communicators, and wise-beyond-their years came to be my experience with each member of Matt's team! I could not be more pleased with the win-win outcome! The Menlo Group has justly earned my 5-Star recommendation! Thank You Menlo!

Dr P Parrella, DMD
Sedona, AZYour expertise, knowledge, and efforts, are so so appreciated and I thank you for all you did. I only saw the surface on all your hard work and I know how much you did behind the scenes!! This transaction would not have happened so well unless you were part of the action. Thank you for your trust, no one else would have selflessly taken care of me like you did.
Dr D Barget, DMD
Scottsdale, AZI have worked twice with Menlo group and both have been a great experience. First time, when I bought my practice. And recently that I sold it. They have a rounded group of professionals that will guide you through the whole transition making it a less stressful one. They are experts at what they do, so they were prepared to guide me through every step. I worked directly with Karli, Rich and Marc. All very nice, knowledgeable and efficient in getting things done. I worked very closely with Rich and Marc. They were amazing to work with. Very committed to work towards the best outcome for my needs. They were very kind and always prepared to answer my million questions, whether it was on a Saturday night or Sunday Morning, with a very, very patient attitude. Kudos to Marc for putting up with me! Selling a practice is very stressful, but I have to say that I felt they had my back the whole time and made it a smooth and easier transition.
Dr A Segovia, DDS
Litchfield Park, AZI had a great experience working with Marc from Menlo. He was the seller’s agent, but he was very fair, and facilitated the communication between seller and buyer effectively and efficiently. The team at Menlo made the practice transition easy and clear. I would highly recommend Menlo to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their office.
Dr J Sun, DDS
Glendale, AZMarc Schubert, from Menlo Dental Transition professionally handled the sale of my dental practice. Marc was so gracious and patient to me in my inqueries. He was able to negotiate the value of my dental practice over the asking price. There was not too small of a practice for Menlo Dental Transition. They have treated everyone with respect and enthusiasm . Above all Marc was able to find the right dentist that I’m looking for, with the same passion and love of dentistry. They are a highly recommended dental transition broker.
Dr P Zapanta, DMD
Phoenix, AZI have only great things to say about my experience working with both Marc Schubert and Karli Pierson at Menlo. Selling a practice is emotional and stressful. Menlo was professional, thorough, and supportive through the entire process. We laughed, we cried, we got the job done. I highly recommend them. If you are thinking about selling your practice and are not sure where to start, now you know. Marc and Karli, thank you both!!
Dr D Pruzansky, DMD
Glendale, AZMatt and his staff did a great job for me from the initial evaluation to the final close. The final sale price increased dramatically from our early estimates - how often does that happen? I would definitely recommend Matt Porter and Menlo to handle your transition.
Dr M Clayton, DDS
Scottsdale, AZThe Menlo team came highly recommended to me. They set themselves apart from any other brokerage in communication and finding the best fit. Matt Porter, Mark Soelberg, and Karli Pierson were very responsive and went the extra mile of finding the practice of my dreams. Their expertise and organization made this complex process as comfortable as can be. I cannot recommend Menlo enough. The Menlo team truly cares!
Dr C Chan, DDS

Dr K Mansell, DMD
Scottsdale, AZMy recent experience in working with Marc Schubert and Menlo Dental has been extraordinary! I have recently purchased my dream practice with their help, which is above and beyond service. Marc was very involved in the entire process and his hard work, great communication, timeliness, and staying on the ball made the process seamless and smooth. I would highly recommend their business to my colleagues and would continue to work with them in the future.
Dr C Fink, DDS
Scottsdale, AZWe were highly recommended to Menlo Dental Transitions to handle the sale of our Dental office and we were not disappointed. The office sale closed on November 18th and it was a very smooth process even in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Wow. What a great job they did for us. A stressful situation was made so much easier by the wonderful efforts of everyone we worked with. Menlo accompanied us to all meetings and was available at all hours to answer questions or concerns. By the end of the process, we felt we had gained a friend. We cannot say enough good about the whole process, and the great people associated with Menlo. Thank you Menlo!
Dr J Alvarez, DDS
Tucson, AZWorking with the entire Menlo team has been an awesome experience. They have been constantly available helping answer questions and moving things forward in the buying process. They have set the bar extremely high in this industry. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again for any of my future transitions. Thank you!
Dr P Stanfield, DDS
Glendale, AZMatt Porter, Mark Soelberg, and Karli Pierson went above and beyond in facilitating the purchase of my dental practice. The service they provide is exceptional. They put so much work into every Prospectus. I really appreciated the detail that they go into with the practice analysis. As the buyer, Matt and Karli made sure I was aware of all of the things that needed to happen to get to the finish line. I was in contact with other brokers during my practice search and none of them were as responsive as the team at Menlo. They do a great job representing their clients and finding the right buyer to create a smooth transition. I've been dreaming of owning a practice for several years now, and I can't thank the team at Menlo enough for making it happen.
Dr N Dockstader, DMD
Peoria, AZThe decision to sell my dental practice was a difficult one. Working with Matt Porter and his team (thank you, as well, Karli!) was a fluid and seamless transition. Matt’s knowledge and efficiency made an overwhelming task manageable. Thank you!
