    Forget Shared Practices
    After hearing the billionaire podcast, I lost all respect for Shared Practices. The owners are complete sociopaths.
  • MarathonMills
    Skeptical
    They teach good principles, but I’ve personally heard a lot of horror stories from their past staff members. Stories of practices that suddenly close giving no notice to patients or staff, broken promises, and a general vibe of not being as patient-centered as they claim to be. Again, I feel like the principles they teach are good, but it may be beneficial to have a healthy dose of skepticism due to their real-world actions.

    Perfect Timing
    Changed my life as a pre-owner, and still delivers to bring amazing content information as an owner. Keep inspiring shared practices team!

    Best Podcast for Dental Students and Young Dentists
    The Shared Practices podcast is the best dental podcast in providing high-value, actionable information for young dentists who hope to get into practice ownership at some point in their career. Listening to this podcast will help you get clarity on what exactly you want your career in Dentistry to look like. Not only that, but you will also have a pretty good idea of how to get where you want as quickly and efficiently as possible. Highly recommend to all dental students and young dentists.

    Life Changing
    A big thank you to the SP team. Got hooked in 2019 and with their help, I was able to acquire a practice and grow it significantly. These guys changed my life and I couldn’t be more thankful.

    So much value for free
    I’m a 3rd year dental student and have been listening to SP for more than a year. There is so much valuable content from this podcast, it not only prepares you for ownership, but prepares you to be a top tier owner. I can’t thank Richard, George, and everyone else on the SP team enough for this incredible resource. I recommend this podcast to all my classmates with an interest in ownership.

    Entertaining, insightful and actionable! 🙌
    Whether you’re well established as a practice owner, or just getting started carving out a profitable niche that’s ready to grow - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Richard and the entire SP team do an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of building a thriving business - and life you can be proud of - with leaders who’ve actually experienced success themselves. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

    Inspiring to help plan for the future
    I’m a 3rd year dental student. Like everyone, my time to listen to podcasts is small. I’ve tried a lot of dental podcasts. This with Dr Richard keeps things to the topic, and they stay focused on the discussion at hand. Also I highly recommend listening in chronological order. It feels like I’m learning side by side with Richard.

    The Motivation I Need!
    This podcast is so motivational. As a D4 during these pandemic times, it’s easy to get down by all the craziness happening, but the podcast is light keeping me doing what I love

    Real content
    This is a podcast that provides CONTENT.... not just the leading up to the content. Useable, implementable information. Plus, it’s easy/fun to listen to. Bravo Richard!
  • stoffenhammer11
    Well structured and exactly the things that I want to learn about to own my own practice.
    I really like the way it’s structured and I’m learning a lot about all the business things that you don’t learn in dental school. Great podcast!
  • Brady R S

    Great Podcast!
    I highly recommend Shared Practices podcast, especially if you’re looking to start up your own practice one day!
  • laura.c.kim
    Invaluable podcast!
    This podcast has taught me so much! I don’t think I have be thankful enough! The podcast first switched my mindset into ownership mindset and now I can’t wait to become an owner! The podcast shows you ownership for what it is and I love that! They don’t try to make it seem like it will be easy but they def show that it is worth it if you’re up for a challenge! Dental school doesn’t teach you anything about business but this podcast will! I wish I had listened to this podcast while still in Dental School, because I would’ve have come out a lot more prepared for dentistry even if I wanted to be an associate for the rest of my life!

    Great to learn how to start your own practice!
    This is the podcast to listen to if your a dentist looking to start your own practice. Richard and his guests bring great and honest insight for listeners.
  • D breaker
    new dentist with a dream of owning a practice
    Awesome podcast for someone like me and my wife who are both new dentists and want to own our practice sooner rather than later. Dental school education we received totally lacks business and practice management side of dentistry. We started to look for resources and found this podcast. I'm very excited to listen more and learn more.
  • dr vane
    Awesome advice
    I love this show and how you can approach doctors that are stuck. Very practical great job hosting abd guiding conversation!
  • Epic doesn't even describe it
    Every dentist should listen
    Even though I’m not in private practice yet, this podcast has changed my life from wanting to just stay where I am at to pursuing ownership. The task is daunting, but I feel empowered to take on the task after listening to this podcast. No matter if you’re in corporate, military, private, or a student this podcast will get you on the right path and give you insights on how to be a better dentist.

    Never miss an episode
    This is the only podcast I faithfully listen to every episode. PUWs are my favorite - I’m sad when an episode is over and I have to wait until the next week for more. George is my spirit animal.

  • DDS2015
    Most helpful resource to set direction
    I was in coporate dentistry for about 5 years and just thought starting my own practice. Their podcasts opened my mind and cleared doubts I'd had during my coporate dentistry life. I really recommend this podcast to everyone!
  • dmaxrat
    Wish I would’ve seen this podcast sooner
    I wish I would’ve known about this podcast earlier in my journey as I had already submitted my LOI prior to being introduced to this podcast by a fellow Midwestern classmate. I have gone through the process on my own, but have been able to go back and check on the values and really break them down. A huge thank you for Dr. Richard Low, and Dr. George Hariri for putting together this excellent source for practice ownership.

    Season four fan
    I stumbled across an episode of Practice Underwater and then proceeded to listen to all of them in rapid succession. I’m a 5 year owner and I learned so much about my own practice and mindset struggles by listening to those of others. Thank you and thank you to the docs who shared their practices.

  • massadds
    Extremely helpful!
    I wish I had found this podcast while I was in dental school. I graduated May 2018 knowing that I wanted to one day be an owner. I found this podcast a few months ago. Love how organized the content is and how relatable it is to me as a new grad and new dentist. I’ve recommended this podcast to all dental students and dentists who even have the slightest idea of owning in the future. The content is detailed and thorough! I can’t tell you enough how helpful this podcast is!
  • zahmsa

    This podcast stands apart for its ability to present its content in a condensed and organized way. Thanks to this podcast, my enthusiasm for practice ownership has greatly increased, and my timeline for ownership has accelerated.
  • DrDaveP.
    Seriously needed and extremely valuable!
    I started listening to these guys midway through my residency and wished I would have know about them sooner. The content in here is seriously invaluable and has helped me become more hopeful and motivated for the future of dentistry and becoming a practice owner. Finding the right location/practice is extremely important and these guys have so much to offer in making that happen!

  • Muscletooth
    Value added podcast!
    I’m really happy I found this podcast. I’m only on season 2 but that’s been the most helpful for me because I’m in the process of transitioning into private practice. I loved going through the valuation process for different practice types and all the great resources.
  • autocitysd.com
    Very informative, a lot of awesome tips.
    My wife and I are working on opening our own practice and while there are still pretty substantial amount of unknowns, but after listening to this podcast my confidence level went up and I don’t feel as scared and hopeless. Keep up the good work Docs!
