Success Stories
Jonas Ashbaugh, DDS“Norman Gelfand became a part of my team after a recommendation from Breakaway Practice Seminars. Also, a fellow dentist had high praises for Norman. Norman delivered huge in service and on paper. He negotiated a great deal by delivering a rock-solid lease that I had confidence in signing.
Thanks, Norman, for the hours of hard work and dedication to my lease!”

Daekyu Hwang, DMD"I recently had the opportunity to work with Norman Gelfand and DENTREXX. I am a dental professional that knows very little about dental real estate who would be signing my first dental lease. I needed their assistance in this process.
I want to thank them for their assistance in helping me negotiate my lease. They were very responsive and forward-thinking with my best interests at heart. Their hard work decreased my proposed lease rate and secured additional tenant improvement dollars-which I didn’t even know I was entitled to receive!
I would strongly recommend DENTREXX to anyone that is in need of professional guidance in terms of lease agreements. I would be happy to speak directly with anyone that has questions or wants to discuss my experiences with this company."

Bristol, CT
Andy Game, DDS"I was having some issues with the Landlord. My landlord was not listening to me and continued to violate the lease.
I am very happy with my lease. Due to Mr. Gelfand’s work on my lease, the Landlord was unable to charge me additional fees. The Landlord was required to honor the lease due to his work.
If any dentist is, or will be, negotiating a lease, do yourself a favor and hire Norman Gelfand."

Sreekanth Emani, DDS"I have used Mr. Gelfand’s services and found him to be very knowledgeable about dental real estate. He is very thorough, is available to answer my questions quickly, and works well with the Landlord’s brokers.
I recommend Mr. Gelfand and DENTREXX for your real estate needs."
Chicago, IL
Courtney P. Jones, DDS"I would like to formally recognize Mr. Gelfand and his team for Lease Negotiation services. My husband had known “Norm” for several months and we are thankful for the decision in selecting him to negotiate for us. He is very knowledgeable and detail-oriented, all while providing exceptional customer service. Throughout our lease negotiation process, he took the time to explain each and every decision and secured lease terms that were very favorable for my practice. His team actually cares about their clients. Although our negotiation process was complete, Norman himself called to check on us as we received record hurricane flooding. He offered his services to revisit the lease if we were affected in any way.
I highly recommend DENTREXX. Please, if you have any questions, call or email me."

Michael B. Doughty, DMD"…thank you for your counsel and negotiation of our practice’s commercial real estate lease. The counsel and direction you provided in the partnership’s expansion plan is indicative of your sound business judgement. Your knowledge and experience have been invaluable to Austin Endodontics as we manage our business into the future.
It was a pleasure to work with a professional whose skills and experience I trust, and who provided such a high level of service. I look forward to a long business relationship with Norman, Pamela, and DENTREXX. I will certainly refer other dental professionals to your firm for representation and advice on dental commercial real estate matters."

Latasha Garrett, DDS"I worked with Norman Gelfand for my first dental practice in Tennessee. Another friend who had just completed lease negotiations with Norman recommended him. Norman is a great broker. He has so much experience and is very knowledgeable. He was easy to reach if I had any questions or concerns. He also worked on my behalf to make sure I was getting the best deal and had protections in the lease.
I’m so grateful and I look forward to working with him in the future."

Robert Hendricks, DDS"When we started thinking about opening a practice, we asked our friends about real estate representation. Norman Gelfand got rave reviews in conversation, as well as in recommendation letters. We learned a lot in the process due to Norman’s expertise in lease negotiation about the importance of a well-negotiated dental lease and how the right terms and conditions can positively affect a practice’s profitability by minimizing risk to protect the practitioner’s capital investment. Our Landlord was a “tough cookie”. Norman’s professionalism and negotiation ability resulted in a lease that protected our interests, and was key in establishing a positive landlord-tenant relationship. It was a win-win result.
Norman not only looked at the “now” issues. He negotiated our lease by anticipating “over the horizon” issues and safeguarding against financial loss should they occur.
We unreservedly recommend Norman Gelfand and DENTREXX for your dental real estate. He exhibited a consistent attitude of protectiveness above and beyond the call of duty."

Sean Williams, DMD"I want to share my excellent experience with Norman Gelfand and DENTREXX.
…I did a start-up practice in Florida and found that before I met Norman, the process was very frustrating.
…I finally decided that I needed to hire someone that could get results. I went back and reviewed my Breakaway Startup manual (via Scott Leune, DDS), and saw that Norman Gelfand/DENTREXX was recommended for these situations.
I knew this company was different from others after the first phone call.
If I could pick one thing that sets Norman apart from other brokers, it would be his experience with lease negotiation. He has seen many dental leases in his 34+-year career, and knows exactly what needs to be included to protect his clients. …he has positioned my practice for success now and in the future.
If you’re doing a start-up or looking to relocate your practice, Norman Gelfand and DENTREXX goes beyond the call of duty. Give DENTREXX a call…you won’t be disappointed."

The Age of (Mis)Information: Myths That No Dentist Should Believe Before Leasing a Dental Office
While it is doubtful that a dentist will go to the Internet and become a lease negotiation "Do-It-Yourselfer", there are misconceptions that can cost dental practitioners tens of thousands of dollars every year! Explore why these common myths often cost tenants like you thousands!
Know the Hidden Business Risks That Could Threaten Your Dental Practice's Profitability
"Hidden Business Risks" in Leases that are overlooked by most real estate professionals and many attorneys can wreak havoc in practice ownership – in profitability and in time away from patient treatment spent to resolve problems that can become nightmares.
The Importance of Exclusive Representation - Don't Overlook the "F" Word
It's all about the "F" word. Without exclusive licensed real estate broker representation, the dentist has no one watching his/her back! Licensing means we must adhere to the highest level of fiduciary responsibility to our client.
Why DENTREXX Services Cost Zero - How We're Paid For Our Sevices
If the dental tenant has no broker, the landlord pays the listing broker the entire agreed-upon fee. If the dental tenant has broker representation, the Landlord’s broker pays a portion of his/her fee to the dental tenant’s broker – and there is no cost to the dental tenant.
The Value of Having a Dental-Specific Team of Professionals On Your Side
Any dentist contemplating practice ownership should have an experienced group of dental-specific professionals on his/her team. Dentists, have an experienced team of proven dental-specific professionals on your team before entering into a lease.
Preparation for Your Successful Dental Practice Exit Strategy
View your office lease as a powerful portion of practice ownership, when negotiated for business protection. A business-protective lease plays an integral part in maximizing practice value at the time of sale and significantly helps to prepare for a lucrative Exit Strategy.
The Value of Well-Defined Dental Office Lease Renewal Options
Dental tenants should never settle for “renewal options at market rate” unless there is an accepted method of determining market value to arrive at a lease rate. Tenants should not sign a lease without the specifics of the renewal right.
The Age-Old Question: Whether to Lease or Buy Your Dental Office?
There is a fallacy created by most real estate salespeople/brokers or unlicensed consultants, that it’s always best to buy your location rather than lease it, making it seem that a purchase is a guaranteed win for the purchaser. Not so fast, here!
Buying a Dental Practice? It's Important to do the Homework!
Purchasing a practice is a huge emotional and financial investment and entails lots of moving parts. Dentists shouldn’t embark on such a journey without careful evaluation by a team of professionals who have a solid and longstanding reputation of helping dentists.
