I just wanted to thank you for all of your support and efforts. You are truly the best out there! I mean that most sincerely. I was incredibly impressed with your skill and your ability to communicate promptly with me and our third party. This is a combination that seems rare in today’s service industry. I have heard countless horror stories from other residents and their experiences with different companies in your line of work and I have to say, I definitely lucked out by having you on my team!

Dr. Jeremiah Danel

Danel Orthodontics

Since 2003, Mr. Derek S. Leonard and American Business Consulting have provided me and my practice with invaluable consultation as I transitioned from a 2nd year dental specialist student to the ownership of my first specialty practice. Mr. Leonard was solely instrumental with the identification and negotiation of a brand new built-out specialist facility that was previously vacated by the proposed lease during the economic downturn that essentially saved me more than $180,000.

Perfect Smile Orthodontics

I received information regarding ABC from a colleague and friend who is an orthodontist. I started communicating with Derek about 2 years before I was ready to open an office. He has been very patient with me and helped me to choose a very good location for my office. ABC has been with me every step of the way and eliminated a lot of the stress associated with opening an office. I think that Derek is not only a great business person, but I find him to be honest and trustworthy as well.
