Very insightful!
Very insightful book! I found the chapters in this book extremely informative. It covers topics that every Dentist should know, but are rarely talked about in dental school or dental circles. It was a great read coming right out of dental school. I highly recommend.

In Dental Practice Transitions Handbook, Dr. Michael A. Njo deftly navigates the ever-changing landscape of dental practice transitions, providing insightful advice and guidance to dental professionals at any stage of their career. Dr. Njo's approach emphasizes the importance of careful planning and educated decision-making to ensure long-term success in a field that has seen significant changes in recent years.

Each chapter builds upon previous concepts, gradually introducing more nuanced aspects of dental practice transitions while maintaining reader engagement. Dr. Njo's writing style is clear and accessible, reflecting his experience in both dentistry and practice management. Comparatively, Dental Practice Transitions Handbook stands out from similar books in its genre, such as Transitioning from Dental School to Private Dental Practice by Brian G. Hallisey, DDS, by its focus on specific transition options and the impact of varying economic climates. Dr. Njo skillfully delves into each scenario, providing readers with actionable advice and guidance that can be personalized to their individual situations. The ideal audience for Dental Practice Transitions Handbook is dental professionals at any stage of their career, particularly those who are considering a transition, such as a partnership, acquisition, or sale of a practice. Whether you are a new graduate or an experienced dentist, Dr. Njo's book will provide valuable insights to help you navigate the complexities of the dental practice transition process. I wholeheartedly recommend Dental Practice Transitions Handbook by Dr. Michael A. Njo. The author's expertise, engaging writing style, and nuanced discussion of practical topics make this book a valuable addition to any dental professional's library.
