When Dr. Jay Nelson faced the prospect of selling his Winter Park practice, the same principles that had guided him for 37 years of practice would also lead the transition process.
“I always worked with two guiding principles—integrity and professionalism, and Paul encompassed both of these from the get-go.”
Following the referral of a friend and colleague, Dr. Nelson placed his confidence in Dr. Paul Rang, and with the assistance of Paul and ADS Florida, transitioned his practice in two months. “I was fully prepared for it to take maybe a year or two, but Paul found the right successor in Dr. Peter Kelly in two months.” Of utmost importance to Dr. Nelson was the philosophy of practice of his successor; he wanted his patients to be not only accepting, but welcoming of a new practitioner. Paul not only understood this desire but shared Dr. Nelson’s desire to find someone who embodied similar ethics and practices as Dr. Nelson. “I believed in doing what was ethical and right by my patient, not what would make me the most money, and I could tell Paul was focused on doing what was ethical and right by me, his client.”
Dr. Nelson and Dr. Kelly spent hours talking before any decisions were made, and Dr. Nelson has no doubt that Dr. Kelly was the absolute ideal successor, and that Paul and ADS Florida were the ideal partners. “I have no regrets. Paul was professional, knowledgeable, and I had the utmost confidence in him from day one. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. In addition, I know Dr. Kelly and my patients are thriving. I visit the building weekly and can see the success of the transition in person every week.”
