Our Transition Advisors

Michael S. Furlong

Michael S. Furlong

CEO & Founder · Territory: Southeast (FL, GA)

Mike founded 1st Med Transitions after honing his M&A and transition expertise as Director of Practice Lending at 1st Med Financial, a boutique medical practice finance firm. There, working alongside industry brokers, he saw a smarter way to sell a practice — and built the digital marketing system and streamlined, technology-driven process that defines the firm today. That approach lets 1st Med substantially cut costs and pass the savings on, with sellers typically saving 40–60% in commissions versus traditional dental brokers. Mike holds B.S. degrees in Finance and Management Information Systems from the University of Central Florida.
