Sarah Chen

Biography

Sarah Chen has spent seven years covering healthcare and dental practice financing for business publications and financial advisory firms. Before moving into financial journalism, she worked as a practice management consultant helping dental graduates navigate their first acquisitions. That hands-on background informs how she evaluates lenders — she reads the fine print that new practice owners often miss. Sarah focuses on dental practice acquisition loans, SBA programs for healthcare professionals, and the associate-to-owner transition. She updates rate data monthly using direct lender sources and tracks changes in dental practice valuations.
