“A true professional and an honest man in helping with the transition to civilian practice.”

“After trying (and ultimately failing) for over 10 years to recruit my own associate / partner, Andy successfully found me not just one, but two extremely well qualified associated in a matter of only a few months. He was (and is) there for help and support every step of the way and certainly delivers on everything he promises. I would highly recommend his firm to anyone interested in expanding their practice. What a great investment I made!”
– Mark Mueller, D.D.S.
“In my 20+ years of dental experience, Andy is by far the most resourceful, timely, well respected recruiter I have come across. I feel confident in his abilities that any open position requiring a dentist would be best filled by using him as a resource.”

“I recently worked with Andy on a transaction in the Milwaukee area and came away impressed. Unlike most brokers he understands valuation concepts and tax law. This makes it much easier to negotiate a deal with someone. He's a great advocate for his clients, but he also does them a great service by offering them great advice and realistic expectations. I would recommend Andy without hesitation to anyone selling their practice.”
–Michael Bark, C.P.A.
“My experience with Andy and Edge Dental Recruiting has been a successful one. He listened to me and what my concerns were. He then found a perfect fit for me that not only worked for the employer, but also for me as a candidate. Andy cares about making sure both parties get what they want so that a successful, long term arrangement can be made. Andy persistently worked for me to get me to a situation I am thrilled with. He's very easy to work with, available to answer questions, and takes a personal interest in his clients. I would and have recommended Andy to several of my friends.”

“Andy is wonderful to work with. He helped me find a situation that fit my family’s needs. He’ll be honest with you about everything. (In 19 years of dentistry, I’ve found that’s far too rare.) He’ll tell you exactly what he believes is best in helping you find a great match and will then help you go out and do it. Thanks Andy.”
–Joseph Van Cleve, D.D.S.
"The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Andy Lemkuhl is he is a man of his word. I have known Andy for three years and when I learned he started his own consulting company, I was certain I would utilize his services and confident he would deliver the best practice opportunity for me and my family. He has not disappointed. Andy was always available, followed through on every proposal, and took the necessary time to make sure the fit was correct. I never felt Andy was "just making a deal"; he treated me with respect. I am a young dentist, and I promise that whether you are retiring or just out of school, Andy will do what is right for you. I have recommended Andy to many of my colleagues, and will continue to do so. Thank you Andy."

Andy is great to work with and I would refer him to anyone!"