Dr M Green, DDS
Gilbert, AZWhen I made the decision to sell my practice, I interviewed several dental brokers. After meeting with the Menlo Group, I knew I made the right choice. Their team of professionals made the process of my transition flow smoothly from appraisal to final closing, even in the middle of a Covid pandemic. To Matt, Mark, Karli and the entire staff, I thank you and my family thanks you.
Dr T Mack, DDS
Peoria, AZI cannot say enough great things about Menlo. With the help of Mark Soelberg and the entire Menlo team, I am now a proud owner of my first dental practice! I would highly recommend Menlo because they made such a difficult and cumbersome process so easy. They have a ton of experience with dental transitions throughout the valley and were honest and punctual with everything in regards to the whole transition. Mark was helpful from the get-go: helping me find the right practice for me, walking me through the buying process, and all the behind-the-scenes administrative work. I will be recommending Menlo to everyone looking at buying a practice.
Dr K To, DMD
Glendale, AZI have worked with Menlo Transitions on the acquisition of multiple 1M+ practices as well as having them sell multiple practices for me as well, so I write this from a broad perspective. I’ve been involved in over a dozen practice transitions in my career and the experience with Menlo was fantastic, the best hands down. They made what sometimes can be a difficult process as easy as it can be, through consistent timely communication to digitally handling signatures and documents. They took care of everything and were able to bring creative solutions to the hurdles almost always encountered in the process. Their team is honest, hardworking and they have a real world understanding of the transition business. Matt and the staff (shout out to Karli) provide constant communication, good experienced advice and a clear understanding of the process. They are aware of and take care of all the small but important details, which I think is extremely important, especially for a first time buyer or seller, those not as familiar with transitions. I would highly recommend Menlo Dental Transitions to anyone looking to buy or sell a dental practice.
Dr J Pope, DDS
San Tan Valley, AZMy sincere thanks go to all the wonderful people at Menlo Transitions. Matt Porter and Karli were especially helpful to move the process along. COVID 19 definitely put some bumps and barriers in our way. But Menlo was able to overcome them, as I got multiple offers for my practice at full asking price, during a very unusual time. They also helped me to acquire a favorable lease on the dental building. After the first meeting with Matt, it was an easy decision to hire Menlo Transitions. They took the stress out of this ‘stressful process.’ 5 stars go to them. I highly recommend Menlo Transitions for anybody considering selling or buying a dental practice.
Dr B Scott, DDS
Mesa, AZIf you are looking to sell your dental practice or better yet buy a dental practice than I urge you to take the time to read this review. Especially, in these tough unsettling times you need an ethical hard working professional team on your side. Look no further, Matt Porter and his team at the Menlo Group will be by your side every step of the way. When I first interviewed the Menlo team I was impressed by their vast knowledge and their ability to answer my questions immediately and not give me the boilerplate answer, "let me get back to you on that". I did not just come upon Matt Porter, he came highly recommended by professionals in the banking industry that work with many brokers throughout the valley and nationwide. Their fiduciary was to me and not based on financial gains. After choosing Matt Porter and working with him behind the scene I was able to get to know him on a personal level. I got to learn what makes him tick. His love for his wife and children, his commitment to his church and and community and his passion to succeed. With his success comes his client's success as well. Many obstacles arise when selling a multi million dollar practice. Matt's immense business knowledge, degrees and certifications reduced my anxiety as he was able to put together a prospectus on my practice which led multiple buyers to the table wanting to purchase. Then through his experience he was able to assist us (my wife and I) in determining who would make the best doctor to pass the baton to. We were looking for a transition that not only made the most financial sense for ourselves but for our staff as well as our patients. Matt delivered multiple doctors that fit this description but one stood out from the rest and I have Matt to thank for that. After practicing for over 25 years your patients become more than a number they become an extension of your family and I wanted the best for them. I didn't want to see my dental practice go down the corporate route. Thank you Matt from the bottom of my heart. The practice was my baby, my life and because of you it will continue on.
Dr B Schwartz, DDS
Scottsdale, AZToday the sale of my 38 year practice is closed! I had attempted to sell last year without a broker and it was a disaster. First of all, the purchase price was way too low (no evaluation), the buyer was a bully and it was extremely stressful and in the end after thousands in Attorney's and Accounting fees and months of anxed it did not go through. This time I decided to just get a valuation and see. I wasn't sure I was ready to sell. It turns out the value was nearly 400K more than my previous buyer had led me to believe! Matt Porter gave me an honest valuation with all of the back up information to understand the true worth. I decided to go for it with a no risk listing. Immediately we had a full cash offer, then another as well. It was simple and stress free for me. Yes, the commission was high, but it was so worth the anxiety and energy that was wasted previously. I highly recommend Menlo Transitions and specifically Matt Porter to handle your transaction. This is a tough time in dentistry and after 38 years I feel very comfortable moving in to retirement! Thanks Matt and Karli!!
