Share Practice

Share Practice originated in 2016 when Dr. Richard Low launched the Shared Practices Podcast. His goal was to create a resource for dentists to discover and implement best practices for practice ownership and management. Dr. Low's own journey from dental school to practice ownership, which included producing a podcast for Howard Farran during his senior year, fueled his passion for mentorship within the dental community. The podcast quickly gained traction, becoming a highly-rated practice management podcast in the dental industry.

The business evolved from a media entity into a consulting firm in 2020. This transition was driven by the growing audience and the collaboration with other dentists who shared a similar vision. Dr. George Hariri joined Dr. Low in 2017, and together they began consulting, focusing on patient-centric practice building. Subsequently, Dr. Alex Sharp and Dr. Matt Guarino joined, bringing expertise in team culture and streamlined operations. The company now operates as a consulting services provider and a Dental Support Organization (DSO) named Shared Practices Group (SPG), which is 100% dentist-owned and operated.

The firm's business model is centered on providing coaching and consulting services to dental students, associates, and current practice owners. They offer a range of services including one-on-one coaching, practice buyer representation, mastermind groups, and legal services specifically for dentists through their division, Shared Practices Legal. Revenue is generated through these consulting and legal service fees. Their approach is data-driven, utilizing an analytics-based methodology to foster predictable growth for their clients' practices by analyzing benchmarks and key performance indicators.
