Why work with me?
I know what it’s like to be a patient. I know what’s it’s like to manage a practice.
After surviving three car accidents in three months, I had almost given up hope of getting better. Eight months later, I was sitting in yet another doctor’s office waiting to be processed through their system… being treated like a problem instead of a person. It was then that I finally said to myself – there’s got to be a better way. Well, as it turns out, there was a much better way. But I had to invent it myself.
When I found the doctor who saved my life, I made it my mission to create the patient experience I had longed for on my journey back to health. I began working in his office, and in the 18 years that I managed that clinic, I implemented systems to create more efficiency, standard operating procedures to generate more predictable income, and procedures that resulted in an amazing patient experience to generate a highly referral-based practice.
Today, as a consultant, I approach the unique challenges you face as a business owner from the perspective of both a patient and a practitioner.
