Boost your DentistryIQ: Don't buy a practice without talking to this guy!

Are you planning to buy a dental practice? Are you truly prepared for this major process? Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz looks back on her practice buying experience and realizes she was not as equipped as she could have been for the task. She wants her peers to have a better experience than she did, and says a buyer's advocate can make buying go as smoothly as possible.

Here she spends time with buyer's advocate for dentists, Brian Hanks. He explains, "If you think about what brokers do for sellers, they help them navigate the process. I do that just for buyers—I work just with dentists, and just with buyers." He briefly explains the five things that dentists need when they buy a practice, and it will certainly take some planning.

Stick around to see what treat Hanks has in store for viewers!