Dr C Ford, DDS
Phoenix, AZMenlo Group is fantastic to work with. They helped make the process of purchasing my dental practice so smooth and easy. They were timely and thorough in answering all my questions and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone selling or purchasing a dental practice!
Dr D Palmer, DMD
Mesa, AZGreat experience when purchasing my first office. Professional and informative. Truly cares about the transition, and finding the best match between buyer and seller. Great working with Matt and the rest of the Menlo team.
Dr S Arora, DDS
Gilbert, AZThe entire team at Menlo were awesome when it came to helping me purchase my practice. From the very beginning, sitting down Menlo and them getting to know what type of practice I was looking for, what my skill set was and where my vision was. Then getting me connected and working with Matt Porter. Matt was able to help me realize that vision and connected me with a seller where our vision and future desires for the practice, staff and patients were aligned. The whole process was smooth and everything was completed on time, with the help of the wonderful support staff that they have over at Menlo group. I would highly recommend the team over at Menlo to any future practice owner!
Dr B Standage, DMD
Scottsdale, AZWe closed on a practice in June listed by Menlo Dental Transitions. Menlo did not try to co-broker the purchase or charge a buyers fee. Once we found the practice, Menlo was instrumental in assuring the practice closed on time. Thank you Menlo Dental Transitions for helping make our dream of owning a practice come true.
Dr T Spader, DMD
Scottsdale, AZJust closed on a transaction with Menlo, they were fabulous to work with. The team are professional and very supportive. They always deliver on time with high quality. Most importantly they are good people and pleasant to work with. They stay on top the transaction from start to finish. Kudos to the entire Menlo team!!!!!
Mr M Howell
Paradise Valley, AZSelling a dental business even when you have a buyer can be stressful. There is so much to do and so much we as dentists don't know. Matt Porter and his team made my transition into retirement a breeze. I had no idea how much back and forth with attorneys, the buyer and landlord was needed. Matt was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. He was honest in his valuation and such a good communicator that I got my asking price and everything was accomplished very quickly. Throughout the process, I felt that Matt had my back. I would definitely recommend him and his company to anyone looking to buy or sell a dental business.
Dr S Gibson, DDS
Tuscon, AZI chose the Menlo Dental Transitions group because of a recommendation from my supply sales rep, and the perfect 5-star reviews they had. I couldn't have made a better choice! After a practice analysis and review with Matt Porter and the team, they took it from there and within a few months had completed a practice merger that netted me 3 times the value that a practice sale would have! The Menlo team are some of the most professional, efficient, and knowledgeable people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. We had 3 offers at our price within no time at all. There was just one glitch which I was unaware of, but their experience and savvy soon recognized the problem and took care of it, and from that point on it was all smooth sailing. I now have the money in the bank, am working just 2 days a week with none of the management headaches and stresses, and am looking forward to a full retirement at the end of the year. The timing was perfect for me to sell, and with Menlo's help I'm now in a much better, happier and care-free position. If you're looking to sell or buy a practice, I can't recommend anyone more highly than the Menlo Group.
Dr E Fritz, DDS
Mesa, AZEveryone at Menlo was very helpful through the process of recently purchasing an orthodontic practice. The selling doctor had enlisted their services, but they were extremely helpful to me as the buyer through the process as well. Everything was done electronically, and they helped guide the process every step of the way to a successful closing. The Menlo team were all awesome through the process.
Dr D Cloward, DMD
Goodyear, AZWe just acquired a practice with the team's help at Menlo. They are very friendly, knowledgeable about business of dentistry, thorough, responsive. Can't find enough adjectives. They made buying a dental practice for a non-dentist so easy. They were never pushy. I strongly recommend them for anyone buying a dental practice in Phoenix area.
M Sanghvi
Scottsdale, AZSadly, it's impossible to write a brief recommendation for Matt at Menlo Dental Transitions. My recent merger transaction using Matt and his team at Menlo made a difficult decision less stressful. Always prompt returning phone calls, knowledgeable about dentistry and merger transactions, ahead of the next step in the transaction, and most of all he helped both dentists navigate the last minute issues to end with a timely and fair merger of my 44 year old practice. Menlo Team, I appreciate your professionalism and help.
Dr J Sparks, DDS
Paradise Valley, AZMenlo rocks! I did not know there were so many things involved when selling my practice but the Menlo team made it all seem frictionless! They provided personal touch to the transition process and got it sold at full price! I can't say enough good things about how they handled the the transition. Huge thank you guys. I highly recommend this awesome team to any colleague who's considering selling his/her practice!
Dr H Nguyen, DDS

Dr J Miller, DDS
Mesa, AZThe team at Menlo is amazing to work with. They did an excellent job of communication as well as being available to meet in person. They truly went the extra mile and I was happy to have used them and will continue to in the future...WELL DONE!
Dr W Fulcher, DDS
Mesa, AZYou were able to find a qualified buyer to purchase my dental practice in less than 3 weeks. The buyer was a great match for the transition into my practice. Your associates were knowledgeable in the business and legal aspects needed to make the sale correct and fair to both parties. Your ability to navigate the landlord and lender issues was great.
