What Clients Are Saying
Dan Smith was instrumental in reaching my goal of selling my practice to a successor and retiring. I chose Dan as my attorney because of his experience in healthcare, as well as his knowledge of business transactions. An added benefit of working with Dan was his ability to work as a team with my other consultants. For example, Dan was able to analyze and spot a regulatory issue which may have threatened the deal. He consulted with my other advisors and made the proper recommendations. In fact, my practice management consultant was so impressed with Dan’s thoroughness that he believed that Dan saved the day! I highly recommend Dan for any physician who needs help in the business and regulatory aspects of healthcare.
