    When the Surgeon Becomes the Bottleneck — Richard J. Brown, MD (Ep. 365)

    📕 Get Catherine's New Book: Plastic Surgery Practice Pearls 📅 Schedule a Practice Performance Audit ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Richard J. Brown, MD, shares from his experience on when the surgeon becomes the bottleneck in managing the practice. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. When the Surgeon Becomes the Bottleneck How this plastic surgeon learned to delegate without losing control. Consequently, my latest "Beauty and the Biz" guest is Dr. Richard Brown, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and founder of Brown Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Arizona. Moreover, Dr. Brown built his solo practice from the ground up after taking over for a retiring surgeon. Additionally, in this episode, he gets very candid about what it really takes to grow. Specifically, he discusses the challenges when you are the surgeon, owner, leader, producer, and visionary. Furthermore, we talked about the business side surgeons were never trained for, which includes several key components. First, we explore why the business side of practice is often the hardest part. Second, we compare the difference between an office manager and a COO. Third, we explain why every visionary surgeon needs a "who" to help execute the "how." Fourth, we share how to step out of daily staff drama without disconnecting from the team. Fifth, we reveal the expensive lesson he learned when he took his eye off the numbers. Ultimately, this is a great episode for any surgeon who wants to grow but knows they cannot keep managing every staff issue, idea, and fire on their own. REMINDER: Obviously, every consult that does not book is lost revenue. Therefore, that is why I created Converting Academy. For instance, I personally train and coach your coordinator one-on-one. Consequently, she knows how to lead the consultation, handle objections, follow up with confidence, and convert more patients to surgery.   Enjoy!

    Solo Practice to 51,000 Sq. Ft. — in 2.5 Years — Christopher J. Micallef, DO (Ep. 363)

    📕 Get Catherine's New Book: Plastic Surgery Practice Pearls 📅 Schedule a Practice Performance Audit ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Christopher Micallef, DO, shares how he grew from solo practice to 51,000 sq. ft. in only 2.5 years in Texas. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Solo Practice to 51,000 Sq. Ft. — in 2.5 Years 3 providers, 16 staff, zero lead conflict. Here's his model. First, my latest "Beauty and the Biz" guest is Dr. Christopher Micallef. Indeed, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Antonio. Furthermore, he has built something truly impressive. Specifically, he grew from a solo practice to a multi-provider aesthetic business. Moreover, he achieved this growth in just a short amount of time. Currently, his multi-provider aesthetic business includes the following elements: First, a facial plastic surgeon joined the team. Second, an internal medicine physician came on board. Third, the clinic offers injectors, lasers and wellness services. Fourth, the practice employs 16 team members and keeps growing. However, what stood out the most was his mindset. Ultimately, Dr. Micallef credits much of his success to his military background. Fundamentally, systems, consistency, accountability and leadership are not optional. Frankly, that discipline clearly shows in his work. Thus, in this "Beauty and the Biz" episode, we discuss the following topics: First, we explore how he scaled quickly without chaos. Next, we uncover why patient experience is his true differentiator instead of price. Then, we review the hiring mistakes he wishes he avoided early on. Meanwhile, we discuss how to get every staff member aligned around the same patient journey. Finally, we explain why consistency in leadership is non-negotiable. Emphatically, he emphasized his focus is equally on systems, staff experience and procedures. Therefore, that is how you prevent growth leaks from happening. Assuredly, if you are building, scaling or trying to create a stronger culture in your practice, this episode is worth your time. Incidentally, the practices winning today are not always the best surgeons. Instead, they are often the best operators. Consequently, I talk about this concept in more detail in my brand-new book. Now, you can read "The Plastic Surgery Practice Growth Playbook." Finally, get your copy today.   Enjoy!

    Smarter Growth Model for Surgeons? — Nathaniel Villanueva, MD (Ep. 364)

    📕 Get Catherine's New Book: Plastic Surgery Practice Pearls 📅 Schedule a Practice Performance Audit ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Nathaniel Villanueva, MD, shares the secrets of his success as a Beverly Hills surgeon in terms of a smarter practice growth model. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Smarter Growth Model for Surgeons? Why Some Plastic Surgeons Scale Faster (Without Going Solo). Initially, I recorded an insightful episode regarding a "Smarter Growth Model for Surgeons?" Specifically, I conversed with Dr. Nathaniel Villanueva. Currently, he operates as a young board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Interestingly, he decided to join an established multi-surgeon group. Consequently, he avoided going straight into a solo practice. Admittedly, he joined a highly renowned clinic. Subsequently, he built his patient base strategically from there. Therefore, here are the main takeaways. First, joining the right practice can accelerate growth faster than working alone. Second, a partnership model reduces risk while creating significant financial upside. Third, specialization inside a group reduces internal competition. Furthermore, a strong leadership mindset keeps surgeon egos in check. Moreover, culture matters more than credentials when adding another surgeon to the team. Finally, staff compensation transparency helps avoid office drama. Also, remember this final thought. Surprisingly, the fastest-growing surgeons usually are not working harder. Rather, they are making better strategic decisions earlier. Additionally, you might want more strategic insights like these. Thus, my new book provides the answers. Notably, "The Plastic Surgery Practice Growth Playbook" pulls together the best podcast pearls. Ultimately, it compiles advice from top-performing surgeons into one practical resource. Accordingly, get the playbook here.   Enjoy!

    Why This Surgeon "Lives Lean" in Beverly Hills — Faryan Jalalabadi, MD (Ep. 361)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review 📕 Get Catherine's New Book: Plastic Surgery Practice Pearls ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Why this surgeon "lives lean" as a strategic choice in Beverly Hills with only three employees. Faryan Jalalabadi, MD explains. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Why This Surgeon "Lives Lean" in Beverly Hills Consequently, this week's podcast features Dr. Faryan Jalalabadi, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Furthermore, he trained at Baylor College of Medicine and spent significant time with Dr. Rod Rohrich. Additionally, he completed the elite Marina Aesthetics Fellowship at USC under Dr. Grant Stevens. Currently, he runs a thriving facial aging practice with a tiny staff of only three people. Specifically, here is what stood out from the episode: Moreover, he intentionally runs one of the leanest operations in the competitive Beverly Hills market. Similarly, he focused entirely on facial aging instead of trying to provide every possible procedure. Indeed, his biggest professional regret is not opening his solo practice sooner. Meanwhile, he follows his mentor's advice that your only real competition is yourself. Finally, he explains why not owning a surgery center is a strategic choice rather than a limitation. Therefore, you should listen if you wonder how a younger surgeon competes in a crowded market without massive overhead. Indeed, this episode reveals his unique blueprint for success. P.S. In fact, Dr. Jalalabadi credits his fellowship with teaching him what to avoid in business. Because this kind of insight is vital, I captured similar wisdom from 175 surgeons in "Beauty and the Biz". Therefore, you should pre-order the playbook today to receive four launch bonuses.   Enjoy!

