Hi. We‘re BridgeWay.

Our clients are our focus.

Buying and selling a dental practice can be like riding a roller coaster. On one end, buyers are nervous about making the best decision possible, going into debt, and running their own practice. On the other end, sellers are dealing with the very emotional process of letting go of something they most likely have spent decades building and nurturing. At BridgeWay Practice Transitions, we are focused on being present every step of the way, helping all parties manage the ups and downs of the journey. It is not uncommon for us to take phone calls late at night, show practices on the weekends, and respond immediately to urgent requests. Applying this focus and attention to the needs of the client is the difference between a great experience and a terrible one. Most people only have one opportunity to buy a practice and one opportunity to sell. Our goal is to make sure your opportunity is the best one possible.

Your timeline, not ours.

BridgeWay Practice Transitions prides itself in having a long term outlook on our relationship with our clients. Whether you are looking to make a change today, or just need some guidance, you will receive the same great service from us. Sometimes it takes a buyer 2-3 years to find the practice of their dreams or a seller may need to work five more years before being able to sell, and that’s okay with us! No matter your timeline, we are here to help and work with you on your schedule, not ours.

Seller Services

BridgeWay provides free practice appraisals to help our sellers come up with a transition plan. When the time is right to list the practice for sale, we will provide the marketing to attract the best candidates, screen all buyers, draft contracts, and work with the banks until closing.

Buyer Services

We work with buyers to locate the practice that works best for them based on philosophy, geography and finances. We will work with the banks to help obtain financing and provide contracts for their attorney’s to review.

Associate Placement Services

Not ready to buy or sell? We help associates find opportunities and help owners find associates. We apply our same philosophies to placing associates as we do to finding the right buyer. We have a dedicated associate placement specialist committed solely to placing associates.

Other Services

Already together and need someone to help you to the finish line? We will gladly come in and work as a neutral third party to determine practice value, negotiate the purchase price, provide contracts, and mediate the transition through the entire process.

Even if you are not ready to make a change today, it’s never too early to start planning. We value our long-term relationships and the ability to position our clients over time, so that when they do make a change, it is done in the best way possible. Contact us today if you are even considering buying or selling a practice in the next 3-5 years. Having expert advice and time to plan can make a huge difference!

Regardless of the reason for buying or selling a dental practice, the decision and process are deeply personal. There are many complexities of the deal including the business basics, timing, and the blending of personalities and temperaments. I found Tiffany to possess the experience and skills to get to the finish line. What I found unique in her though, was her innate sensitivity and sincerity. Tiffany genuinely cares about her clients. She conducts herself with integrity, as one who treasures their reputation. When I met Tiffany a couple years ago at a dental meeting, I told her a little about myself and what I was looking for. Apparently, she was listening, because when the perfect practice fit became available she found me and worked with the seller and myself to enable us to make a mutually rewarding transition happen.

Brenda G. Fritz, DMDJasper, Georgia

Thank you for such easy, quick and efficient means of transitioning my practice to a new owner. It was simple and straightforward without the drama other brokers had demanded. Thank you for a job well done!

John Hinds, DDSRoswell, Georgia

I appreciate both of you (Celeste & Tiffany). You guys are a great team. The experience was very smooth and easy.

Michael Mansouri, DMDAtlanta, Georgia

My experience with Farrah Zemke & BridgeWay was great. I was able to sell my practice in the manner that I wanted and in the time span that I needed. Farrah was very informed and kept on top of things. She always kept me up to date with what was going on by texting, e-mailing or phone calls, whatever was needed. Due to her effort, I will be able to retire in 3 months in the way I wanted to leave my practice. I can’t thank her enough for her efforts; she is truly a first class individual.

Anthony Schiavone, DDSWarren, Ohio

Thank you for your understanding, guidance and support through the difficult process of letting go of my practice. Your kindness was appreciated.

Claire Worthy Thornton, DMDHiawassee, Georgia

I happened to stumble upon BridgeWay Transitions, and I am so thankful that I did. Tiffany Stewart is an absolute gem! The entire process of purchasing a practice is very daunting, and she walked me through every step. She put me in touch with the right people to make it all happen; i.e., bank, lawyer, accountant. But what I appreciate the most is her sincerity and thoughtfulness. You can tell that Tiffany is dedicated to what she does and really wants the best for everyone. Tiffany would call and check on me and see if there was anything I needed help with. She really took my thoughts and considerations into account, as well as the sellers. And this was a very difficult task, but Tiffany was available by phone or email 24/7 and would present creative solutions that are mutually beneficial to both parties and goes above and beyond to ensure the transaction proceeds successfully for all involved. This has led to happy, seamless transition. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tiffany and her team to my friends and colleagues. She is above the rest in the market with her expertise, unparalleled knowledge and compassion.

