J. Richard Booth, D.D.S. - Spring House, Pennsylvania:
     A full year has past since Dr. Cooper helped me with the transition and sale of my practice, and I must say that I have been far more pleased with the results than I would have ever dreamed.  I was referred to him several years ago for a practice evaluation and some advice in transitioning my practice.  With time, I followed his advice and offered my practice for sale rather than attempting to faze out.  I know now that that was very good advice.  
    From day one, he was helpful in organizing my thoughts about retirement, advising me about practice valuation, guiding me through the sales process, helping recruit potential buyers, dealing with legal issues, and ultimately going to settlement.  Everything was handled professionally and expeditiously.
    The new doctor is very happy and doing very nicely.  My staff and my patients have remained with him and really like him.  This is important to me and makes me very happy knowing that they made this transition as easily too - certainly a tribute to his professionalism and competence.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  
Bruce Leinen, D.D.S. - Pennsville, New Jersey:
     Several years ago, I secured the services of Phil Cooper of American Practice Consultants.  I obtained a Practice Evaluation to be subsequently used for a full Partnership Buy-In.  There are many scary things that we as dentists deal with in life.  I can assure you that this is one of them.  Phil's experience and sense of fair play ensures both parties feel the "right thing" is being done.  He has an ability to see the road ahead, and steer the negotiations properly.  I can tell you that Phil saved me many sleepless nights.  He is a true expert in these matters.  I'm now in my 5th year of the partnership and it has been smooth sailing, to say the least.  And, everything has already been prepared for the eventual sale of the last half of the practice.  Phil provides so much in his services, but perhaps the biggest thing is peace of mind.  I recommend him highly.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            
Amish Sheth, D.M.D. - Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania:
     As a younger dentist, I was intimidated with the thought of buying a practice.  I spent a long time searching opportunities and working with several dental brokers, large and small.  My experience with Dr. Cooper and American Practice Consultants was outstanding.  Dr. Cooper was an excellent resource and most importantly patient with me as a buyer.  His approach with putting the right sellers and buyers together helped me in finding the best opportunity for me.  I would not hesitate to recommend any colleague to Dr. Cooper.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          
Paul W. George, D.D.S. - New Brunswick, New Jersey:
     I want to thank Dr. Cooper for his help and guidance over the years which has helped me make some very important decisions in my professional career.  Anyone going through a practice transition of any sort NEEDS to seek out Dr. Cooper and American Practice Consultants.  His knowledge and insight is outstanding!!  He will help you through every aspect of the transition and will help steer you in the right course to help you reach your professional and personal goals.  I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone.
                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Lynn DuBoff, D.M.D. and Steven DuBoff, D.M.D. - Bloomfield, New Jersey:
     We have had a great deal of professional contact with Dr. Phil Cooper during the past 4 years since he guided us through the sale of our busy practice in New Jersey, the purchase of a 50% partnership in Vermont, the subsequent dissolution of that same partnership a year later, and then finally the purchase of another practice again in Vermont.  After all of that, we are truly in a position to say that we have the absolute highest regard for Phil in every respect as an expert practice broker.  Phil brings forth not only a wealth of knowledge and hard earned experience, but complete honesty, integrity and practical common sense.  In selling our practice, Phil hand picked a select few individuals out of his pool of interested buyers that he felt would be the "right" match for us.  Literally the second person who came to visit the practice ended up as our buyer and he today has retained 100% or our staff, almost all of the patients, and not only is very successful, but even more importantly, very happy in his new practice.  Phil had the brilliant vision to match this individual's needs and desires to our practice, which was the "right" practice for him.  Additionally, during our transition between states and practices, it was a comfort and a blessing to have Phil to guide us through some extremely stressful situations with his grounded wisdom and insight.  Phil made himself always easily available to us and made us feel as though we were his "only clients: although in actuality, he had hundreds of clients going through the same processes and with the same questions and problems as we were experiencing.  Phil Cooper is truly one of a kind resource blending dentistry, practice transition and business administration with the personal component of making practices click.  We would never consider making a move or decision without his counsel and professional guidance.
                                                                                                                                                                                               