    The Difference Between Employed… and Free — Suma Maddox, MD (Ep. 362)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review 📕 Get Catherine's New Book: Plastic Surgery Practice Pearls ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Suma Maddox, MD, shares her journey into private practice and the difference between being employed and free. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. The Difference Between Employed… and Free Frankly, most surgeons will not do this, but that is the point. Indeed, most surgeons talk about going out on their own. However, few actually do it. Furthermore, even fewer emulate Dr. Suma Maddox. Specifically, she is a board-certified plastic surgeon in New Orleans. Previously, she spent years as a hospital-employed general surgeon. Consequently, she was locked into a noncompete agreement. Then, she made a definitive decision. Next, she went back into training. Afterward, she started over. Ultimately, she drove 200 miles each way every week. Moreover, she did this for months to secure the surgery cases needed for board certification. Undeniably, that immense effort paid off. Today, she owns her own practice. Additionally, she built a surgery center with two operating rooms. Plus, she rents this space to other surgeons. Furthermore, she will have that loan paid off by November. Truthfully, this success was not luck. Rather, it was the result of thinking like a founder. Surprisingly, she did not ask how to do more surgery. Instead, she asked how to build something she could control. Remarkably, this is the exact pattern I observed across 175 surgeons. Concurrently, I noticed this while writing my book. Unquestionably, the ones who break away and grow share specific traits: First, they protect their autonomy. Second, they build systems around themselves. Third, they create new revenue streams. Finally, they think long-term rather than just focusing on survival. Ultimately, success starts with thinking differently about "The Difference Between Employed… and Free". P.S. Importantly, the shift from surgeon to owner changes everything. Therefore, everything is detailed in my new book, "Plastic Surgery Practice Playbook." Currently, it is available at BeautyAndTheBizBook.com.   Enjoy!

    The Difference Isn't More Leads — Dan Hatef, MD (Ep. 360)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Dan Hatef, MD, explains how the difference isn't more leads when it comes to patient acquisition, fulfillment and retention. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. The Difference Isn't More Leads Specifically, "The difference isn't more leads" features Dr. Dan Hatef. Indeed, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Currently, Hatef runs a high-performing private practice in Nashville, Tennessee. First, I have a quick heads-up before you dive in. Actually, my new book, "The Plastic Surgery Practice Growth Playbook," is now at the printer. Moreover, this book is built from pearls gathered from over 175 top plastic surgeon interviews. Ultimately, it reveals the exact patterns behind stronger conversion and higher retention. Consequently, it helps build more efficient and profitable practices. Soon, it will be available for pre-order. Now, here is why this podcast episode matters. Surprisingly, Hatef's success is not about doing more. Rather, it is about doing the right things consistently. Next, here are a few key takeaways. First, growth comes from execution instead of effort. Second, networking with the right people in your community is a game changer. Third, your team either elevates or erodes the patient experience. Therefore, you must stop guessing to improve conversion, retention and staff performance. Fortunately, "The difference isn't more leads" will show you exactly where to start. Also, these takeaways are exactly what I organized into "The Plastic Surgery Practice Growth Playbook." Consequently, you can see where your practice stands and what to fix next. Presently, the book is shipping soon. Furthermore, pre-orders this week include four exclusive launch bonuses. Afterward, those bonuses are gone forever. Finally, pre-orders will be available soon.

As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. What it Really Takes to Open Your Own Practice Admittedly, lots of surgeons think about going out on their own. However, very few actually do it. Specifically, in this week's episode of "Beauty and the Biz," Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi discusses her journey. Furthermore, this facial plastic surgeon in private practice in Thousand Oaks, California, didn't wait for the perfect time. Instead, she just made the decision and figured it out. Below, here are some highlights of our conversation: First, she chose betting on herself over buying into someone else's practice. Additionally, she used real pro forma data to eliminate guessing and hoping. Simultaneously, she built her practice while doing locum tenens to stay afloat. Moreover, she answered her own phones and converted patients herself. Ultimately, she faced the reality of hearing crickets in the beginning. Currently, where is she now? Today, she runs a fully built-out, Quad-A-accredited surgical center in Southern California. Clearly, there are no shortcuts. Likewise, there is no magic. Rather, her success required smart decisions, risk tolerance and consistency. So, if you're sitting on the fence about going solo, this episode will either validate your hesitation or push you forward.

    She Started SOLO… Pregnant… and Built THIS — Lindsey Pennington, MD (Ep. 358)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Lindsey Pennington, MD, shares on how she started in solo practice, pregnant, and built this successful practice in Shreveport, LA. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. She Started SOLO… Pregnant… and Built THIS Initially, Dr. Lindsey Pennington did not ease into private practice. Instead, she jumped in five months pregnant straight out of her fellowship. Furthermore, she built a solo facial plastic surgery practice from scratch in Shreveport, Louisiana. Thus, her journey perfectly embodies the podcast episode, "She started SOLO… pregnant… and built THIS." Breaking the Mold Truly, here is what makes her story worth your attention. First, she became the very first female in Louisiana to accomplish this feat. Additionally, she built a high-touch, concierge-level experience that patients consistently rave about. Moreover, she currently operates without an office manager. Consequently, she leads everything herself alongside a 14-person team. However, here is the real kicker. Surprisingly, she admits her fellowship taught her absolutely nothing about business. Therefore, she simply figured it out herself. Doing It Right Now, let us examine what she did right. Firstly, she chose a nonmedical retail location to create a consumer-friendly feel. Secondly, she obsessed over every single patient touchpoint, including the phones and the lobby. Thirdly, she traveled across the country learning directly from top surgeons. Finally, she built up her social media presence and created a huge demand for her services. The Takeaway Ultimately, here is what this means for you. Clearly, if you are waiting to feel ready before building your dream practice, you will wait forever. Indeed, Dr. Pennington proves you must build it by doing and refining as you go. Currently, the fastest-growing surgeons are not the most experienced. Rather, they are the ones learning from others and implementing quickly. P.S. Lastly, if you want help applying these lessons to your own practice, book a quick Practice Growth Review Call here. Undoubtedly, this will help you secure more converting consults, higher patient value and smoother systems. Enjoy!

    What it Really Takes to Start Over — Maryam Saheb-Al-Zamani, MD (Ep. 357)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Maryam Saheb-Al-Zamani, MD, shares her journey into private practice in Beverly Hills, California, and explains what it really takes to start over. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. What it Really Takes to Start Over Currently, the fastest-growing practices do not work harder because they reposition smarter. Consequently, you might wonder what you would do if you had to start over in a new market without a built-in patient base. Actually, that is exactly what Dr. Maryam Zamani has done more than once. First, she began her career in Toronto by joining an established practice. Subsequently, she moved to Southern California to join a different practice. Today, she has built a "practice within a practice" in Beverly Hills. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most competitive markets in the world. Interestingly, several factors make her journey fascinating. Initially, she did not rely on her history. Instead, she rebuilt her reputation each time. Furthermore, Zamani leveraged associations with strong practices to gain traction faster. Moreover, she used the geography of Beverly Hills to elevate her perceived value and credibility. Ultimately, she understood that growth is not just clinical. Rather, growth is highly strategic. Typically, most surgeons think growth means acquiring more leads and doing more procedures. Consequently, they believe it requires more hustle. However, sometimes the real move involves repositioning yourself in the right environment. Additionally, it means rebuilding smarter. Therefore, if you have ever thought about expanding or relocating your practice model, you should listen. Specifically, tuning into "What it really takes to start over" is well worth your time. P.S. Admittedly, the surgeons who grow the fastest are not always the most experienced. Instead, they are the most strategic. Finally, if that describes you, let us schedule a Practice Growth Review.

    From Air Force to Solo to Retirement — Michael Edwards, MD (Ep. 356)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Michael Edwards, MD, shares his journey from being in the US Air Force, going into solo practice, and then transitioning into retirement. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. From Air Force to Solo to Retirement Initially, Dr. Michael C. Edwards is a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Plastic Surgery Vegas. Furthermore, he is a past president of the Aesthetic Society. Previously, he served as a U.S. Air Force officer. Specifically, he commanded a field hospital in the Middle East. Subsequently, he transitioned from military medicine to solo private practice in Las Vegas. Remarkably, he was operating on patients his first week out of uniform. Now, in this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," Dr. Edwards breaks down exactly how he did it: First, he reveals why he stayed in the same city. Consequently, that single decision made his practice launch almost effortless. Next, he discusses being solo for 12 years before a group merger. Ultimately, it took a year of conversations, attorneys and consultants to get it right. Then, he reviews his private equity decision. Specifically, they looked into private equity and walked away. Furthermore, he explains why. Later, he details the one-year retirement announcement. Unsurprisingly, he shares what happened when his phone "lit up." Moreover, he is transferring 30 years of patient loyalty to the new surgeon taking his place. Importantly, he does this without a single patient feeling abandoned. Indeed, this is not theory. Rather, it is a playbook from someone who actually did it. P.S. Finally, if you want an objective view of your own practice, request a Practice Growth Strategy Review here.

    Partnership Mistakes to Avoid — Alexandra Hart, MD (Ep. 355)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Alexandra Hart, MD, explains from her own experience on which cosmetic practice partnership mistakes to avoid. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Partnership Mistakes to Avoid Because you might be considering buying into an established practice, this week's "Beauty and the Biz" episode is a must-listen. Furthermore, Dr. Alexandra Hart, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, GA, joins "Beauty and the Biz" to share what really happens when a young surgeon joins an established practice. Initially, she learns the business and buys in as a partner. Subsequently, she discovers the reality of decision-making power.     Consequently, here are a few key takeaways: Notably, buying equity does not automatically mean equal influence. In addition, financial transparency matters more than personality compatibility. Specifically, marketing control often reveals deeper leadership differences. Moreover, money disagreements often uncover misaligned expectations. Importantly, partnership agreements matter more than verbal promises. During the episode, Dr. Hart candidly discusses what she learned about P&Ls and payroll. Additionally, she explains governance and ownership responsibilities after becoming a 50% partner. Therefore, she provides knowledge most surgeons never receive in training. Similarly, she shares the emotional side few talk about. For example, she explores what happens when vision, values, and financial expectations stop aligning. If you are early in your career, this episode includes real-world insights into what to clarify before signing anything. Especially if you are considering a buy-in or mentoring an associate, these lessons are vital. Ultimately, the right partnership accelerates your career. Conversely, the wrong one can stall it. P.S. After decades of working with top practices, I have noticed a clear pattern. Specifically, the busiest surgeons do not always have better marketing. Instead, they run tighter systems. If you would like an expert perspective on your systems, you can request a confidential Practice Growth Review. Enjoy!

    This Fellowship Was Priceless — Steven A. Hanna, MD (Ep. 354)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Steven Hanna, MD, shares how his fellowship experience was priceless in that it gave him the tools to succeed as a surgeon as well as a businessman. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. This Fellowship Was Priceless In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," I interviewed Dr. Steven Hanna. Currently, he is a Royal College-certified plastic surgeon. For three years, he has practiced in Toronto and Oshawa, Canada. During our talk, we discussed why this fellowship was priceless for his career. Specifically, he trained at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat. There, he worked with top aesthetic surgeons to refine his skills. Consequently, this accelerated his professional growth. Furthermore, he later joined a well-established practice with a long-time colleague. Interestingly, this practice is unique because both surgeons' wives are also physicians there. Together, they work under one roof. Therefore, they offer a full spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Key takeaways from our conversation: How mentorship from top surgeons shapes long-term success Why specialization helps surgeons stand out The importance of reputation early in your career The secret behind his happy business partnership Naturally, the fastest-growing surgeons make intentional decisions. Instead of just working harder, they focus on positioning and differentiation. Ultimately, this episode shows why this fellowship was priceless for his positioning. P.S. After decades of working with top practices, I have noticed a clear pattern. Specifically, the busiest surgeons do not always have better marketing. Instead, they run tighter systems.

