The Shift Every Overworked GP Needs to Make

Ever feel like you are working your tail off trying to be the “super GP” who does everything, but the practice still feels heavier than it should?

That is exactly what I dive into with Dr. Alex Sharp on this week’s episode. He went from associate, to super GP, to full arch focus, and now to CEO of a 40-location denture and implant group.

Here are three quick takeaways you can use right now:

1. Clarify what you enjoy

   • Scan last week’s schedule

   • Circle what felt fun, not draining

   • Notice where patients light up and results are strong

2. Big cases need different marketing

   • Full arch and big implant cases rarely come from your recall base

   • These patients are often avoidant, embarrassed, or skeptical

   • Define your ideal high-value patient and speak to their fears and goals

3. Grow your team with “trust but verify”

   • Ask key team members how they want to grow over the next 1 to 3 years

   • Give them non-clinical responsibilities that move the practice forward

   • Stay involved early so small mistakes do not become big problems

If your practice does not quite fit you anymore, this episode will give you a different way to think about your next chapter. Listen to the full conversation here:
