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

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.

Drew S. Griffith, DDS
Warren County, NJ

I appreciate the service Choice Transitions and Fred Bacon provided during the sale and transition of my practice. He was always accessible and timely in returning my phone calls. Selling my practice and retiring were stressful events but Fred made the process less so. I have known Fred for 40 years and I chose him and Choice Transitions because I knew he would represent me well. And he did! The buyer is transitioning well with the staff and patients.

Shelby 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.

Lehigh County, PA

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.

Joseph M. Ross, DDS
White County, TN

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.

Thanks to NPT and Jason, I have fulfilled my dream of retirement in sunny Florida. Selling a practice in a small town can be very difficult but Jason made it a very smooth transition!

Dr. Pat Long DDS
Shadyside, OH

I was referred to Dan Baccari and Choice Transitions by a friend who had recently sold his dental practice.  Unequivocally, it was the best decision I could have made.  If you are serious about selling your practice, your first call should be to Dan Baccari and Choice Transitions.  You will not be disappointed.

Carl Ferreira, DMD
Bristol County, MA

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.

Chris Anderson, DDS
Coffee County, TN

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

Working with National Practice Transitions could not have been a better experience. Dan and NPT were terrific. They were on top of all the details from the beginning and were always looking out for my best interest. Their knowledge and experience was extensive making the process easy and I cannot thank Dan and NPT enough.