Dr A Katz, DMD
Scottsdale, AZAmazing professional team! Matt was a class act all the way through and helped during our transition. Would recommend to anybody looking to sell or buy a practice.
Dr J Tobon, DDS
Peoria, AZMenlo really worked hard to make my transition go through, even with all the ups and downs that transpire with practice transitions. They were always quick to get back with me with answers to my questions. Rich Andrus was great as well giving daily updates if needed. Great experience!! Will use them again when needed. The rest of the Menlo team were great as well. Thanks!!!
Dr D Chugg, DMD
Peoria, AZI recently retired and cannot say enough nice things about the Menlo Group. When I decided to sell my practice, I scheduled interviews with two agencies and Matt Porter of Menlo was the first scheduled. It was against my nature, but after meeting with Matt, I cancelled the other meeting. I felt I was in good hands and never once regretted anything about the business relationship I entered into. Everyone at Menlo bent over backwards to sell my practice. There were multiple hurdles specific to my business, and I can say with all sincerity that I would hire them again in a heartbeat! Anyone considering this very important decision is welcome to contact me personally. Many, many thanks for working so hard for me, so that I can "work" hard at playing every day! Thank you Matt!
Dr C Thompson, DDS
Peoria, AZWhere do I begin.... Matt and Kali are simply amazing! They negotiated all the details, worked day and night, were super responsive, and got everything and more I could have asked for! Throughout the entire process they worked diligently and took away all of my stress. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Simply put, they can’t be matched! Thanks for everything
Dr L Jacobsen, DDS
Scottsdale, AZWe cannot thank Matt Porter and his wonderful team at Menlo Dental Transitions enough for the wonderful experience they gave us in the sale of our practice. They are knowledgeable about every aspect of the practice, providing us with all the information we needed to have the process move along smoothly. We appreciated their care and concern for us but also for the buyers' well being. We also valued the help and information we received from Rich Andrus regarding the real estate portion of the deal. Overall, this was a very positive experience and we have been singing their praises to anyone that will listen to us. We have recommended them to several colleagues already.
Dr R Hubrich, DDS & Dr N Hubrich, DMD
Tucson, AZThe team at Menlo are top notch. I purchased a practice that they had listed. They made the whole process seamless with the acquisition and transition phases. Rich, as always, has helped me multiple times with negotiating lease agreements and has once again achieved everything I was looking for in this new agreement. Thank you Menlo team!
Dr P Sandhu, DDS
Scottsdale, AZThe entire Menlo team were the best to work with in my practice sale. They are people of integrity and work tirelessly to make sure the sell is completed timely and professionally. They were very thorough as well with all of their reports, which really helps both the buyer and seller. I recommend them to everyone I meet that is looking to buy or sell a practice.
Dr D Dastrup, DDS
Scottsdale, AZThank you Matt and your team at Menlo for a wonderful purchasing experience of an existing dental practice! Matt was incredibly helpful throughout the buying process. He was easily accessible, honest, and helped keep me on track throughout the overwhelming process of buying a practice. Also, thank you Kali for all your hard work! Kali is incredibly sweet and very prompt when I needed administrative help throughout this process. I would highly recommend using Menlo! If I acquire another practice in the future, Menlo will be my first choice.
Dr J Rasmussen, DMD
Tucson, AZMatt and his awesome team at Menlo group were the best and gave phenomenal customer service. Matt made selling my Office pain free and effortless. His professionalism and friendship helped my wife and I sell our office without a hitch. The Menlo group were always available to answer any questions. We built our office from scratch and it was very hard to let go, but Matt found people who shared our core values and made it a great fit. I would recommend Matt, and his awesome team to anyone looking for selling or buying a dental office.
Dr S Nigam, DMD
Scottsdale, AZMatt and his team made buying my first practice easy and painless. They were able to direct me during each step of the process and put me in contact with the necessary people for anything for which I wasn't already prepared for. I have dealt with a lot of businesses and people during my tenure in dentistry and Matt and his team are at the top for the hardest working and most prompt.
Dr J Kirch, DDS
Mesa, AZMenlo group was hired by the seller of the practice my wife and I recently purchased. My interaction as the purchaser was limited as they were working more with the seller, but the experience was a very positive one. Matt was very helpful in reaching out to me to help me understand the process and answer any questions that I had about various documents. Kali was also very responsive through email in providing anything that was necessary with the actual paperwork. The transition was very smooth and relatively stress free! Matt and Kali were both professional, encouraging, and friendly throughout the entire process.
Dr B Tolman, DMD
Glendale, AZI could not sing more praises about Matt, Rich, and the gang. I sold my practice through them and I had a great experience. I have worked with other brokers in the past for buying and selling my practice and I can honestly say that Menlo made it so easy for me compared to the others. It is already stressful going through a transition and having a knowledgeable broker you can trust can make all the difference. I am confident I made the right choice in working with Menlo Dental Transitions.
Dr L Tang, DDS
Glendale, AZMatt Porter at Menlo Dental Transitions helped me recently in the selling of my dental practice. I was extremely pleased on how the whole process was handled from the beginning to the end. Matt and Menlo Dental Transitions are first-rate in everything they did in guiding the sale. He does what he says he's going to do in a prompt fashion. He did this in every aspect of the transaction. And he's very up-front and honest regarding all the details. If 10 stars were available, I would give him 10.
