TestimonialsWe are very grateful for 1st Med Financial. We are sure it was God who sent them our way. A year ago with my husband, we went through the painful process of applying through several banks directly to purchase a practice of similar value and similar sales. If we only knew about 1st Med then, we could have avoided this painful experience. At that time were denied 4 times... If you think you can save a couple of bucks, let me tell you... We got a great rate, we got 100% financing and some working capital... What else would you need?
Also... They will guide you through the application process. After our previous year experience, it all seemed so easy this time. They worked very efficiently, and got us the loan we needed in order to achieve the dream of having our own practice. Once again, THANKS guys! Michael, David... You guys are AWESOME... You have no idea how grateful we are. We really wish you the best... You are impacting people lives! Thank you and 100 times Thank you! Cristina Polit, DVM & Alfonso Reyes
It was a pleasure working with you and everyone at 1st Med Financial during this process. I would strongly recommend someone taking on a business venture for the first time to utilize the expertise and know-how you & your team have to offer. From tweaking my business plan to helping me with financial projections, you have certainly been there to aid me on the way to securing my business loan and ultimately seeing my dream of opening my own pharmacy come to fruition.
You and David Goldstein were always there when I had questions or was uncertain about which way to proceed and it really made a huge difference in this endeavor. Thanks again for all of your support & expertise! Your assistance and persistence will not be soon forgotten! Thanks so much!"
I am Jamal Jones, C.E.O. of Dr. Jo'Ann Todd and Associates O.D., P.L.L.C. Traditional banks would not lend to us to purchase our business without 25% down. As a licensed Optometry Doctor for less than 5 years, we didn't have that kind of money lying around. I did an internet search for optometry lending and up popped 1st Medical Financial!
They approved us within a few days for 100% financing pluse working capital! Mike Furlong and his team worked hard to help us achieve our dream! Thanks to 1st Med Financial! We are greatful! Dr. JoAnn Todd, OD & Jamal Jones, CEO
I strongly recommend MIke Furlong @ 1st Med Financial for financing of any kind and refinancing of debt in particular. He was very easy to work with, always accessible and responded immediately to all of my concerns.
Mike was relentless in trying to meet all of my financial needs. I feel like I made a new friend. It was a pleasure to work with him."
We recently closed a practice acquisition loan and a real estate loan with Mike Furlong and 1st Med Financial. Having shopped the deal with several local banks and other medical lending institutions, we knew that the conditions and circumstances of the deal were far from ideal.
Mike provided the insight and experienced needed to not only obtain financing, but at rates and terms that far surpassed our expectations. Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for medical financing."
We knew that obtaining a loan to refinance our practice, purchase a building, and obtain a construction loan to remodel it would be difficult. Our local banks wouldn't work with us.
Mike Furlong and 1st Med Financial helped us reach our goal. Throughout the process Mike responded quickly to our questions and worked hard as an advocate on our behalf with the bank. While the process was long, and there were issues to overcome along the way, Mike got it done. It was great to know that he was only a phone call away. We're looking forward to moving into our new location soon and enjoying it for years to come." Dr. Amy Schwartz, OD - Family Vision Center
He will be the first and last I will contact the next time I need a dental practice loan. From start to finish it was also the shortest transaction of this type I've had. Thanks Mike, Dr. Galen Kellenberger, DDS - Peculiar Dental Care I will be eternally grateful and hope if you are ever in need of my services you will give me a call. Thank you again." Dr. Patricia O'Kelley-Hughes, OD - Eyedok, LLC With my busy schedule, you made it easy to get you the necessary data to complete this business transaction in a short period of time. I appreciate your service and professionalism." Michael F. Quint,OD - Quint Optometry Practice I would recommend 1st Med Financial without reservation." Dr. Kirk Poldek, DDS - Poldek Family Dental As is sometimes the case, there was a glitch as we neared closing, that was in the hands of a 3rd party...but instead of waiting around, Michael looked at every angle and helped navigate us through the process until we secured the closing. As