Our Satisfied Clients

"Julie's ability to analyze the financial standing of our Practice has been the key to our success and stability over the past 14 years. She was able to provide timely and accurate predictions of financial goals with great accuracy. When our Practice was ready to partner with a DSO, Julie provided the financial analyses necessary to drive beneficial decisions and a successful closing. Bruce's knowledge, guidance, and experience in healthcare transactions was invaluable to us as well. He kept us informed and protected our interests. Bruce was a strong advocate and advisor for our Practice. Julie is the consummate professional and is highly recommended for your Practice needs."

Partners and Founders, Bruce Vanderlaan and Julie Simpson have worked closely together for over 13 years, collaborating on the legal and operational ramifications of strategic business decisions in a healthcare setting. Most recently, they facilitated the financial analysis, due diligence, contract negotiation, and successful closing of a Class A Medical Office building in a sale/leaseback deal in a robust market. Additionally, Bruce and Julie collaborated to support the largest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Practice in their market through the process of affiliation with a doctor owned and led DSO (Dental Specialty Organization). Bruce and Julie provided internal support for the Doctor Partners and their Practice throughout the process, including KPI analysis, EBITDA review and adjustments, comparative analysis of multiple DSO structures, extensive due diligence process, contract negotiation for best terms, successful closing, and ongoing support through the business integration process.