Dr T Lawson, DDS
Scottsdale, AZAs a buyer working with Menlo, I felt protected and all my concerns were addressed. I also found the Menlo team to be very professional and knowledgeable in their field. Many thanks and hope we can do more business in the near future.
Dr A Setoodeh, DDS
Phoenix, AZAs a recent graduate I faced a lot of push back from several different practice brokers across the country. Most wanted nothing to do with me until I had more experience. Matt was very welcoming from the beginning and made the process very smooth - better than I could have imagined. Kali and Matt were both easily accessible throughout the deal and were very pleasant to work with.
Dr. M Hill, DDS
Sedona, AZWe recently were able to transition our dental practice with Menlo. The practice had been listed for a year and a half with another broker and we had very little activity and the prospects that were brought to us were not suitable candidates. Matt Porter had a candidate for us in thirty days which was amazing due to the large number of potential buyers that contacts Menlo. What was even more amazing was the attention to detail, the sheer professionalism and experience that came to light as the transition process unfolded. I have bought and sold several dental practices and Menlo Dental Transitions is far and above the best broker anywhere. When you make a decision to sell a practice, it is wrought with emotion and difficulties. Matt Porter and Kali made it smooth and seamless. I can't begin to say enough. They are the best. Don't even consider hiring anyone else! Dr. Wachter
Dr. K Wachter, DDS
Sedona, AZI would not hesitate engaging Menlo Dental Transitions and Matt Porter on a dental practice transition. I will be recommending him to our dental community for any acquisition or sale needs. My experience with him was top notch and second to none. He is fair, honest, responsive and professional; truly a pleasure to work with. Matt Porter and Menlo Dental Transitions have raised the bar and taken dental brokering to the next level.
Dr. E Kerbs, DDS
Gilbert, AZI worked with Matt Porter in my transition into a dental partnership. Matt’s expertise and support was invaluable throughout the process. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has everyone's best interests in mind to direct a smooth transition. I particularly appreciated his laid-back approach. Matt made the process less stressful than I expected it to be, and I am grateful for his help and guidance in this endeavor. I strongly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a transition in the dental field.
Dr P Kogan, DDS
Scottsdale, AZWe are grateful for Matt Porter, who worked with us since last year to help us find this practice, and for all the hoops he had to jump through to help complete the transition. What a ride. His work ethic is inspirational. We also appreciate the countless meetings and hours Menlo spent with us at the practice. It was always a pleasure and a calming experience meeting them on-site. Thank you to Kali, for all the on-point communication. Her reliability was unmatched throughout the process and we appreciate the amazing support towards the end, especially the rapid turnarounds allowing us to close in a timely manner. Again - thank you to Menlo Dental Transitions for the help. As much of a learning experience this was, we are excited to be able to call this practice our own and look forward to serving our patients.
Dr H Kaur, DDS & S Nagi
Ahwatukee, AZI recently used Matt Porter from Menlo Dental Transitions to assist with the sale of my Endodontic practice. In addition to being a pleasure to work with, Matt was very knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects of the sale including finance, real estate, contracts, and negotiations. To start the process off, Matt conducted a very thorough and easy-to-understand appraisal. Having that accurate appraisal was invaluable during the transition. Matt and his assistant, Kali, were very professional, always accessible, and more than willing to help with anything throughout the process. It was comforting to know Matt would give sound, ethical advice and Kali would always follow through in a timely manner. I had full confidence Matt had my best interests in mind, while also being thoughtful and reasonable to all involved parties. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Menlo Dental for any dental practice transition. Steve Sluyk, DDS
Dr S Sluyk, DDS
Scottsdale, AZWords cannot describe the accomplishment of an easy transition of my practice to a new dentist, and it is all because of Matt Porter. He facilitated the entire process of my practice sale with ease, and helped me picked a new Dentist that would ensure the continued success of the practice. The entire process was a delight, and I am very satisfied knowing that my patients will be cared for. I couldn’t be happier, and I owe that all to Menlo Dental Transitions.
Dr F Lau, DDS
Phoenix, AZI initially met with the Menlo group when it was time for me to renew my lease. As we talked about long term plans, they presented an option for me to capitalize on the goodwill I built, sell the practice, and continue to do dentistry without the hassle of managing the business. The Menlo team worked hard to find a local dentist who was qualified and a good fit. The new owner partnered with me and allowed me to focus on patient care and dentistry. I’m now producing more than I did when I owned the practice, all without the headache and hassle of ownership. Thank you to the Menlo team for taking the time to learn my long terms goals, matching me with a good buyer and helping me transition to the next phase of my career.