a business owner, I get calls every day from people who have the next greatest thing to help my business...I never trust those calls. The call from Michael was different...it was professional, believable and most importantly actually spoke to the needs of our business. Thank you Mike for your help during these weeks. As a side note, every claim made by Mike about funding, rates, and the fact that there would be no out of pocket was delivered on." Chris & Scott Lindsey-Pittman, PharmD - Lindsey's Pharmacy Mike worked diligently throughout the entire process to make sure all of the proper steps were taken in the process of applying for and obtaining our loan. In the end, we were able to secure the loan and acquire the practice. Thanks Mike for making the process of chasing down our dream not only doable, but overall painless. I would recommend Mike Furlong and 1st Med Financial to anyone and would not hesitate to use their services in the future." Dr. Jeff Makowksi, DVM - Cedars Veterinary Hospital Thanks for all your help and support. I am looking forward to do more business with you in the future." Dr. Loc Bui , DDS - Everest Dental Corporation We were beginning to think that getting a business loan was impossible, even with excellent credit. We were on the verge of giving up on our dream when we came across Mike’s company. Within two weeks, Mike had found a financing option for us that far exceeding our expectations. There is no way that we could have secured a loan without Mike and 1st Med Financial. Mike is dedicated, thorough, and returns phone calls promptly. Throughout the lending process, he consistently called to update us on the status of our loan. He truly stands out in the lending world. We highly recommend Mike and 1st Med Financial. Thank you for caring so much about the success of our business." Clint Gentry, PharmD and Amberly Gentry, PharmD – Gentry Pharmacy There's no stronger, more loyal, or more determined an advocate than Mike. I would have never rehabilitated my credit and navigated the detailed SBA requirements without Mike's excellent leadership. Mike made himself available, took the time to listen, and proved to be an All-World closer. After experiencing the level of service Mike offers, I've had to reassess my understanding of the word "excellence." Mike's the best and he has my highest recommendation." Jack Von Bulow, DDS - Temple City Dental Throughout the process, there was never a call or email that went unanswered, and in many cases our answers and needed correspondence occurred outside of what would have been for anyone else, "normal business hours". I'm sure that the lending environment for small business has improved, but I'm likewise comfortable that without Michael Furlong's assistance and shepherding the process, we would have given up on our expansion plans. We can't thank Michael and the 1st Med Team enough for their efforts on our behalf, or recommend his services highly enough." Dr. Paul McGraw, DDS, FAGD / Nancy Newhouse, DDS, MS - Newhouse Periodontics To top this all he never requested any up front fees or application deposit or any written commitment from me. 1st Med Financial has changed my feeling and experience about loan process. I would highly recommend Mike Furlong and 1st Med Financial to anyone without any hesitation. He is a superb, trustworthy and very reliable person. He is number one in my book. If you are looking for financing your practice and serious about it, contact 1st Med or Michael Furlong and you will NOT REGRET it. Thank You Mike for all you have done and your services are highly appreciated." Dr. Anil K Agarwal, DDS, MS, FAGD, FICOI, FACO, DICOI - WInterset Dental Care Dr. Patrick Capp, DDS If you are looking at financing for a practice purchase I believe Mike Furlong and 1st Med Financial can help you succeed. Simply stated, his opinion and information helped me save money. I will always be grateful." Dr. Stuart Sobol, DVM - Dr. Dan's Animal Clinic He was able to take alot of stress off of my back as I started the process of buying the practice that I had worked at for the last 6 1/2 years at the end of November and was able to close before the end of the year, as well as being 6 months pregnant. He helped move things through with the bank and lawyers to make as smooth as a transition as possible. Very much appreciated all his time in making a normally stressful situation a breeze. " Dr. DeAnn Kumm, DVM - Animal Emergency Clinic I haven't met someone who has been so willing to help get a loan funded. If there are any questions I can help answer, please call. Mike has my information. My website is www.smartdentalcare.net." Dr. Joshua Smith, DDS - Smart Dental Care I would wholeheartedly endorse Mike Furlong and 1st Med Financial." Dr. Robert W. Albertelli, DDS - Rocky Mountain Dental |
