Our History

Choice Transitions, founded by Daniel Baccari and Scott Cabral, is the result of nearly thirty years of experience in the dental transition marketplace.  In 1996, Baccari and Cabral both graduated from law school and entered into the dental transition field gaining their early experience working for a local dental practice broker.

In 1998, Mr. Baccari opened Baccari & Associates and began transitioning dental practices in the New England area. Mr. Cabral joined him in 2003 and they formed The Baccari Cabral Group (BCG). BCG became one of the fastest growing brokerage firms in New England, successfully selling numerous dental practices.

In 2008, BCG started expanding outside of the New England area and was transformed into National Practice Transitions (NPT), which opened its first office outside of New England in Columbus, Ohio.

Since then, the NPT team has successfully continued to grow and has opened several offices across the US, under the trade name Choice Transitions, stretching as far west as Illinois and Texas, covering all the states in between and down the eastern seaboard through Florida.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I was somewhat reluctant to begin this process, NPT and in particular Dr. Fred Bacon, were able to guide me through the process. Working with Fred and NPT proved to be very rewarding, personally and financially. NPT has an extensive network of contacts, and presented only credible candidates. They were very determined to work with my many difficulties and inexperience, and guide me through to completion. I recommend NPT without reservation to anyone seeking a professional transition.

“Dan and Choice Transitions were instrumental in introducing us to the buyer who would best suit the personality of our practice. Dan guided us through the entire process allowing us to transition our practice with confidence and ease. The best part was Choice sold my practice commission-free! You’re the best!”

I have been a client of Bernie Kowalski and Choice Transitions (NPT) since 2017.  He represented me in selling my practice and my wife's practice over the past years and through some difficult times.  He has been a loyal friend, a confidant and worked tirelessly for me since that time.  I highly recommend Bernie and the Choice Team."

"Fred and the team at Choice Transitions/NPT were a great source for finding my ideal practice.  Fred was prompt in returning my calls and helped me set up a meet and greet with the seller and a tour of the office quickly, which was very helpful.  Thanks so much!"

Thank you Bernie.  I appreciate all of your guidance and help through the process.  It wasn't all easy but I'm glad that Matt is taking over.  He is fitting in well and the patients seem to be accepting him.  Thanks again.

"Dan, I want to thank you for your invaluable assistance in the sale of my practice.  As a repeat client, I can say that you have consistently been tireless in your efforts to connect me to the right people to create a win/win agreement.  I would wholeheartedly recommend Choice Transitions to anyone contemplating a practice transition of their own."

Kent County, RI

Making the decision to sell your practice is not an easy one. However, I knew that working with Scott Cabral and his team would be much easier than trying to do things on my own. NPT did an outstanding job coordinating all the pieces and putting together the package that resulted in the sale of my practice with very little stress. I would recommend NPT to anyone considering selling or planning ahead to sell their practice.

“The sale of a  practice has unique challenges. Much to my surprise, Choice Transitions found the ideal buyer for my rural oral surgery practice within less than a month of the listing. I am appreciative of their efforts, the results of which allow me the opportunity to pursue my retirement dreams. A special thanks to Choice representative Ken Polke.”

Richard L. Powell, DDS

Change is always stressful but I have learned that the right professional can mitigate the anxiety. Dan found the right match and took care of all the details. I am now looking forward to the next chapter in my career with great optimism. I could not imagine going through the process without Dan and NPT.

"The practice transition experience with Bernie and Choice Transitions exceeded all expectations.  He understood my needs and wants, took the time to listen closely to both parties, responded quickly to all communications, and closed the deal earlier than forecasted.  In the end he gave me a card which reflected who I am at my core, to put it simply he got me.  I truly appreciate everything he did to allow Esther and I an early retirement."