Dr D Sewright, DDS
Phoenix, AZLast fall I made the decision to sell my practice to pursue an unanticipated opportunity to work with my father and brother in another practice. I called Matt Porter at Menlo Group in a panic, just hours after learning about the opportunity. Matt explained that all I had to do was gather some practice information for him and he would take care of the rest. Matt delivered on his promise! A very short time later he showed my practice to four dentists and within 48 hours he had three full price offers in my hands from three fully qualified buyers. My practice sold for top dollar AND I was able to keep my accounts receivable. Matt was there 24/7 to answer my panicked calls and emails over the next few weeks and he made every aspect of the transition to the new dentist seamless. Most importantly, Matt cared about selecting a new dentist that was the perfect fit to take over the practice and patient care AND was able to keep this entire sale confidential until we closed with the buyer, which was very important to me. The Menlo Group exceeded my expectations and they were a pleasure to work with.

Queen Creek, AZI recently purchased a practice through Menlo Dental Transitions, and my experience with this company was very rewarding. Their high level of communication, honesty, and hard work gave me confidence in the process, and helped foster a productive atmosphere for the transition with the previous owner. I would highly recommend the team at Menlo Dental Transitions, and I look forward to working with them in the future.

Kingman, AZI had the great opportunity to work with Menlo Dental Transitions for a recent practice sale. From the beginning of our relationship, Matt Porter and his team were clear about the process and the expectation for my unique practice. They made an effort to think outside the box when it came to advertising and finding potential buyers, and it gave me great confidence to know that Matt, Rich, and Kali had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend the team at Menlo Dental Transitions to anyone looking for a dental transition.

Kingman, AZI have worked with the Menlo Group on 2 different occasions over the past few years and have come to know and trust their team as educated, reliable, creative, thoughtful and extremely professional. The team at Menlo works together like a championship sports team, each executing his or her part of the project efficiently and effectively with impeccable attention to detail. They also become a genuine extension of your own team during the process. They are fair, wise, business-minded individuals who work tirelessly to find the best solution to the variety of challenges that come up along the way. I have worked with other transition teams in the area over the years and can sincerely say that the Menlo Group is by far the most professional organization. I will count on this GREAT team for my future practice transition needs. They have earned my strongest recommendation.
Dr A Adkins, DDS
Scottsdale, AZWhen my wife and I began our search for a practice, we met with several practice brokers in the area. Matt Porter is by far the most professional and organized broker out there. He communicated well and always made us feel like we were his only client. It turns out that he had 6 other practice transitions closing within 30 days of ours! We were astonished. Matt, Kali, and Rich worked together to make the process as easy on us as possible. This is a good group to have on your side.
Dr J Musselman, DMD
Phoenix, AZI highly recommend the team at Menlo. I had only been out of school for a few years, and Matt Porter was extremely helpful. Not only did he take the time to explain everything to me, but he took on many of the tasks that were needed to complete the purchase. I'm very grateful for his help during the whole process. I will continue to use him and his team in all of my future practice endeavors.
Dr M Dickerson, DMD
Tempe, AZI started my search for dental practice over a year ago, and in that time met with many of the brokers and dental reps in town. What struck me about Matt, was how open and honest he was with me. He wanted to make sure I found the right practice fit for me and my personality, and wasn't about getting an office sold to me ASAP. He was honest with me the entire time during my search, and when the opportunity to buy the office I am at now came up, I knew that Matt had my best interest in mind. Not only did he match me with a fantastic office, he made sure to pay close attention to match personalities between the selling doctor and I. An office transition can be a big deal for both staff and patients, and to have a new doctor come in with the same mindset, personality and character as the selling doctor can be hugely beneficial. The process of buying the office is a long and often new experience for many of us, as it was for me as a first time buyer. Both Matt and Kali were AMAZING and were there for my wife and I whenever we needed help, guidance or recommendations. Whether by phone call, email, or text message, the promptness of both Matt and Kali was incredibly helpful - especially when working in a time sensitive situation like an office transition. I know technically Matt and Menlo represent the seller, but to be totally honest, it really felt as if they were there representing my wife and I as well. I was incredibly impressed with the way they do work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their practice. They are incredibly professional while at the same time providing a stress free resource in the stressful world that can be dentistry and dental transitions. Menlo has helped a very good friend of mine purchase several practices and now I can say they have helped me as well, and I couldn't be happier with the decision to go to Menlo. Thank you both Matt and Kali.

Queen Creek, AZOver my career, I have bought and sold many dental offices. My past experiences with practice sales people were less than enjoyable and I felt taken advantage of and treated most unfairly. My last experience in buying an office was very recent. Matt Porter and his group were very involved in the transaction, and they were truly a breath of fresh air. Knowledgeable, honest and hard working, they were easy to contact and to speak with. To sum it up, I would highly recommend Matt Porter to sellers and buyers.
Dr R Jafari, DMD
Phoenix, AZI had the pleasure of working with Matt Porter and his amazing team at Menlo for a recent practice transition. This transition involved a high-end, very large multi-doctor practice. With so many moving parts, the transition could have been incredibly complex and difficult. However, Matt’s unrelenting hard work, dedication and attention to detail made the process a breeze. Matt is a bright, sharp mind and his uncompromising commitment to ethics was refreshing. Matt certainly knows business, but he also knows people. He took particular attention to maintain a positive relationship between buyer and seller, while working seamlessly with the banks, lawyers, and the many others involved. In the end, we closed on-time and with no surprises. As the saying goes, if you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur. If you would like to save yourself time and unnecessary heartache, I would highly-recommend Matt Porter and his team at Menlo.

