Many positive aspects of the experience. It was great having Lori not only as a dental coach, but as something of a personal friend and life coach as well. Masterminds were extremely fruitful and included many things that I learned for the business that weren't necessarily from SP coaches or analytics. Lori went above and beyond in helping me with the office. When things were at its most dire, losing $10k a month four months in a row and losing my front office with no end in sight, she helped me find excellent staff that helped our office move forward stronger than ever. Without Shared Practices I would have likely declared bankruptcy in late 2021 / early 2022 and given up, but having someone in my corner helped the office get through tough times and outgrow rapidly increasing rent, expenses, and payroll in a post-covid period. A positive about SP is that it gave me a vision that I would not have found on my own. Analytics on how I could improve the office, and went to open more hygiene. Lore gave me clear vision of things to improve such as diagnosis, fluoride, and perio. Unfortunately, hygienists who felt irreplaceable, stubborn front desks, and a spoiled assistant made me feel like I didn't have the leadership needed to truly make the changes I wanted in this practice (especially the hygienists), and the bright optimism and excitement I had once was lost Can't thank Shared Practices enough for getting me through tough times with this Practice Underwater. We got this thing growing and profitable finally in the past 12 months.

I cannot recommend Shared Practices higher for new practice owners. I purchased a thriving practice 2 years out of school and they helped with the transition, maintaining a strong culture, and now we've added an associate and increased annualized production by $900,000 within a year. My coach, Christie, and the rest of the SP team helped me implement structure, work towards my personal vision, and were were emotionally intelligent and worked well guiding my team and I through the process. Thank you so much!

It was so helpful having someone help me analyze benchmarks and KPIs. I grew my practice significantly and added several team members and an associate. Having a coach gave me the confidence to do so. I also utilized advertisements, templates, systems, etc. that my coach supplied so I didn't have to recreate the wheel. I loved having my coach meet with team members directly as well, especially when training the team how to use new software or implement new systems.

SP coaching has been extremely professional and insightful. I gained valuable knowledge and benefited from the support as I grew and hired several new team members. I was really pleased and plan to continue with coaching for the future.

Christie Larson has been an amazing coach to work with! As a new owner it can be very overwhelming to run the operations of a practice, but having a coach like Christie makes it that much easier. Because of her experience in the dental field, she provided countless advice, structure, and encouragement along the way. She holds you accountable for your goals and vision which I highly value. I appreciate her systemization, attention to detail to analytics, and great personality. Highly recommend working with Christie as a coach for Shared Practices.

I initially heard about Shared Practices through the podcast. As soon as I started listening, I knew that it was going to be exactly what I was looking for. I started listening during dental school, which gave me the knowledge and confidence to guide me through the purchase of my office directly out of school. I was drawn to their attention to detail and willingness to deep dive on topics that I felt a lot of other companies did not. Coaching has been an essential part of my first 9 months of practice ownership, as it gave me an "impartial 3rd party" that helps me make decisions that are right for the practice, myself, and my own unique situation. Coaching is invaluable to me because it gave me someone that had seen many of the "hurdles" that I initially encountered in my practice before. As a result, my practice purchase and transition went much, much smoother than I could have ever hoped. I highly recommend Shared Practices to help anyone develop their practice to the level they desire!

I acquired a $30k/m practice 6 months ago and we doubled our revenue within 6m. At the moment, I work clinically 2 days a week, provide staff training for 1 day a week and my wife/associate dentist works another 2 days a week, Shared Practices helped me build a sustainable system and promoted growth in my practice. My coach has guided me in the right direction and helped me tremendously to understand practice statistics, staff training and implementation. Going from a $30k to a $60k system is very difficult and signing up for the coaching service has made the transition so much easier. I would recommend Shared Practices coaching services for those who look for exponential growth. You will be connected with like-minded talented people across the States, who are willing to share and help you to grow your business.

I am so happy with my experience coaching with Shared Practices. I really enjoy working with my coach, because she provides valuable insight and experience which is coupled with raw data of the practice. I love that my coach schedules meetings with the team so that they can assist with training the team directly. My team has also have really loved having the opportunity to get coached during the week. Since I have started coaching, my overall production is going up and we are finding more lost opportunities. The office is starting to run like a business, and my coach spots problems that I am not even aware of. There is no way I would be able to find the issues that the coach does, as quickly as they do. Being coached is accelerating my profitability and efficiency.

My Shared Practices coach has been an absolute asset for our practice. The coaches have been through what you’re going through and can point out your blind spots. They have the resources to help set up your systems and will meet with your team even without you present (honestly that might be the best thing a coach can do for you). The coach will keep you on track and accountable while moving your practice toward your goals. If you’re on the fence, you should 100% bring one of the Shared Practices coaches on board.