    Young, Pretty, Smart and Crushing it — Pamela Brownlee, DO (Ep. 353)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Pamela Brownlee, DO — a young, pretty, and smart cosmetic surgeon who's absolutely crushing it with branding, marketing, and patient attraction. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Young, Pretty, Smart and Crushing it In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," I interviewed Dr. Pamela Brownlee. Specifically, she is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Frisco, Texas. Additionally, she opened her practice just one year ago. Ultimately, she named it Bombshelled Aesthetics! Clearly, Dr. Brownlee is a mix of looks, style, fashion and fun. However, we all know looks can be deceiving. Consequently, she is also smart, driven and strategic. In our conversation, "Young, Pretty, Smart and Crushing It" describes her journey perfectly.  Furthermore, here is what we talked about: Why patient trust builds long-term success. The balance between being a surgeon and a business owner. Why she has a skincare line, Amazon store and 85,000 Instagram followers. The mindset needed to grow a sustainable practice. Most importantly, one of the biggest takeaways was her focus on patient relationships. Therefore, this strategy drives loyalty, referrals and practice growth. P.S.

    Academia vs. Aesthetic Freedom — Dr. Francisco Gómez Bravo (Ep. 352)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Doctor Francisco Gómez Bravo shares his experiences in academia vs. the freedoms found in aesthetic private practice. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Academia vs. Aesthetic Freedom This week's "Beauty and the Biz" Podcast features Dr. Francisco Bravo. Specifically, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Madrid. Notably, his path to solo success was not a straight line. On the "Beauty and the Biz" Podcast, Dr. Bravo shares how he built the foundation for a thriving aesthetic practice through years of training and strategic decisions. First, he trained in Barcelona, London, Paris, Rome, and NYU. Next, he built credibility in reconstructive microsurgery. Meanwhile, he balanced university medicine with private practice for 10 years. Eventually, he made the decision many surgeons struggle with. Ultimately, he left academic security. Instead, he went all-in on an aesthetic solo practice.   In this episode of the "Beauty and the Biz" Podcast, we discuss: First, how to know when you have enough "momentum" to go solo Next, why impatience is the biggest mistake young surgeons make Then, the financial and emotional risk of investing in a high-end location Additionally, why owning your own surgical facility is a game changer Finally, how instrumental his wife has been in building the practice while raising four kids One of my favorite lines from him on the "Beauty and the Biz" Podcast: " You have to choose two: university, private practice, or family. But you can't do all three." Overall, this episode of the "Beauty and the Biz" Podcast offers a thoughtful and honest look at what it really takes to build a boutique aesthetic practice the right way. Therefore, if you're quietly wondering whether it's time to narrow your focus or elevate your brand, this "Beauty and the Biz" Podcast episode will interest you. P.S. Obviously, momentum doesn't happen by accident. Therefore, if you're ready to elevate your positioning, patient experience, and profitability, book a Practice Growth Review with me. Indeed, we'll identify exactly where you're leaving opportunity on the table — and what to do about it. Enjoy!

    Premium Pricing Isn't Luck. It's Positioning. — Ritu Chopra, MD (Ep. 351)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ritu Chopra, MD, explains how premium pricing isn't luck, but it's positioning oneself to become the authority in their field. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Premium Pricing Isn't Luck. It's Positioning. Today, premium pricing in plastic surgery isn't luck. Instead, it's positioning. In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," we explain how premium positioning allows surgeons to command higher fees with confidence. As a result, consistency follows clarity. Specifically, Ritu Chopra, MD, is a Beverly Hills board-certified plastic surgeon. Notably, he built his reputation through extreme specialization in facial surgery. In particular, his signature DEFINE facelift became the focal point of his brand. Because of that focus, technical refinement, and strategic positioning, his facelift procedures can reach six figures. Therefore, that level of premium pricing is not accidental. Rather, it is intentional. Early in his career, Dr. Chopra made a strategic move. At that point, he joined a practice led by a nationally recognized plastic surgeon. Importantly, that surgeon was a longtime cast member of "The Doctors." As a result, proximity elevated his visibility. In turn, it strengthened his credibility. Eventually, it earned him his own role on the show. In "Premium Pricing Isn't Luck. It's Positioning.," we also discuss collaboration. Instead of competing, Dr. Chopra chose to collaborate. Consequently, he participates in a private circle of elite facial plastic surgeons. Together, they refine techniques and raise standards. Ultimately, high-level surgeons collaborate. By contrast, they do not compete on price. If you want to understand how specialization, proximity, and authority drive premium pricing, then "Premium Pricing Isn't Luck. It's Positioning." delivers practical insight you can apply immediately. PS: Indeed, not every practice needs more marketing. Instead, some practices need sharper positioning. If you want a direct evaluation of your growth gaps, pricing leverage, and retention systems, then request a private Practice Growth Review. Enjoy!

    How Smart Practices Grow During Uncertain Times — Catherine Maley, MBA (Ep. 350)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Catherine Maley, MBA, with nearly 30 years in helping cosmetic surgeons and their staff, explains how smart practices grow during uncertain times. Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. How Smart Practices Grow During Uncertain Times Currently, something subtle is happening in aesthetic practices. Specifically, it isn't dramatic. Instead, it is quieter than that. Increasingly, consultations are taking longer. Meanwhile, patients are asking more questions. Consequently, decisions are slowing down. Similarly, negotiations are becoming sharper. Even so, affluent patients — those who clearly have the money — are hesitating. Importantly, this hesitation isn't about affordability. Rather, uncertainty delays commitment. Unfortunately, this is where many practices make a mistake. Typically, when they sense hesitation, they tighten operations. For example, they cut marketing. Additionally, they freeze hiring. Likewise, they reduce training. Eventually, they negotiate fees. As a result, profit margins erode. In reality, expense cutting doesn't create growth. Instead, it usually slows decline. By contrast, resilient practices take a different approach. Rather than asking, "Where can we cut?" they ask, "Where are we underperforming?" Often, the answers are operational. For instance, missed calls reduce opportunity. Similarly, lost consult conversions weaken revenue. Likewise, weak follow-up limits growth. Additionally, dormant past patients represent untapped value. In uncertain markets, you don't need 30% growth. Instead, you often need about 10% tighter execution. Therefore, clarity becomes a competitive advantage. In this week's podcast, "How Smart Practices Grow During Uncertain Times," I explain: Specifically, why patients negotiate harder during uncertain markets Additionally, why cutting expenses rarely produces real profit growth Furthermore, where practices often underperform without realizing it Finally, why strong systems outperform aggressive discounting Ultimately, uncertainty isn't a threat. Instead, it acts as a filter. Consequently, weak systems struggle. Meanwhile, strong systems remain steady. In the end, profit growth doesn't come from panic. Rather, it comes from clarity. Indeed, if you'd like an objective look at where your revenues may be underperforming — without adding more ads, more staff, or more chaos — request a private Practice Growth Review. Sometimes, one operational adjustment can influence the entire year. Enjoy!

