Advisory for Physicians

Start or buy a medical practice with someone who has done both.

I built one primary care clinic from scratch and acquired two more. Now I help other physicians make the same move with fewer mistakes, less wasted money, and a real plan they can actually execute.

About

Practical advice from inside the practice.

I built one primary care practice from the ground up. Then I acquired two more. Today I still run that group across multiple locations. Whatever step you are about to take, I have already taken it: first concept, lease negotiation, payer credentialing, hiring the first MA, billing setup, closing on an acquisition, surviving the messy first 90 days after taking over a practice.

Along the way I have lived every part of the business. Site selection. Entity setup. Hiring and firing. Billing. Marketing. The patient experience side. The boring operational discipline a small practice needs just to stay profitable. I have also built ancillary service lines that broaden what a primary care practice can offer.

Before medicine I spent more than twenty years in IT, across operations, engineering, and management. That background is the edge I bring to physician clients: practical guidance on the technology that actually boosts operational efficiency, and on the operational levers behind patient communication, retention, marketing, billing, HR, and hiring.

The advice I give comes from steps I have personally taken, and from mistakes I made so you do not have to repeat them.

I advise. You decide. You own the relationships.

Practice Path Advisors is purely an advisory service. I am not a vendor, broker, or law firm. When you need an attorney, lender, billing partner, marketing agency, EHR vendor, or any other tool or service, I will point you to professionals I have worked with and trust. The contracts and the relationships stay yours. I do not take referral fees, so the recommendations stay honest.

Why Me

Why physicians work with Practice Path Advisors.

01

Owner operator

I am running clinics today. My advice reflects what is actually working this quarter, not a deck I wrote years ago.

02

Both sides of the deal

Built one practice from scratch, acquired two more. I have seen the playbook from both sides.

03

Revenue beyond visits

Practical guidance on ancillary and alternate revenue lines that fit a primary care footprint.

04

Tech & operations edge

Twenty years in IT operations and management before medicine. Technology, workflow, and back-office efficiency come naturally.

FAQ

Common questions.

Who do you work with?

Physicians who are starting an independent medical practice from scratch, or buying or acquiring an existing one. My background is primary care, and the operational playbook applies to most outpatient specialties.

Do you provide legal, tax, or financial advice?

No. I am a strategic and operational advisor. I am not an attorney, accountant, broker, or licensed financial advisor. For those services I refer clients to professionals I trust and have worked with.

What states do you serve?

I work with physicians regionally across multiple states. Strategic and operational guidance applies anywhere. State specific items like licensing, corporate filings, and tax structure are handled by your local attorney and CPA.

How long does a typical engagement last?

A Feasibility & Roadmap engagement takes about three to four weeks. A Full Startup Advisory runs roughly four months. A Full Acquisition Advisory covers LOI through 60 days after close, which is usually three to six months total.

Will you connect me with vendors, lenders, and other professionals?

Yes. I keep a short list of attorneys, lenders, billing partners, marketing agencies, and EHR vendors I have worked with personally. You hire them directly. I do not take referral fees, so the recommendations stay honest.