Jacob Milunsky, D.M.D. - Media, Pennsylvania:
     I had spoken to many other transition 'specialists' before I came to Phil Cooper and American Practice Consultants.  Phil is unlike anyone else I have met in this industry, and conducts his business with the utmost level of expertise.  He guided me, a first time buyer of any practice, to the right practice for me.  He did not show me offices that would not fit my personality, or my budget.  He did not push me into a scenario with another dentist that would be less than optimal for either of us.  Rather, he guided me to a good fit that had just the right elements for me to build my next career move.
     Phil took all the time necessary to fully explain every element of the process.  He can also make great suggestions of other professionals involved in the buying who specialize in guiding new dentists.  After going through dental school, boards and residency, it's nice to find a professional who can make your life easier and help you find what we all worked so hard for.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Rudolph R. Leidl, D.M.D. - Long Valley, New Jersey:
     I have had several opportunities to work with Dr. Philip Cooper, the most recent being the sale of my dental practice.  Dr. Cooper is very knowledgable and conscientious.  I would highly recommend Dr. Cooper for any dental practice transition you may have.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Tsin (Gene) Chuang, D.M.D., Ph.D., MAGD - Moorestown, New Jersey:
     After spending more than $10,000 in attorney fees and wasting many hours of time with some "interested" but unsure buyers myself, I engaged Dr. Philip Cooper, American Practice Consultants, to handle the sale of my dental practice.  With his many years of experience, expertise in practice transitions and a dentist himself, he really knows the profession and the market.  Phil brought more potential buyers than I expected in a short period of time.  He gave me good advice and handled the transition in a very professional, expeditious fashion, fair to both me and the buyer.  The end result was a happy seller and happy buyer, who by the way, continues to prosper in the practice.  I strongly recommend Phil to any dentist who is either selling or buying a practice.
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Brady Sherly, D.M.D. - Westmont, New Jersey and Media, Pennsylvania:
     I have known Dr. Phil Cooper for well over five years.  I initially contacted him when the time had come for me to purchase a practice.  During that time I have engaged Phil's services for the sale of one office and the purchase of two others.  So I have unique perspective of using Phil from both the buyer's and seller's position.  I must say that Phil is extremely honest, knowledgeable, informed, organized and above all patient in all aspects of practice transition.
     As a younger dentist the process can be intimidating at first, however Phil walks you through from start to finish.  He has a wide base of contacts in the dental field so I never felt lost when needing to find an attorney or financial lender.  Mention his name to his peers in the industry and he comes highly recommended.  I can honestly say, without reservation, that Phil Cooper is your first and only choice when deciding to make one of the biggest decisions of your career.   I have gotten to know Phil pretty well over the past few years and I consider him a close friend in the industry.  He is definitely someone you want to know and I look forward to working with him in the future.
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Daniel S. Bernstein, D.D.S. – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
     I sold my solo practice through American Practice Consultants, and Dr. Cooper was superb. My transaction was atypical in that it was necessary for me to handle much of the direct negotiating with the buyer. Dr. Cooper coached me through the entire challenging process. There is no question that the sale would not have happened were it not for his involvement. He and I spent many hours on the phone and I always felt like I was his top priority even though I knew he was working with other clients at the same time. Dr. Cooper was professional, knowledgeable, knew all the right people, and had a calm demeanor that kept things focused throughout. If I ever have another practice to sell, Phil would be my first call.
                                                                                                                                                                                                         
John R. Marcelino, D.M.D. - Little Silver, New Jersey:
     Thank you so much for your consulting services during the last couple of months.  Your guidance, advice, and professionalism proved invaluable to my first practice acquisition.  I could not have done it with you!  Thanks again!
                                                                                                                          
Heather J. Olson, D.M.D. - North Cape May, New Jersey:
      It was a pleasure working with Phil during my practice purchase.  He made the whole process seamless, especially considering the less than ideal circumstances with the previous owner's sudden death.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            
Howard W. Silbersher, D.D.S. - Princeton, New Jersey:
     Philip Cooper, D.M.D., M.B.A., represented me as my broker in the sale of my dental practice in Washington Crossing, PA.  The transaction was successfully completed in April 2009.  Dr. Cooper was very professional and skillful in galvanizing, or "amalgamating" the buyer and the seller, and their respective attorneys.  Not an easy task.  After the papers were signed and the money crossed the table we all left with good feelings and cordial relations.  I would unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Cooper to represent any future sellers or buyers for dental practices. 
                                                                                                                                           
John Martin, D.D.S. - Westmont, New Jersey:
     I had a good experience with Dr. Phil Cooper and American Practice Consultants. I was able to transition my practice to a young dentist who was a perfect replacement for me.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            
Kenneth R. Oppenheim, D.D.S. - Allentown, Pennsylvania:
     When I hired Phil to represent me in a divorce proceeding, the opposing counselor was so impressed that he wanted to hire Phil to use in another case.  Practices can be evaluated many ways, and Phil pretty much does that as part of his appraisals.  The bottom line is a practice is only worth what someone will pay for it, and that is the price Phil gives.  The price should match that of any competent, professional appraiser, and will make economic sense for the seller and the buyer.  I have recommended Phil to many dentists, and I continue to rely on his services and expertise; twenty five years later, I recently had a new appraisal done.  Most of all, I trust him.
                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Alan Kirsch, D.D.S. - Hatboro, Pennsylvania:
     Dr. Cooper and American Practice Consultants were very professional, thorough and highly ethical in offering invaluable advice in selling my dental practice.  They helped with all necessary documents and made the transition seamless.  I am grateful for his services and have recommended his services to many of my colleagues.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Kevin Atlee, D.M.D. - Moorestown, New Jersey:
     Being a young dentist looking for a practice to purchase, it was incredibly valuable and comforting dealing with Dr. Cooper.  He made the process smooth and seamless.  Although he was officially the seller's representative, I never felt like he wasn't on my side and willing to help me in any way during and after the sale.  In this day and age of big-box businesses, having the personal attention of "the boss" is rare and made a huge difference.  I look forward to using his services when it's time to hire an associate and eventually when I sell my practice.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  
James A. Spinelli. D.D.S. - Pennsauken, New Jersey:
     Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated your help and guidance in the sale of my practice.  I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. 
                                                                                                                                                                                    
Lewis A. Kay, D.D.S., Clinical Program Coordinator, Temple University Hospital/Episcopal Campus- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
     I have known Phil for several years now and he has lectured to my residents at Episcopal Hospital.  I have always found him to be honest, very knowledgeable, and willing to discuss any issues that might arise with regard to transitioning.  The fact that he is a dentist with an MBA allows him to be able to relate better to our circumstances.  He certainly has my support.