    Built a Multi-Location Practice Without Losing Control — Johnny Franco, MD (Ep. 349)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Johnny Franco, MD, talks about how he built a multi-location cosmetic surgery practice without losing control. Hello and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Built a Multi-Location Practice Without Losing Control Specifically, "Built a Multi-Location Practice Without Losing Control" podcast explains how practices grow without losing stability or profitability. Importantly, in this "Beauty and the Biz" episode, Dr. Johnny Franco shares how early infrastructure helped him scale safely. Additionally, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas. Moreover, he founded Austin Plastic Surgeon. Furthermore, he serves as clinical faculty at UT Dell Medical School. Indeed, this conversation focuses on real-world growth strategy rather than theory. Specifically, Dr. Franco discusses what happens inside expanding practices. Likewise, he explains how leadership decisions affect long-term control. Additionally, key discussion points include: Why adding locations is often harder than adding providers How missing SOPs create financial confusion and accountability gaps Why many practices delay building leadership and operations support How compensation structures influence ownership and culture The operational risk when everything funnels through one surgeon Importantly, one insight is simple. Namely, infrastructure works best when built early. Consequently, waiting often increases cost. Similarly, waiting usually increases complexity and stress. Overall, this episode reflects real operational experience. Specifically, it comes from a multi-location practice. Likewise, the practice includes multiple surgeons and diverse service lines. P.S. If your marketing relies heavily on discounts or ad spend, a Practice Growth Review can help identify stronger positioning options. Enjoy!

    e Long Game Most Surgeons Don't Play — Gregory D. Lewen, MD (Ep. 348)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Gregory D. Lewen, MD, played the long game most surgeons don't play to organically transition from reconstruction to cosmetic surgery. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. The Long Game Most Surgeons Don't Play Overall, the quiet decisions that lead to real leverage over time. Typically, most surgeons don't wake up and suddenly decide to go solo. Instead, the shift usually happens gradually. Often, it follows years of watching how different systems actually work. In this week's "Beauty and the Biz" episode, I spoke with Dr. Gregory Lewen. Specifically, he is a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon in Aventura, Florida. Notably, he followed a deliberate path into private practice.  Before opening his own office, Dr. Lewen trained in two distinct environments: First, a university setting focused on functional care Second, a private practice centered on cash medicine Consequently, that dual exposure shaped his strategy. Rather than chase volume or quick wins, he built a boutique, concierge-style practice. Instead, the foundation includes: Specifically, careful business planning Additionally, strategic location selection in a high-end market Gradually, a move away from insurance Consistently, a focus on service and trust Notably, one insight stood out: "Something changes when you put your ideas on paper. It becomes real — and there's no turning back." Additionally, we discuss: Importantly, why independence often matters more than speed Likewise, how early decisions protect long-term leverage Finally, the risks of growing too quickly Overall, this is a practical conversation. Ultimately, it focuses on building a sustainable surgical practice. P.S. Overall, growth rarely comes from doing more. Instead, it often comes from refining what already works. Additionally, if you'd like help identifying that leverage in your practice, you can request a Practice Growth Review here. Enjoy!

    Moonlighting as a Growth Strategy — Jennifer Murdock, MD (Ep. 347)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Jennifer Murdock, MD, shares her cosmetic surgery growth strategy which involved moonlighting for other practices. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Moonlighting as a Growth Strategy Why this surgeon learned how to build before momentum kicked in First, the "Moonlighting as a growth strategy" podcast explores what it really takes to build a sustainable aesthetic practice before momentum arrives. In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Murdock. As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Miami, she chose a deliberate and patient approach to growth. Notably, Dr. Murdock openly shares a reality many young surgeons experience but rarely discuss. Early in her career, she moonlighted at other practices. At the same time, this approach allowed her to maintain financial stability. Meanwhile, she slowly built her own reputation. Additionally, she developed a referral base and patient trust in one of the most competitive aesthetic markets in the country. Rather than a fallback, moonlighting became a strategic growth strategy.     During the conversation, we discuss what that phase actually looked like. Importantly, we also explore why it mattered. In this episode, you'll hear: How she evaluated risk vs. stability early on Why ego can sabotage long-term practice ownership The mindset shift required when you're building before you're "busy" How patience, consistency, and standards compound over time Overall, this is a practical and honest conversation about practice building. Ultimately, it's the kind surgeons wish they had heard earlier in their careers. If you're navigating growth, uncertainty, or the uncomfortable in-between phase, this episode will resonate deeply. 👉 Now, listen to "Moonlighting as a growth strategy" and learn the long game that actually works. P.S. Importantly, most surgeons quit or overextend during this stage. Here, Dr. Murdock explains how to stay solvent, grounded, and focused while building something that lasts. P.S. Now is the best time to get an objective second set of eyes on how your practice is really operating.Especially then, this matters before habits harden and the year fills up.

    What Changes When You Stop Doing Everything — Philip Solomon, MD, FRCS (Ep. 346)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Philip Solomon, MD, FCRS, shares insights from his experience on what changes when you stop doing everything as a cosmetic surgeon. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. What Changes When You Stop Doing Everything Today, the "Beauty and the Biz" podcast features Dr. Philip Solomon. Specifically, he is a facial plastic surgeon in Toronto with more than 25 years in practice. Additionally, he is the founder of the Solomon Nasal & Facial Plastic Surgery Center. Over time, Dr. Solomon has worked in academic medicine. Likewise, he has held hospital leadership roles. Further, he has owned and operated a private practice. Eventually, he made a deliberate shift to a fully aesthetic-focused model. As a result, that long-view perspective makes this episode of "Beauty and the Biz" especially valuable. In this episode, we talk candidly about the business realities surgeons face as their practices mature. More importantly, we focus on what happens when growth increases complexity instead of leverage. During the conversation, we cover several critical topics. First, we explore why doing "a little of everything" eventually becomes a liability. Next, we discuss the decision to narrow focus and what that change unlocked. Additionally, Dr. Solomon shares his experience with owning a surgical facility versus relying on a hospital. At the same time, he explains staffing challenges few surgeons are prepared for. Finally, we examine why being busy can actually increase operational risk. Throughout the episode, Dr. Solomon is refreshingly honest about what he would do differently. In particular, he reflects on staying too broad for too long. Ultimately, he explains why focus becomes a strategic advantage rather than a limitation. Overall, this episode of the "Beauty and the Biz" podcast is a thoughtful conversation for surgeons who feel pulled in too many directions. Especially, it is relevant for those questioning how to simplify their practice. Importantly, momentum does not have to be lost. Ultimately, maturity in practice isn't about adding more. Instead, it's about knowing what to let go. P.S. January is the best time to get an objective second set of eyes on how your practice is really operating.Especially then, this matters before habits harden and the year fills up.

