"WOW! Your appraisal report was amazing.
It was a pleasure to read. I ended up buying
the practice for very near the value you quoted. The seller ended
up getting anther appraiser's opinion and they commented
that your work was excellent and proposed a value very close to
the one you suggested. I also used the appraisal to help secure
a loan from the bank. They too were impressed with the quality and
conclusions, and I was approved quickly. So now I am the happy new
owner of my own practice. Things are going well.
Patrick O'Neal M.D.
"My experience with Professional Management and
Marketing and specifically with Keith Borglum was eye opening. The
report that I got about the appraisal for a buy-in allowed me to make
a very confident and informed decision. The aspect that I was most
pleased about was the fact that he not only produced the report, but
also gave me his honest and personal appreciation of the business
I was about to join. I am positive that this consultation has been
some of the best money spent in my professional career".
Juan Carlos Rodriguez, M.D.
"The owners (of our) practice commented several times at how
thorough and well-composed the appraisal was."
Michael Park M.D.
"I recently sold my Family Practice. My consultant
was Keith Borglum. My experience was excellent in every way. First
I found a medical practice broker here, with fancy offices, a big
team, and a very fancy price. Then my prospective buyer found Keith
on the internet, and it’s one of the things I liked about
her: she shopped until she found excellent quality at an excellent
price. We both knew of Keith from the articles he’d written
in the Family Practice Management journal, and we talked to him
by phone. He convinced us that he could do a good job without seeing
the practice, and would walk us through the myriad details that
needed to be addressed. If we still had questions at the end, we
could take the data we had collected with his help and present it
for review to the high-priced firm, paying them only to render an
opinion on work we’d already done. We ended up just accepting
Keith’s valuation, because he asked us for so much detail
that we both knew by the end we’d discussed and agreed on
every possible item. She had her lawyer write up the contracts in
simple English, I had my lawyer review them all, and we signed them.
With the wisdom of Solomon, never taking sides, Keith would always
find a solution that we could agree on. He charged by the hour,
and he charged far less than the big brokerage firm, or either of
our lawyers.
Keith was always prompt, professional, calm, kind and gentle. He
clearly knew his job and had done it many times before. His manner
inspired confidence. Every case is different, and your mileage may
vary, as they say, but you may absolutely rely on what this man
says.
I recommend him."
Steve Watson, MD
"Thank you so much for your prompt, professional,
intelligent response, and for all of your help in this matter. I
have passed your name on to a few residents."
Thomas R. Elmer, Jr MD
"Thank you for your very thorough and
organized report. I appreciate all the thought that went into it."
Anne Sacks-Berg M.D.
"PMM provided a comprehensive analysis and valuation
of the practice we acquired. They always acted professinally, entheusiastically,
and were attentive to my specific needs. They are true experts in
their field".
Eitan Homa MD
"Your appraisal was spot-on with all of my
concerns and it could not have gone better for me than to have your
professional advice."
David Woods, MD
"Our practice found it necessary to call PMM to
perform an appraisal of our office. Mr. Borglum was courtesous and
very willing to answer any questions we had while doing his initial
assessment, while explaining what was needed to perform an accurate
appraisal. In addition, he made every effort not to intrude on our
ongoing schedule for the day. After he was done inspecting our office,
we found him to be very patient, as he waited several weeks for
us to return additional information he requested in order to complete
the appraisal. We are very satisfied with Mr. Borglum's services
and the service or PMM, and would be very willing to use their services
again."
Linda Harold, Manager for Drs. Conception and
Lim

that is probably what counts! Your evaluation helped us both to

and professional. I will refer all my colleagues to you."
Basim Abdelkarim MD
"I can highly recommend Keith Borglum of Professional
Management and Marketing. Informal discussions with a two-man ophthalmology
group in my community led us to consider a merger. With Mr. Borglum's
encouragement, we entered serious negotiations. There were many
items to consider. As issues arose, Keith was always readily available
to provide a range of reasonable options and specific suggestions
to create a win-win solution. He pointed out areas of concern to
him, and provided succinct, no-nonsense replies to my questions.
Keith also clearly indicated if he thought something was outside
of his area of expertise, for example, when I should consult my
accountant regarding the tax implications of a sale and compensation
formulas.
Mr. Borglum's billing practices were fair and well documented.
I am now 16 months into what is proving to be a very successful
merger, meeting our expectations with no real surprises. I feel
indebted to Keith for helping us to create a framework and final
documents that have proven to be well tailored to our needs."
Lee Shahinian, Jr., M.D
"Your thoroughness and professionalism from the
purchase of the practice to the start-up information you provided

Kevin May, M.D.
"It is our pleasure to give a strong recommendation
for Keith Borglum of PMM. This past year Keith's indepth practice
analysis was invaluable to us when bringing a new physician on board
to our busy and growing practice. From practice valuation to the
final management services agreement, Keith's expertise in medical
practice served to give us clear and accurate assessment of the
details and management of the new arrangement."
J. Timothy Murphy, M.D.
"It was my pleasure to work with Keith Borglum
of PMM on the appraisal of my father's practice. My father passed
away and my family felt that we needed to vlaue to the practice
immediately. Keith was very professional and organized, as well
as sympathetic to our situation. He also gave me invaluable advice,
and called and checked-up to make sure everything was to my satisfaction."
Kelli Cox, for the estate of Frederick Cox,
M.D.
"I have been very pleased with Mr. Borglum's
work. His appraisal report was detailed, thorough, and easy to follow.
Following the appraisal. Mr. Borglum has been readily available

with PMM early on in the process."

"First, I want to thank you for your help
and contribution to our 2005-6-7 Business Reference
Guides (on business valuation for brokers). We always
find it gratifying that people like yourself are willing to take
the time to give back to our profession. We realize that you do
receive telephone calls from our readers asking for additional information.
We have heard nothing but praise from our readers about their "calls
for help." We also know that some of these people may be from
outside professions such as business appraisers, CPAs and lawyers.
While they may be outside our profession technically, your help
does reflect on our profession and makes them aware that business
intermediaries are indeed quite knowledgeable. The entire business
brokerage profession owes you a debt of gratitude for not only contributing
to this year’s Reference Guide, but for that telephone call
in which you helped a 'colleague.' Thank you!"
