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

NPT and Dr. Bernie Kowalski made it easy to market and sell my practice with their thorough knowledge, continual follow-up, and providing necessary advice throughout every step of the way to the closing. Thank you again.

H.V. Dalsania, DDS
Lehigh County, PA

I wish to recommend Dr. Fred Bacon of Choice Transmissions. He was the broker for the sale of my dental practice which was difficult and complicated. My practice had a number of impediments to a quick sale. However, Dr. Bacon succeeded where others had failed. He was able to locate a prospective buyer, and I am enjoying retirement today. Dr. Bacon made himself readily available and was easy to do business with.”

Robert Matthews, DDS
Anderson County, TN

I am forever grateful for the long days, weeks and months that Amanda Christy sacrificed sleepless nights with numerous text messages and phone calls to make this transaction a success for both the buyer and myself.

Joy Graves, DMD
Fayetteville, NC

I have had a positive experience with NPT- Choice Transitions.  On short notice, Bernie Kowalski was able to identify a dentist who was interested in becoming the custodian of my patient records.  He was very attentive and responsive to my calls and in moving the contract to successful conclusion.  I recommend him highly.

R. Lawrence Fraze, DDS
Somerset County, NJ

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." 

Dr. Michael Bone, DMD
Lackawanna County, PA

After trying other brokers and trying to sell my practice myself I was beginning to double that I would be able to retire.  Dr. Bacon and NPT found the perfect fit and my practice sold.  Thanks NPT.

Dr. Graham Hall Morris, DDS
Shelby County, TN

"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!"

Anyone looking to buy or sell a practice needs to seriously consider Scott Cabral and NPT. Scott’s in-depth knowledge of the dental profession and, even more importantly, his outstanding dedication to his clients, will make him an extremely valuable member of your transition team. Scott was always available to answer any questions or concerns and facilitated the transaction in a smooth and stress free manner. I highly recommend NPT.

John J. Darby, DDS

I would like to thank NPT and especially Dr. Fred Bacon for not giving up on the sale of my practice. I think I gave them a real challenge, but they came through with the kind of deal that suited my situation perfectly. I highly recommend NPT for any sale or transition.