    1.5 Years Booked Out…How? — Anthony Youn, MD (Ep. 345)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Anthony Youn, MD, shares how he's been able to maintain being 1.5 years booked out even after his partner left his practice. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. 1.5 Years Booked Out...How? Why "bigger" isn't always better in private practice Today's "Beauty and the Biz" podcast features Dr. Anthony Youn, a board-certified plastic surgeon, best-selling author, and nationally recognized expert on aging and longevity. For more than 20 years, Dr. Youn has built a successful private practice. However, his story stands out not because of rapid expansion, but because of restraint. In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," we talk candidly about how to build a profitable, ethical, and sustainable practice and how he remained being 1.5 years booked out, even after his partner left his practice. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Youn explains the decisions that shaped his long-term stability. Likewise, he explains how those decisions protected his control. You'll hear: First, why he chose solo private practice instead of joining a larger group Next, the real trade-offs of not owning an in-office OR Then, how he approaches staffing, loyalty, and workplace culture Finally, why long waitlists aren't always a sign of healthy growth Along the way, Dr. Youn shares lessons many surgeons only learn the hard way. For example, he discusses costly mistakes with expensive devices. Additionally, he explains staffing realities that are rarely discussed openly. Ultimately, this episode of "Beauty and the Biz" is especially valuable for surgeons who want clarity. Moreover, it is valuable for those who want stability and longevity. Conversely, it is not for those chasing operational chaos. In the end, growth doesn't always mean expansion. Sometimes, growth means knowing exactly what not to build. P.S.

    The Real Cost of "Playing It Safe" in Private Practice — Ramsen Azizi, MD (Ep. 344)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ramsen Azizi, MD, of Chicago, Illinois, explains the real cost of "playing it safe" in a private cosmetic surgery practice. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. The Real Cost of "Playing It Safe" in Private Practice Lessons from building a practice with no safety net In "The Real Cost of 'Playing It Safe' in Private Practice" podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ramsen Azizi. Specifically, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon and the founder of RAM Plastic Surgery in Chicago. Before entering medicine, Dr. Azizi spent more than two decades as a professional music producer. As a result, that creative and independent background shaped how he approached private practice. From the beginning, it influenced how he made decisions and assessed risk. As a result, this episode explores a side of private practice growth most surgeons are not prepared for. More importantly, it focuses on the real trade-offs between safety and autonomy. Specifically in this conversation, you'll learn: Why starting private practice immediately forced better decisions How keeping overhead painfully low early on created long-term freedom What surgeons underestimate about building their own surgical facility Why control of your OR, schedule, and environment changes everything Throughout "The Real Cost of 'Playing It Safe' in Private Practice," Dr. Azizi shares candid lessons from taking financial risk. Additionally, he discusses navigating volatile growth cycles. Ultimately, he explains why he chose autonomy over perceived security. Importantly, this is not a "do this one tactic" episode. Instead, it offers a grounded look at what it takes to build something durable. More broadly, it shows why private practice success is less about perfection and more about resilience. If you've ever thought, "There has to be a better way than this," this episode will challenge how you think about control. At the same time, it may change how you view risk and long-term freedom.

    How One Surgeon Thinks Differently About Growth — Frederick G. Weniger, MD (Ep. 343)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Frederick Weniger, MD, explains how he, for one, as a surgeon, thinks differently about growth in his Hilton Head cosmetic practice. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. How One Surgeon Thinks Differently About Growth Today, the "Beauty and the Biz" podcast features Dr. Weniger. Notably, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon with an MBA. Currently, he practices in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Instead of chasing trends, Dr. Weniger approaches growth differently. Rather than reacting to industry noise, he focuses on long-term thinking. More importantly, he emphasizes deliberate and measured decision-making. Additionally, he challenges assumptions that often go unquestioned. Specifically, he examines choices many surgeons never slow down enough to consider. In this episode, the conversation moves beyond tactics. Instead, it centers on how experienced surgeons think. Ultimately, the focus is on building a practice designed to last. Throughout the discussion, several mindset shifts emerge. Specifically, the episode explains why following the crowd often increases risk rather than reducing it. Likewise, it shows how leadership appears in everyday decisions rather than formal titles. Similarly, it highlights why clarity consistently beats complexity in practice management. Finally, it reveals how surgeons can stay grounded when the industry feels chaotic. As a result, this episode speaks to surgeons who are already successful. In particular, it resonates with those seeking greater confidence and calm about what comes next. If pressure to adopt misaligned systems has ever felt familiar, this episode of "Beauty and the Biz" will resonate. PS: Ultimately, the best practices are not louder. Instead, they are clearer. Consequently, this episode reinforces why leadership begins with how you think rather than what you copy. In short, schedule a strategy call to gain unbiased clarity around your practice growth.