Scottsdale, AZI recently worked with Menlo Transitions on the acquisition of a 1M+ practice. I’ve purchased almost a dozen practices in my career and the experience with Menlo was fantastic. They made the process as easy as possible, by allowing us to digitally sign and share documents. They took care of everything and were able to bring creative solutions to the hurdles that we encountered. The group was honest, hardworking and have a real knowledge of the transition business. Matt and the staff provided constant communication, clear understanding of the process and took care of all the small but important details. I would highly recommend Menlo Dental Transitions to anyone looking to buy or sell a dental practice.
Dr J Pope, DDS
Maricopa, AZMatt and Kali at Menlo Dental Transitions have been great to work with. They did an appraisal for us and the process was very smooth. The way Matt presents practice information is by far the best I have seen. Information is very consistent and easy to understand. I recommend him to anyone and look forward to working with Menlo Dental Transitions in the future.
Dr J Nelson, DDS
Tempe, AZI am so glad I worked with Menlo on the purchase of my Dental Practice. This was my first time purchasing a practice and Matt was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process. Kali, his assistant was also very helpful and they both were very quick at getting me necessary information. They really went above and beyond to make this process as smooth as possible. I also purchased real estate through Menlo, and Rich and his team were just as professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone, buying or selling, to use Menlo!
Dr D Sluyk, DDS
Scottsdale, AZMatt was amazing. He worked especially hard to get the best price for my practice and to ensure that that the closing went as planned. It wasn't all that easy but he took care of everything. He and his staff worked overtime to make our transition as painless as possible. Great staff, great company. Highly recommended.
Dr B Reed, DDS
Scottsdale, AZI have now purchased 3 dental practices, the most recent one with Matt Porter and the Menlo group. I can tell you that this was as smooth and as painless as a dental transition can possibly go. What I appreciated the most about working with Matt was that there were absolutely no "smoke and mirrors". Every single aspect of the transition process was very straight forward and transparent. Throughout the whole process I was very impressed with how responsive Matt and Kali were in answering my questions and getting information back and forth between the seller, myself, and the bank. Matt was also very proactive at addressing concerns before they could become an issue. For me this was a terrific experience and I would recommend the Menlo Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a practice. James Heaton DDS, Smiles of Chandler

Chandler, AZWe had a wonderful experience working with the Matt Porter and Kali Solomon at Menlo Dental Transitions. As this was our first time purchasing a dental practice to merge with our current practice, we had a lot of questions and concerns. Both Matt and Kali were very helpful in answering our questions and also being concerned in creating a "Win-Win" situation for both the seller and us as the buyer. Matt made himself available in person and also over the phone to meet or answer any and all questions and concerns I had. I can't say enough good things about Menlo Dental Transitions and would highly recommend them to other dentists looking to purchase an additional practice or merge another practice with their current.

Chandler, AZIt is our absolute pleasure to have an opportunity to recommend Matt Porter and Menlo Dental Transitions, a truly exceptional broker. I have worked with Matt and the Menlo Team for our recent search of a dental practice in the Valley. It is rare in this day to find a person with impeccable work ethic and honesty, someone who possesses a sincere desire to strive and deliver exactly what her clients are searching for. Matt provides the highest quality of service, is extremely well versed in the dental practice and real estate industry, and brings remarkable knowledge of the Phoenix market. During our extensive search, Matt diligently pursued to present us with opportunities always maintaining an enthusiastic approach. Matt was extraordinary in his efforts negotiating issues between all parties; brokers and bankers, all the while maintaining focus to ensure our best interest. While Phoenix has several Brokers to choose from, we found Matt to be a delight to work with and a professional in every step of the process. Whether buying or selling a dental practice, I would highly recommend Matt and Menlo Dental Transition. I look forward to working with Matt for many years to come!

Tempe, AZWhen I decided to sell my practice I interviewed a couple of brokers and I chose Matt Porter. It was the best decision! He mapped out how he thought the sale would go and it went exactly as he had projected. He knew of a few prospective buyers and the practice was sold as soon as it went on the open market. He was professional and prompt and made the sale smooth. I could not have asked for a better experience. To say I recommend him and his team is an understatement. If you are selling your dental practice do yourself a favor and call Matt Porter.
Dr G Ten Eyck, DDS
Tempe, AZAfter working with two other brokers who were unsuccessful, I hired Menlo Dental Transitions for my practice transition. Facing a lease expiration deadline of less than 3 months, Matt was able to list and close the deal in only 8 weeks. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism of the entire Menlo team. Thank you Matt and Kali, for paying attention to all the little details that needed to be done. The experience, though stressful, was an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Menlo Dental Transitions.
Dr F Osman, DMD
Chandler, AZI initially tried listing my practice with another broker but their paperwork was cumbersome and lengthy. They continually came back for more information. Menlo Dental Transitions and Matt's team streamlined the process and made it much easier. From initiation to signed contract and close was only 8 weeks. Matt was there post sale to handle any issues that occurred. I highly recommend Menlo Dental Transitions and Matt Porter for your practice transition needs.