I’m a recent grad and in my first year of practice ownership. Working with Shared Practices coaching has been one of the keys in the success I’ve been able to obtain so far and has given me a great strategic road map going forward. Having someone on your side, with the same mindset as you, IS invaluable.

Working with my Shared Practices coach has been crucial throughout my ownership journey. My coach has helped me have confidence in every decision I make for my practice, whether big or small. She's guided me through tough conversations and prepared me for things I didn't see coming. Having frequent check-ins keeps me on track and is something I need, as it's easy to push things aside when you don't want to face them. I am thankful for the coaching and community I have at Shared Practices and look forward to continuing the path of personal and professional growth alongside them!

I decided to start coaching with Shared Practices after listening to the podcast, getting ready to purchase my first dental practice, knowing it needed to grow, but having no idea how to do it or where to start. I started off working with Suzanne for a brief time as I was doing my due diligence for the practice I ultimately purchased. She was so knowledgeable and patient with all my questions I had. I knew the practice needed some changes, but I had a hard time knowing where to start and how to make those changes happen. Suzanne reassured me that is what they do best and she was right! Once I purchased my practice and was ready for one-on-one coaching, I was paired up with a coach. She has been amazing so far. We have only been working together for about three months, but it honestly feels like we’ve been working together forever. She has become more than just my coach. She is part of our dental team as well as a friend. Traci has pushed me out of my comfort zone to really help me and the practice grow. I have had to make some financial decisions that have put pits in my stomach, but now I am so happy I have made them. I love seeing the growth my practice has had in just four short months and I am super excited to see where we can take this practice in the future. I couldn’t have done it without the Shared Practices coaching program.

Coaching has been wonderful. Not only has my coach helped me gain clarity in my vision for my practice and my life, but she’s been integral to helping execute on the vision and hold me accountable for key growth targets. Would highly recommend!"

“Team meetings with my coach are so impactful. I think that hearing the message from multiple angles, from the perspective of a former Office Manager instead of just the Doctor, helps so much. The meetings are so helpful!”

The number one thing that has contributed to my success (and passion) for the business of dentistry is Shared Practices. I have been a long time podcast listener from the early days before I ever owned a practice. Shared Practices got me excited about the business of dentistry and the possibilities of practice ownership. I was able to use my knowledge gained from SP and help from the SP gurus to purchase my practice. I used SP coaching from Day 1 to avoid many pitfalls and to work through many issues of early practice ownership. I have continued to use SP analytics-based coaching to take my practice from $1.3 mil, 5 ops, 6 employees, to over $3 mil, 10 ops, 20+ employees. I have cut my clinical days and increased my profits. I also continue to benefit from the mastermind community for help and support as well as help through pivotal career decisions. The ROI is there - it's a no brainer to use Shared Practices to ensure your success and fulfillment as a dental practice owner!

I discovered Shared Practices through their podcast. I became intrigued about their practice philosophies because they used an objective, numbers based approach to see where we could improve our practice. The coaching aspect has helped layout the road map to fulfill the vision of our practice. Having Shared Practices by my side has helped me have the confidence and other tools necessary to continue growing our practice in the right direction.

I've been listening to SP since the first season. I've learned so much over the years and can't imagine where I'd be without it. I purchased my practice in 2020 and started coaching at the same time. My coach, Caitlin Embree, is incredible. She's helped me navigate through so many difficult situations. It's invaluable having her perspective of being a team member. I truly appreciate her regular meetings with my OM to help us fulfill my vision. My practice is so different from when I purchased it. It's much more sustainable and our revenue floor is 20% higher in a practice that was already performing very well and near capacity.

I heard about Shared Practices just as I was starting dental school. As both SP and I grew, our visions seemed to align more and more. When I was finally looking for a practice of my own, and having figured out my own vision for my practice, having the support of Shared Practices just made sense. After doing the due diligence for the practice, all the areas of opportunity were explained. That's when I realized that having a coach would really help me stay grounded and not get carried away in making the wrong changes. Having that coach allowed us to almost double the revenue in just over one year of ownership. By the end of the second full year, we'll be ready for an associate. My coach has helped me tremendously to ensure I could get to this point. I like to think I could have figured it out all on my own, but it would not have been worth the headaches, confusion, drama, etc. that would have come with it.

I knew I needed coaching when I purchased my first practice but there were many to choose from. I decided on Shared Practices because to me the company seemed to be the most innovative and had an objective approach to get my solo practice to a profitable group practice. 2 years in and I am very happy with the training and the coaching that I've received. My Shared Practices coach has helped me and my office manager focus on the most important areas of my practice. We grew 164% in our first year! I've now hired a full time associate and we are so happy with the results. Can't recommend Shared Practices enough!