    A Smarter Way to Think About Growth in 2026 — Catherine Maley, MBA (Ep. 342)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Catherine Maley, MBA talks about a much smarter way to think about growth in 2026 for your cosmetic practice. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. A Smarter Way to Think About Growth in 2026 — A new year perspective on what to stop tolerating — and what to fix now. Happy New Year! Firstly, most surgeons start the year thinking about what they want more of in 2026: More consults More booked surgery More predictability Less chaos Secondly, that focus is normal. However, the latest "Beauty and the Biz" podcast takes a different approach. Moreover, it is inspired by Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's longtime partner, and one of the most quietly effective thinkers of our time. Interestingly, most people don't realize Munger was the strategic mind behind the scenes. Consequently, his thinking profoundly influenced Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway's extraordinary success. For example, one of Munger's simple principles is: "Invert. Always invert." Instead, instead of asking, "What should I add?" ask this question: "What is quietly holding me back? How do I stop it?" Additionally, in this "Beauty and the Biz" episode, we explore how this approach applies directly to cosmetic practices. Specifically, it is relevant for lead conversion. Importantly, many practices don't fail because of talent, marketing, or effort. Rather, they struggle because they tolerate: First, accepting inconsistent revenues as normal Second, leads being "handled" but not converted Third, inconsistent follow-up processes Fourth, good staff drifting without feedback Furthermore, a common — and costly — example is the patient coordinator role. Notably, conversion is rarely intuitive. Also, it is rarely trained or managed properly. Consequently, left alone, even good coordinators drift. Instead, with structure, they thrive. In fact, in the podcast, you'll learn: First, why "being nice" isn't enough to convert cosmetic consults Second, how uncertainty — not price — kills decisions Third, what happens when coordinators are trained and held accountable Fourth, why fixing a few silent breakdowns often does more than adding new strategies Finally, if you're planning for a smoother, more predictable 2026, this "Beauty and the Biz" episode is a conversation worth listening to. Moreover, enrollment in the "Converting Academy" closes this week! Additionally, when you enroll by then, you receive three high-value bonuses. These include coordinator compensation plans, follow-up frameworks, and the hiring blueprint — all at no extra cost. Ultimately, if improving conversion consistency is on your "Fix '26" list, join the "Converting Academy" now.   Enjoy!

    Why Converting Consults Feels Harder Now — Catherine Maley, MBA (Ep. 341)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Catherine Maley, MBA, author and renowned cosmetic practice business coach, explains why converting consults feels harder now. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Why Converting Consults Feels Harder Now Across cosmetic practices nationwide, one pattern keeps showing up. Instead, surgeons are not struggling because they lack leads. Rather, they are struggling because patients hesitate longer. Consequently, decisions are delayed. Ultimately, patients quietly fall out of the pipeline. Meanwhile, most practices misdiagnose the problem. Often, they assume it is pricing. Alternatively, they blame competition. Sometimes, they point to marketing changes. Frequently, they cite "today's patient." Afterward, after 25 years of training hundreds of patient coordinators, the cause is clear. Additionally, I have reviewed real conversion data. Importantly, what is breaking conversions today is not clinical skill. Likewise, it is not lead volume. Instead, it is the emotional gap inside the consultation process. Fundamentally, cosmetic patients decide emotionally first. Then, they justify logically later. When, when no one bridges that emotional gap, hesitation appears. Typically, it sounds like, "I need to think about it." That's why that is exactly what I unpack in my newest "Beauty and the Biz" podcast episode, "Why converting consults feels harder now." Specifically, in this episode, I explain: First, why cosmetic conversions feel harder than they used to Next, how the patient coordinator role has quietly changed Additionally, the most common blind spots in modern consultations Then, why even good coordinators still miss bookings Finally, what high-performing practices are doing differently heading into 2026 In short, if you are seeing schedule inconsistency, this will resonate. Likewise, if follow-through feels weak, it will land. Similarly, if patients need more certainty than they used to, this episode will feel familiar. P.S. Most patient coordinators have never been professionally trained to guide emotional decisions with confidence. Therefore, that gap is exactly why I created The Converting Academy. 2026 enrollment with extra bonuses is now open.   Enjoy!

    From Struggling to Booked Out in Beverly Hills — with Justin Yovino, MD (Ep. 339)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Justin Yovino, MD, talks about his journey from struggling under employment to opening his booked out surgical practice in Beverly Hills. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. From Struggling to Booked Out in Beverly Hills Indeed, some surgeons build a practice. However, a few build a brand. Then, you meet someone who builds both. And, they do it by working differently from day one. This week's episode on "From Struggling to Booked Out in Beverly Hills" on "Beauty and the Biz," I interviewed Dr. Justin Yovino. Additionally, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Moreover, he is the founder of Ideal Face & Body in Beverly Hills. However, his path was anything but traditional. In fact, his early career looked nothing like his current success. Beforehand, before becoming known for "awake surgery," natural fat transfer and meticulous liposuction results, Dr. Yovino was: First, sharing office space with an older surgeon Second, taking ER recon and insurance cases to survive financially Third, being paid $200 for complex procedures Fourth, learning slowly, one case at a time Fifth, saying yes when others said no Eventually, those choices paid off. Ultimately, they positioned him to become one of the most in-demand surgeons in Beverly Hills. In this episode of "From Struggling to Booked Out in Beverly Hills," he explains: First, the turning point that changed everything Second, how he built a niche with awake surgery Third, how Lifestyle Lift and AirSculpt helped grow his brand Fourth, what he would do differently if starting today Fifth, how he and his anesthesiologist wife built a "dual-engine" practice Sixth, why hiring associates failed — and what he learned Finally, Dr. Yovino reveals the one business decision he nearly skipped. Consequently, that decision became the best move of his career. Therefore, don't miss this episode.   PS: Indeed, this is your last chance to complete the Cosmetic Practice Accelerator Scorecard. Ultimately, most surgeons uncover revenue leaks they never knew existed. Enjoy!

    Carving Out a Referral Facelift Practice — with Raymond Lee, MD (Ep. 338)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Raymond Lee, MD, shares his experience in carving out a referral facelift practice in competitive Newport Beach, California. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Carving Out a Referral Facelift Practice Specifically, this week's episode of "Beauty and the Biz" highlights Carving out a Referral Facelift Practice with Dr. Raymond Lee. Additionally, he is a facial plastic surgeon in ultra-competitive Newport Beach. Furthermore, he explains how he built one of the most efficient and referral-driven facelift practices in Southern California. Initially, Dr. Lee did not start with industry connections, a known brand or an established patient base. Instead, he was told it would be "impossible" for a facial plastic surgeon to stand out in such a saturated region. Nevertheless, he went on to: Ultimately perform more than 3,000 facelifts using local or IV sedation Gradually sublease a single room, then expand into three full suites and eventually his own ASC Consistently build a loyal team that stays with him for four to six years or more Successfully create a recognizable brand ("Faceology MD") and secure both the trademark and the domain Primarily grow through word-of-mouth referrals and surgical excellence rather than paid ads Next, here is some of what we covered in Carving out a Referral Facelift Practice: First, he discusses his unconventional start at Lifestyle Lift and how it shaped his speed, volume and technique Second, he explains how he used subleasing to enter Newport Beach at a manageable cost Third, he shares his key lessons in hiring, delegation and retaining long-term staff Finally, he outlines why he prefers IV sedation for facelifts and how that choice improves patient satisfaction Consequently, if you want a practical blueprint for succeeding in a crowded market, this episode delivers. Moreover, it shows how to grow without discounts, gimmicks or hype. Ultimately, it is especially useful if you are expanding, hiring or building a lasting brand. Therefore, don't miss Dr. Lee's insights in Carving out a Referral Facelift Practice.  PS: Obviously, the Cosmetic Practice Vault works because it's based on real data from real practices.