Dr F King, DDS
Mesa, AZThanks for all your help in making this a smooth transition process. I am looking forward to spending some time with Dr. Davis before he moves on to his next adventure. You all helped get everyone to a comfortable place.

Dr F Castano, DMD
Surprise, AZThank you Menlo Group for making the recent purchase of my dental practice a smooth transition. I appreciated the continual communication and updates throughout the process with Kali and the rest of your staff. Matt's knowledge of dental practice needs is second to none. He went above and beyond expectations to ensure that their was a clear understanding all of the details involved in the process. Coming into the transition without a broker and treated by Menlo as though I was one of their clients meant a great deal to me. I will definitely be referring all my colleagues who may be looking to sell or buy a practice to Menlo.
Dr S Torgerson, DMD
Queen Creek, AZI cannot express enough how working with Menlo Dental Transitions was a great experience. Matt and Rich were very professional, understanding, and have a real knowledge for their business. Their suggestions and guidance made working with them a true pleasure. I would recommend them to anyone. They are worth a call and see for yourself.
Dr L Weinstein, DMD
Scottsdale, AZAs you can surmise, selling a practice can be one of the most stressful moments in your dental career. Menlo Dental Transitions made the transition an enjoyable experience. From the very beginning, Matt listened to my needs, wants, and concerns. He worked diligently to fulfill my criteria and find the perfect match for my practice. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism of the entire Menlo group. Their attention to detail relieved me of much stress. Thank you Matt, Tanner, and Kali for paying attention to all the little details that needed to be done. The experience, though stressful, was an enjoyable experience.

Dr L Casillas, DDS
Chandler, AZIt’s my pleasure to recommend the Menlo Dental Transitions Team. We actually began the process of selling my practice about a year in advance with Menlo’s Rich Andrus who designed our lease extension to facilitate and prepare the landlord for the eventual sale of the practice. When the time came to sell, we met with Matt Porter, who led the entire sales process. From listing to close, the journey was unbelievably smooth thanks to Matt’s great preparation, knowledge of the market and extensive network of contacts and potential buyers. We are extremely pleased and surprised to have completed this highly emotional and stressful transaction within just a few months. It could not have happened without the hard work, expertise, experience and organization of Matt and his team.
Dr J Mark, DMD
Phoenix, AZIf you want to buy or sell a practice, Menlo Dental Transitions is the way to go. My recent experience in buying a practice through them was outstanding. Matt Porter’s efficiency, dedication, and knowledge were unbelievable throughout the whole process. His resources for financing, insurance and real estate were excellent. Rich Andrus handled the leasing process both professionally and efficiently, which made it very easy for me. Their evaluation of a practice is very honest and fair for both the buyer and the seller—a “win-win” philosophy. I highly recommend the Menlo team for any dental transition scenarios. Thank you, Matt, for the exceptional and very personal service.
Dr M Papademetriou, DMD, MS
Phoenix, AZThe buying or selling of a dental practice can be stressful. Both parties come to the table and want to make sure they are getting the best deal possible. This is difficult to accomplish but somehow Menlo Transitions finds a way to pull it off. I have purchased or started 6 dental practices in the last 3 years and Menlo Transitions has been a part of every transaction because they are the only ones I trust. I recently sold a practice because I couldn’t give it the attention it deserved and they brought me a qualified buyer that will take good care of my patients and transition things smoothly. When issues came up in the transition, they stepped in and made sure both parties were treated fairly, which allows me to maintain a great long term relationship with the buyer. Matt, Tanner, and Rich have made a huge impact on the success of my business and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.
Dr B Harris, DDS
Chandler, AZMenlo Dental Transitions was fantastic in helping sell our dental practice. Matt is very dedicated and helped us work through every part of the process. He did everything in his power to help create a win-win solution and worked hard to see it through to completion. Thank you for expediting the sale of our dental practice so quickly. Your attention to detail and advice helped up to prepare for the sale and we appreciate all you did to get the practice sold in less than a month!
Dr O Nouri, DMD
Chandler, AZMenlo Dental Transitions provides a knowledgeable, tailored strategy to help you achieve your goals as a dentist. In my experience as both a buyer and seller, it is clear that Menlo’s detailed processes and established systems help simplify a complex transaction. Their value-added services and business acumen help to realize the full potential of a practice. More importantly, having worked with Matt for over a decade, the most important facet of his service is his honesty, integrity and transparency.
Dr R. Hada, DDS
My experience with the Menlo Group was extraordinary! The process of navigating through the sale of my practice couldn’t have been easier. The Menlo experts took the time to understand my needs and concerns and took immediate ownership of the process. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the professional and ethical manner in which my representative, Rich Andrus, located a buyer, managed the transition, and expedited all the necessary steps to complete the transaction. My advice is if you want it done – and want it done right – go with the Menlo team! Thank you Rich, and everyone at the Menlo Group – your service was exceptional and very much appreciated.
