I’m a pediatrician with nearly 30 years of experience and have owned my private practice in Sebastian, Florida, for almost 20 years. It was a small, personal practice, and deciding to sell was a big step. I wasn’t at retirement age, but I was looking for a way to step back and find better balance in my life—spending more time with my children, supporting my aging parents, and exploring other professional and personal interests. At first, I thought I could handle the sale myself. Like most physicians who run their own practice, I was used to managing everything. I even tried reaching out through my own connections but quickly realized I didn’t want to sell to a large chain, corporation, or hospital system. My practice was built on relationships, and I wanted to ensure my patients and staff transitioned smoothly. That’s when I reconnected with Shaun at Strategic Medical Brokers. From the beginning, Shaun and his team made me feel like my practice was their top priority. Even though I was a solo practitioner, I never felt like I received any less attention than a larger, multi-physician practice. Throughout the process, I kept thinking, ‘I’m so glad Shaun is handling this,’ because I was still focused on patient care and my daily responsibilities. He took care of everything, making what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and even seamless. One of my biggest concerns was finding the right buyer—someone who shared my values and would continue the kind of care my patients were used to. Shaun understood that. He wasn’t just trying to ‘close a deal’—he genuinely cared about my goals and worked to ensure I felt confident every step of the way. In the end, not only did the sale happen faster than expected, but it was also the right fit for me, my practice, and my patients. Looking back, I can confidently say that hiring Strategic Medical Brokers was worth every penny. Physicians might hesitate when thinking about commissions and costs, but trust me—it’s an investment in your peace of mind and the future of your practice. Now, I’m enjoying this new chapter, spending more time with my family and pursuing other professional interests while still practicing on my own terms. If you’re considering selling your practice, I absolutely recommend Shaun and Strategic Medical Brokers 100%—they truly make a difference. Read more

If you are considering selling your medical practice, you should seriously consider working with Shaun Rudgear and his team at Strategic Medical Brokers (SMB). Shaun and his team are true professionals and experts in every step of the process. They start with a candid and “No B.S.” assessment and valuation of the practice. It was refreshing not to play the game – the artificial inflation of the practice value so they can get

the account, followed by a steady drumbeat of ratcheting down the price once the broker contract is signed. If you don’t like SMB’s initial valuation, shake hands and walk away, no harm, no foul. Once you agree on the realistic asking price, Shaun’s team takes over and is equally impressive and no-nonsense. Their market research is not just thorough; it’s exhaustive, and they truly represent you as the seller, protecting your practice information and filtering out anyone but serious buyers. NDAs must be signed before any information is disclosed. When a potential buyer wants to continue considering your practice, Shaun personally explains the valuation, preps you on interview questions, and graciously hosts the interested parties. However, rest assured you will be involved every step of the way. It is your practice, and you get the final say on all decisions – Shaun’s upfront, meticulous process ensures you are on the same page. We never had a serious issue over marketing or presentation. Suffice it to say his ability to handle closing will prove equally adept and professional. My management team and I greatly appreciated how the SMB team conducted themselves personally and professionally. I wish you luck in selling your practice when the time is right, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you consider hiring Strategic Medical Brokers to represent you. Read more

Thank you so much to Shaun Rudgear and his excellent team at Strategic Medical Brokers. My practice is like my family, and Shaun really understood that and reassured me every step of the way of the selling process. Shaun’s thorough vetting process gave me the confidence to trust that I was making the right decisions to sell, and that I was not putting my financial future at risk. Shaun was always available for questions, and he guided the way through unfamiliar territory. Shaun also had the knowledge to negotiate with the lender on the buyer’s behalf to make the sale happen. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of the process. I highly recommend working with Strategic Medical Brokers if you are looking to sell a practice you worked hard to build and want to get the maximum value for it. Read more

From start to finish we felt you were our advocate. You proved to be trustworthy. We were prepared for each step of the process as a result of your guidance, knowledge and expertise. We felt like your guidance protected us from future issues. Communication is imperative in the sale of a practice and you exceeded expectations. We felt our business and us personally were well cared for in the process. We think your skill level is expert!!

We had an excellent experience working with Strategic Medical Brokers during the sale of our medical practice. From start to finish, their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and deeply familiar with the nuances of medical practice transactions. Their team of Shaun, Kathy, and Vanessa provided the most professional experience anyone could ask for during this challenging process. They guided us through valuation, positioning, buyer outreach, and negotiations with clarity and professionalism, ensuring we understood every step of the process. They helped us every step of the way through the due diligence process (couldn’t have made it through this part without them). Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate issues made a complex transaction feel organized and manageable. Most importantly, they advocated strongly for our interests and helped us achieve a successful outcome that aligned with both our financial and operational goals. There are always difficult conversations with buyers and SMB always put our interests first. For me personally, the best part of the process was matching our practice with the best possible buyers that were the best fit. Other brokerages are likely to want to get the transaction closed as quickly as possible, no matter who the buyer is. But this company truly cares and makes you feel like you are the only practice they are working with. If you’re considering selling or transitioning a medical practice, I highly recommend Strategic Medical Brokers. They truly deliver expertise you can trust. We could have never done this process on our own. Shaun, you and your team are amazing people and I will be forever grateful to you and your team! Read more

Choosing Shaun means you are placing the selling of your practice in good hands. During our initial and subsequent meetings, he was very upfront and professional in addressing all our questions and concerns. Shaun created a more streamlined and stress free experience by providing superb services: marketing the practice to carefully vetted buyers, guiding us on how to respond to potential buyers to assure a more favorable outcome, steering us on how to maximally showcase our office, as well as connecting us with the right lawyer to review LOIs and contracts. We especially liked that he had a wide network of potential buyers reaching all the way out of state to finally connect us with the “right” one. Thank you, Shaun, for a job well done! Read more

The idea of selling the practice was a daunting one for us and we didn’t even know where to start or what to expect. Luckily, we received a flyer in the mail some years ago from Strategic Medical Brokers. We held on to that flyer for a year or two and we are so thankful that we did. Shaun and his team are true professionals and experts in this field. Even though the process is a huge undertaking, they made it as painless as possible. They were on top of every detail and reassuring us when we had doubts and worries. They were in constant contact with us and we were always able to get in touch with them. Even over the holiday season, which is when our practice actually sold. We thank them for guiding us and holding our hand through the whole process. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in selling their practice. We couldn’t have done it without them. Read more

Strategic Medical Brokers was instrumental in the successful sale of my medical practice. As a solo direct primary care physician, I was initially unsure whether my practice would be a good fit for a brokerage process. Not only did the sale occur sooner than I anticipated, but it also closed at a significantly higher value than I had expected. Shaun was professional, transparent, and honest throughout every step of the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Strategic Medical Brokers to other physicians considering a practice sale.
