What our clients are saying…

I would like to thank you personally for your specialist service and professional advice throughout the process of this purchase.

Buying a limited company from a large corporate in a fairly short period of time, was not an easy task but you made an excellent positive impact on both parties to proceed smoothly.

Thank you very much.

Client from Hilsea

Dear Louise,

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your assistance and for keeping me updated with the latest practices throughout. Your support has been invaluable, and truly appreciated.

At this time, I have decided not to make an offer for the practice contract we've been considering. However, I wanted to convey my gratitude for your guidance and diligence throughout this process.

Looking ahead, I remain to explore opportunities to work together in the future, particularly regarding dental practice ventures. Your expertise and professionalism make you an ideal partner, and I am confident that our collaboration will yield fruitful results.
Thank you once again for your support and understanding.

Client in Midlands

Many thanks for the thoughtful gift. Right up our street 😀 Thank you both for the best care these last few months. We can both now start to relax! Knowing the practice has moved into good hands.

Thank you once again.

Client from Hampshire

We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience working with Dental Practice Sales. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly proactive. They quickly connected us with a corporate dental group that turned out to be the perfect fit, and the sale went through smoothly and efficiently. Their guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable, and the results exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Dental Practice Sales to anyone looking to sell their dental practice with confidence and success.

Lisa, Devon

After 30 years in practice, from first being Introduced to Dean at Dental Practice Sale, we felt so blessed to have had Dean come to the practice and all the support from Dental Practice Sale. His professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge of the dental sector was extremely helpful, and we immediately knew we were in good hands. Throughout the process, we were ably and conscientiously supported by Louise who gave us constant support, guidance, and reassurance even through the difficult and stressful times of the process! What more can we say, than we were so glad to work with them and have them working on our behalf. I am not sure we’d have got there without both Dean and Louise, and the rest of the team working in the background. Thank you all so much!

Mark & Leah, West Yorkshire

Coming to the decision to sell a business that has been one's 'baby' for the best part of 30 years was never going to be easy, but Dean and Louise helped all the way.

Dean's valuation was matched by the sale price and Louise kept in touch throughout the process. She was always available to take a call at short notice and gave invaluable advice and guidance along the way.

Having just returned from a 40th graduation reunion, I've already recommended DPS to some old friends who are thinking now is the time to plan their own exit strategy. Thank you DPS and the team.

Client from Hampshire

Many thanks from the bottom of our hearts. This sale would not have completed without Louise’s assistance. We are truly grateful.

The best part was that she was always there for us. Louise was exceptionally professional, reliable, and empathetic from start to finish, demonstrating deep knowledge and commitment as our agent.

Client from London

Indeed selling this practice has been a journey.

I would like to express my gratitude to you and your entire team for your assistance with this, especially Louise who has been great throughout.

Nawaf and I have had a totally different experience with your organisation in comparison to other agents, you have given us a very personal service and we always felt like we are in this together.

We look forward to working with you on many deals in the future.

Reza Ahmad

What an amazing and fruitful journey.

Scott made the necessary introductions and we got multiple offers for our practice. He reassured us that the valuation he did was accurate. The offers that came in reflected this.

Once we agreed the sale, Scott just went into overdrive. He was always available for advice. He stood up to the purchasers for us. Basically, he did everything.

Louise then joined and started handling our sale. What an amazing person. Very knowledgable. Always available.

We did not believe that there were people out there actually looking after our interests – but Scott and Louise did!

There is no one else to do a sale through. I wish I had another practice to sell.

Amazing company!

Thank you very much Scott and Louise. I am forever grateful.

Client from Essex

Scott and all the team at DPS were professional and supportive in all honesty. They covered all parts of the process from day 1 until the completion and even post completion follow up.

Myself and the team are grateful for all their hard work and the recommendations they provided from day 1. They were always available when we needed them throughout the process and were keen to followup all details with all the parts on day to day basis.

Thank you Scott and the team.

Client from Sussex

Thank you for your e-mail and all of your help. I can’t believe we finally got it over the line!

You and Louise made a very painful process as bearable as possible and we really appreciate that. It might take us a few more days to get over last Friday but then the fun can start!

Client from Surrey

I would like to thank Dean and all his team at Dental Practice Sale who were supportive throughout the sale of my practice. Selling your practice is an emotional and complicated process. He was always available with his charming smile and honest advice. Dean batted on my side from start to finish. He never allowed the buyer to knock down the price in the final hurdle. In fact we squeezed a little bit more out at the end.
