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 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

Thanks to NPT, my practice had a very smooth transition. Even under the best circumstances, it is a complicated process with unexpected bumps in the road. I cannot imagine having done this without NPT.

Robert Bird, Jr., DDS
Litchfield County, CT

My broker, Dr. Harry Snydman, is a dentist who actually understands dental aspects of the transition and that's a huge plus when you need to discuss the concerns that come with the selling or buying practice. Dr. Snydman understood my current situation of selling the practice and worked with me all the way to the end to keep the sale discrete and confidential.

Benjamin Lee, DMD
Fairfax County, VA

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

Dr. Bacon and Choice Transitions guided me through several options and found the best candidate to take over my practice during very uncertain times. I appreciate the fact that he allowed me to decide what was best for me, just as an experienced and knowledgeable dentist would do for their patient. I highly recommend having a conversation with Dr. Bacon if you are considering selling your practice."

Dr. Chris Anderson

Chris Anderson, DDS
Coffee County, TN

"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." 

Dr. Charles Harding, DMD, PC
Lehigh County, PA

“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
Tuscarawas County, OH

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.

Joseph F. Dove, DDS
Shelby County, TN

"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."
