With intimate knowledge of the Chicago area and years of experience Dr. Uhland was wonderful to partner with when it came time to sell my practice.
Working with Rob to sell my practice and begin the transition into retirement was the way to go for me. His knowledge of the Chicagoland market and ability to match buyers with sellers is second to none. If you are ready to begin the process, I highly recommend you give him a call.
Rob did a great job helping me navigate through the sale of my dental practice. He was constantly in touch with me and introduced me to many potential buyers. I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Chicago Dental Broker. Thank you, Rob.
I contacted Rob Uhland to sell my orthodontic practice and building. Selling unfortunately always involves accountants and lawyers but with Rob we were able to keep moving forward to completion which ultimately is the goal; very satisfied.
Rob was very easy to work with as well as very knowledgeable. He never stopped looking for suitable buyers and was an asset with negotiating the final deal. Not only did he represent me in the process but he also had what seemed like unlimited resources with proper representation. I highly recommend Rob to make this process successful.
I had a great experience using Dr. Rob Uhland and Chicago Dental Broker to sell my large fee for service private dental practice. He is very knowledgeable about the Chicago area dental market, has a good understanding of how to negotiate a sale, and has many dental contacts.
I was very particular about who I would sell my practice to and Rob was patient, understanding and able to find several interested, qualified prospects, including the doctor who bought my practice.
He even found me an excellent associate dentist when I unexpectedly needed one during the search for a buyer. Using Rob was a blessing.
Thank you Dr. Uhland, I couldn’t have done it without you!

Common Questions
About Dental Practice Sales
Why should I use a dental practice broker to sell my practice?
A dental practice broker helps maximize value, maintain confidentiality, and connect sellers with qualified buyers. They also help manage negotiations, financing coordination, and due diligence throughout the transaction.
Do dental practice brokers keep listings confidential?
Yes. Most dental practice sales are handled confidentially, and we may not list all of our practices publicly. Buyer information is screened, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are typically required before sharing detailed financials or practice information.
Do you help buyers find dental practices?
Yes. Dental practice brokers work with dentists and investors looking to acquire practices by identifying opportunities, coordinating introductions, and helping guide the buyer through financing, due diligence, and closing.
