The prospect of workplace change can be a scary one, especially when that change is a potential sale of the practice. One Firstline reader ask us for help:

Practice management expert Brian Conrad, CVPM, says not so fast. If you have honest conversations with the current owners and do your research, you might find that this is a change for the better and that the big scary corporation is interested in more than profitthey're interested in you.
