Dental practices aren't ordinary businesses.
Neither is selling one.
Advising Southern California dentists through practice sales, acquisitions, confidential transitions, and dental real estate structuring—delivering the discretion of a boutique advisor with the market power of Peak Commercial.
Michael Makabeh
A dental practice is two transactions hiding inside one.
Most residential realtors know nothing about dental goodwill, active patient recall, or operatory plumbing. Most practice brokers have never negotiated a 10-year commercial lease with demolition clauses or handled a multi-million-dollar medical office sale. Michael Makabeh brings both worlds into alignment.
1. The Practice Business
The clinical goodwill, patient relationships, and cash flow built across decades of patient care.
2. The Real Estate & Lease
The physical facility, mechanical infrastructure, and long-term occupancy rights that protect practice equity.
Why This Matters to Your Transition
A buyer cannot obtain SBA dental loan financing without securing at least a 10-year term on the facility lease. Michael coordinates practice valuation, buyer financing, and commercial lease terms together—eliminating the most common deal-killer in dental transitions.

The best dental practice may never hit the open market.
Many retiring doctors will only transition their practices if complete discretion is assured. They never list publicly on commercial websites. By joining Michael's private buyer registry, pre-approved doctors gain access to confidential, off-market opportunities before anyone else.
