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.

My experience with Scott Cabral and National Practice Transitions was excellent. Scott more than earned his fee. His ability to formulate the deal, shepard it and then promote a smooth closing were very necessary and appreciated.

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.

Marilyn Phillips, DDS

At times there was some bumps in the road selling the practice, but with Bernie's persistence the practice was sold.  I want to thank Bernie for not giving up, hats off.  Thank you National Practice Transitions.

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 was looking to sell my practice, but not retire completely.  Dr. Kowalski not only found the right buyer, but facilitated the entire process effortlessly.  His help continued after the sale as he followed through on several small issues.  I would recommend him highly.

em>“We just wanted to drop you a note, Rick, thanking you and NPT for your assistance in selling our dental practice. You were readily available during the whole process (from appraisal to final sale). We were particularly impressed with your negotiation skills. The deal you crafted between us (the sellers) and the buyer was a well thought-out arrangement creating a win for both parties. Again, Thank You and NPT!!"
