|  Edwin Parks, CDT, founder of Practice Management Associates and a Licensed Real Estate Salesman in the States of Alabama and Tennessee has appraised and brokered dental practices for five years. For over 20 years he has served the dental community through his ownership of a commercial dental laboratory in Huntsville, Alabama. | |
| ||
| Ed is certified by the National Board for Certification as a Certified Dental Technician, certified in Ceramics. His laboratory is a member of the National Association of Dental Laboratories, the Southeastern Conference of Dental Laboratories, and the Dental Laboratory Association of Alabama. | ||
| ||
| Ed has held the positions of Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President, and is currently President-Elect of the Dental Laboratory Association of Alabama. | ||
| ||
| Having worked closely with so many dentists through the years, Ed is recognized by the dental community as an individual of the highest integrity with a firm grasp of the mechanics for successful purchases and sales. He was spending a great deal of time consulting in that area, so in 1994 he, along with Austin Hornbuckle, founded Practice Management Associates. At that time he began to turn the day-to-day operation of his laboratory over to his two sons-in-law. | ||
| ||
| Ed is a member of the Practice Valuation Study Group, a national organization of professional practice valuators and brokers. He has presented programs to GPR participants at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry, to senior dental students, and to dental study groups. | ||
| ||
| Ed feels that one of the most useful, and possibly least thought about service he provides is that of providing a codicil to a dentist's will, whereby upon his/her death, Ed is given authority to run the practice until it can be sold. This gives the spouse some sense of security while at the same time improving the chances of keeping the practice value higher until it can be sold. | ||
| ||
| Ed will be happy to sit down with you, at no charge, to explore ways he may serve you. You can be assured that any disscussion will be confidential. | ||
| ||
| If you would like to discuss any of these services with Ed, you may reach him at: Practice Management Associates P.O. Box 3 Huntsville, AL 35804 phone: 256.536.0898 or 800.287.0678 email: pma101@hiwaay.net | ||