Anita Pandey, DMDAtlanta, Georgia

I am very glad that I called Bridgeway. After 40 years in practice, I had no clue how to transition into retirement. Tiffany and Celeste came to evaluate my practice and explain the process. In less than a week, they found a Doctor who was the perfect fit to purchase the practice. Celeste was very helpful in guiding me through the procedures. In no time, we were done and both parties were happy with the results. Bridgeway took much of the stress out of the transition and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is contemplating buying or selling their practice.

Kevin Magid, DDSDecatur, Georgia

I first came across BridgeWay Practice Transitions and immediately was surprised by the quality of the practices in their listings. Many of them were fee for service practices with healthy profit margins. Their referrals for other professionals to involve in the transaction were fabulous, and overall the entire team communicated and worked together well. I am now on the other side of the deal, and although being a new practice owner has its own stresses, I feel blessed to have found the arrangement I did.

Scott Scharnhorst, DDSRome, Georgia

When I first met Farrah Zemke with BridgeWay and described to her what I was looking for, she went above and beyond in her search until one that fit my criteria came across. Every step of the way, her valuable experience and negotiating skills ensured that I would be acquiring the right practice. She is professional, proactive, and does not give up. She is very easy to talk to, to work with, and made the whole process significantly easier and comfortable for me. When I successfully purchased the new practice, I enjoyed sharing that moment with her, as I saw her as a partner throughout the whole process. She is a great resource for anyone needing her expertise.

Satya Potaraju, DDSColumbus, OH

After trying to market my solo dental practice myself for a year, with no success, I decided to use BridgeWay Practice Transitions. Celeste and Tiffany were very knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through the process. Within two weeks they had a potential buyer. The entire process was completed and my practice turned over to the buyer within four months of signing our contract. I would highly recommend BridgeWay Practice Transitions.

Len Routenberg, DDSDunwoody, GA

I am certainly joyous about the sale of my practice! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to sell my practice to and having almost reached the point of thinking the right person would never come along, y ‘all brought her to me. Thank you for your hard work and patience with me. I am elated.

Robert D. Betzel, DDSEatonton, GA

I would highly recommend Celeste and Bridgeway Practice Transitions. I’ve now transitioned 5 offices in my last several years with different brokerage firms and this has been one of the easiest transitions. Celeste and Bridgeway are truly professional, non-biased, will not try to raise the selling price by doing open houses or setting up bidding wars as other brokerage firms have in the past. They will be open and honest to the buyer and seller to ensure that it’s a great fit for both parties. I hope to help transition several other offices through them and can’t wait for our next project.

Dipesh Patel, DMDAtlanta, Georgia

Bridgeway is truly, ‘transitions done differently’. Tiffany proved to be compassionate, attentive and extremely knowledgeable at every step along my road to transition my practice from solo practice of 13 years to a practice merger into a practice in my same neighborhood. This merger has been a terrific win for both myself and the practice with which I merged. It was a true win-win for all. She certainly has the background, connections and the vision to set her clients up for success who are looking to move into their next phase of practice.

Portia Grayson, DDSAtlanta, Georgia

Tiffany brings to the table the knowledge, connections, and experience to connect the right buyers with the right sellers in order to achieve a true win win situation. Where other brokers can fail to deliver on the intangibles like sincerity, follow through, and a genuine dedication to the success of all parties involved, Tiffany excels. I feel very fortunate to have found her to help me transition my practice and I am pleased to enthusiastically recommend her.

Joshua D. Foulk, DMDJasper, Georgia

Overall, I felt that my experience was very good. I always felt that Celeste Kohl had my best interest in mind while being fair and reasonable. I think she did an awesome job with the completion of the transition. I appreciate her hard work and dedication. Thank you so much!!!

Michael Thomas, Jr, DMDMarietta, Georgia

I have known Farrah for over a year. We have met several times during which Farrah has shown great knowledge and professionalism. I can describe Farrah as honest, knowledgeable, and strong work ethic. I highly recommend her to my peers in the dental field.
