Group Practice Accelerator

We’re celebrating 300 episodes of the Group Practice Accelerator Podcast!🎉

To mark this milestone, we’re bringing you clips from some of our favorite recent episodes, all centered around one big question: Is your group practice ready for exit?

Whether selling is on your radar now or years down the road, these conversations offer forward-thinking founders practical insights to help you build a stronger, more valuable, and more exit-ready practice.

Here’s to 300 episodes - and to everything you’re building next!

Doctor development isn’t just a clinical initiative, it’s a growth strategy poised for liftoff. 

In the fifth and final installment of The Freedom Formula, host Jamie West Falasz and Polaris Clinical Coach and group practice founder, Dr. Vivek Solanki, unpack how an intentional doctor development program can transform providers, amplify production and increase freedom, all in an episode loaded with tremendous growth opportunity.

Listen in as Jamie and Vivek discuss a recent client who experienced dramatic growth in just the first three months, and what it takes to sustain a successful program without the founder constantly stepping in. Because freedom doesn’t mean staying tied to the day-to-day; it’s about creating a strong bench of confident providers that make a practice more scalable, transferable, and valuable to a future buyer.

Because the goal isn’t simply to increase production. 

It’s to build better doctors within a practice that can perform without you - and is worth more because of it.

Selling your group practice is a freedom milestone, but it's not the end of the journey. 

And with a big liquidity event in play, that journey just got a lot more exciting.

In Part IV of The Freedom Formula series, host Jamie West Falasz sits down with Dr. Jonny Withananchchi, founder of the Walk of Wealth, to explore how docs can turn a successful exit into lasting financial freedom. From investment portfolios and tax planning to passive investing and real estate opportunities, they discuss the strategies that help providers put their wealth to work before, during and after exit. 

Listen in to hear key investing tactics that can fuel growth as you transition from doctor to investor, and create a financial future built on the freedom to choose what’s next!

Sometimes saying GO is the hardest part.

You’ve thought it through; you’ve built a valuable business and a legacy to be proud of …but that next BIG step toward personal freedom? Not so easy.

Selling your practice is more than a financial transaction, it's a personal transition that will shape the next chapter of your life. In Part III of The Freedom Formula series, host Jamie West Falasz and Polaris’ Nan Meehan share a practical to-do list to help group practice founders confidently prepare for both the sale itself and the life that follows, with an eye toward creating the freedom that accompanies choice in the next phase.

From preparing your business and saying Go! to creating meaningful freedom for your post-sale future, Jamie and Nan explore the steps that can help founders maximize value while minimizing stress during an exciting new chapter.

As heard in group practices every day...

"I'll get to that tomorrow."

No. No, you won't.

Because tomorrow brings another full schedule of patients and priorities, and that task you put off will just join the growing pile of things you swore you'd finish before going home. Add it to the even longer list of things that keep you up at night; keep you from fully enjoying time away from the business; keep you from being present with family and friends.

That’s NOT freedom.

In Part II of The Freedom Formula series on the Group Practice Accelerator podcast, we move beyond vision to explore the operational and compliance systems that create peace of mind within a strong, scalable group practice. Join Jamie as she welcomes Done Desk co-founder & CEO, Cary Smith back to the show for a necessary “in the weeds” chat about the foundational processes and infrastructure that support sustainable growth and freedom. From team accountability to risk management, this episode breaks down the operational How, Who & When that allow your practice to run more efficiently, so you and your team can spend less time putting out fires and more time enjoying life.

Personal freedom is one of the biggest reasons healthcare entrepreneurs start their own businesses - but for many, it remains just out of reach.

What would happen to your business if you stepped away for a month? Would your P&L take a hit? Would everything come to a standstill? Or would your organization continue to thrive; not missing a beat?

In Part I of The Freedom Formula, Jamie welcomes Polaris Founder & CEO, Diwakar Sinha, back to the show to explore what it really takes to build a healthcare business that creates true freedom. Taking a macro view, this week’s discussion guides listeners to reflect on desired outcomes, starting points and solid structure; all built to carry founders through their growth journey while creating freedom from and for the business.  

Listen to the full episode and learn why personal freedom isn't about working less - it's about creating the right business model around what YOU want. Whether your goal is to take an uninterrupted vacation, transition to CEO, spend more time with family, or simply stop feeling chained to your schedule, this conversation will challenge you to redefine your own version of freedom.

For multi-location dental groups, equipment isn't just an expense, it's a strategic asset that directly impacts productivity, patient care, and profitability. In this week’s episode of the Group Practice Accelerator, we explore how TotalOp, the innovative partnership between Darby, DENTALEZ, and Uptime Health, is changing the way practices approach equipment investment and cost containment.

Join Jamie as she welcomes industry leaders as they discuss why more organizations are moving toward a predictable subscription model that bundles premium dental equipment, preventive maintenance, repairs, smart equipment monitoring, and lifecycle management into one simple monthly payment. Listen in as they examine how connected technology helps reduce costly downtime, improves operational consistency across multiple locations, and gives greater visibility into equipment performance before problems disrupt patient care.