From Fellowship to Two OR Suites Specifically, in the "From Fellowship to Two OR Suites Podcast," Dr. Heather Levites explains how she built one of Raleigh's newest aesthetic practices from the ground up. First, she shares how she is a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at MIT, Duke, and Stony Brook. Additionally, she gained real-world business experience by working inside a multi-physician practice. Consequently, she learned workflow, systems, and the financial realities new surgeons rarely get taught. Specifically in this episode of the "From Fellowship to Two OR Suites Podcast," you'll hear how she: First, purchased a 3,000-sq.-ft. medical condo. Then, she spent a full year navigating permits, build-outs, inspections, and OR accreditation. Next, designed two private OR suites to control block time and reduce overhead. Afterward, bridged the financial gap by taking part-time work while she built her brand. Finally, hired and trained her first team. During that time, she handled HR, marketing, nursing, coordination, and operations herself. Furthermore, Dr. Levites shares the "one mistake" that cost her nearly a year and thousands of dollars.

    Doctor Epstein Went All in on Hair — with Jeffrey Epstein, MD (Ep. 333)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Jeffrey Epstein, MD, shares how we found great success after he went all in on hair in his Miami, Florida practice. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Doctor Epstein Went All in on Hair After 30 years in private practice, most surgeons start to slow down. However, not Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, he is a facial plastic surgeon in Miami who decided to specialize in one area — hair restoration. As a result, that single decision turned his practice into a global brand. Eventually, it also caught the attention of private equity investors. Now, in this week's episode of "Beauty and the Biz," Dr. Epstein explains how narrowing his focus became the key to long-term success. Specifically, he reveals: First, why going "all in" on one procedure made his practice recession-proof Next, how specialization built trust with affluent patients worldwide Then, what it's really like to partner with a PE firm while keeping control Finally, how mentoring new surgeons helped expand his legacy Therefore, if you want to grow your practice without losing your personal touch, this episode of "Beauty and the Biz" is a must-listen. Indeed, it's a master class in scaling without compromise. Still, private equity isn't right for everyone. However, Dr. Epstein's story shows how it can fuel growth while preserving control and integrity. Finally, practices that score highest on the Practice Growth Scorecard consistently outperform their peers. Therefore, don't guess where you stand — know for sure. 👉 Start the Scorecard Now Enjoy!

    Is Your Practice Culture Holding You Back? — with Lisa Marie Wark, MBA, PhD(c) (Ep. 332)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Lisa Marie Wark, MBA, PhD(c), shares pearls from her new book on how to know if your practice culture is holding you back and how to fix it. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Is your practice culture holding you back? Specifically, this week on "Beauty and the Biz," I sat down with Lisa Marie Wark, MBA, PhD(c). Therefore, she shared her insights as a consultant, fractional CEO, and author of the book "Patients, People, Process: A Modern Guide to Culture, Service, and Growth in Private Practice." Moreover, after more than 20 years behind the scenes of medical practices, Lisa has seen everything. Consequently, she knows what makes teams thrive — and what makes them toxic. Additionally, in this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," she explains how culture can make or break your success. Specifically, here's what we cover: The No. 1 sign of a dysfunctional culture (most surgeons miss it) How "loyal" employees can quietly block growth — or worse Simple process changes that keep you profitable and sane Leadership habits that turn burnout into high performance Furthermore, if your team feels flat or your revenue doesn't match your workload, this episode of "Beauty and the Biz" is for you. Similarly, Lisa shares a shocking story about a "trusted" manager who embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars — and how to make sure it never happens to you. Finally, practices that score highest on the Practice Growth Scorecard consistently outperform their peers. Therefore, don't guess where you stand — know for sure. 👉 Start the Scorecard Now Enjoy!

    What They Don't Teach You in Fellowship — with Raja Mohan , MD (Ep. 329)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Raja Mohan, MD, discusses what they don't teach you in fellowship and how he learned the business and marketing side of running a practice. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. What They Don't Teach You in Fellowship Specifically, Dr. Raja Mohan is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas. Additionally, he trained at MIT, Johns Hopkins and the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. However, when he completed his fellowship, he realized he had almost no training in the business side of medicine. Still, that didn't stop him. Instead, he started from scratch — with no office, no staff and no systems. Nevertheless, he built a thriving cosmetic surgery practice in one of the most competitive markets in the U.S. Chiefly, in this week's "Beauty and the Biz" podcast, Dr. Mohan explains: First, why joining a senior surgeon often feels like a "second fellowship" in business Next, the common mistakes new associates make with exit strategies — and how to avoid them Finally, how he built confidence as both a surgeon and a business owner by learning on the job Thus, his story proves that success in plastic surgery is more than surgical skill. Instead, it also requires resilience, adaptability and leadership. Finally, this "Beauty and the Biz" podcast episode is full of lessons most surgeons only learn the hard way. So, don't miss it. P.S.

    PCC Tools to Convert More Consults — with Catherine Maley, MBA (Ep. 325)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ PCC Tools to Convert More Consults with training, CRM, and incentives that help coordinators boost bookings, surgeries, and revenue growth. Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. PCC Tools to Convert More Consults into Surgeries Firstly, cosmetic patients today are sophisticated and skeptical. Additionally, they have endless information at their fingertips. Consequently, they shop around, compare surgeons, check reviews, scroll through before-and-after photos, and scrutinize your online presence before ever visiting your office. Therefore, your Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) is no longer just a "nice-to-have" role. Instead, it is a critical business driver. In fact, think of this role as your practice's chief revenue officer. Moreover, a skilled PCC connects with prospective patients. Furthermore, they build trust, answer tough questions, and guide hesitant consumers from curiosity to commitment. For example, if the average surgical case is worth $10,000, closing just five additional surgeries per month adds $50,000. Consequently, this translates to $600,000 annually. Also, this does not include repeat treatments, referrals, or lifetime value from patients who return for additional procedures. However, marketing dollars are wasted if consultations don't convert. In other words, spending $20,000 per month on ads and SEO is ineffective if your coordinator cannot build rapport, articulate your value, or confidently close. Therefore, the smartest practices invest heavily in their PCC. Specifically, they equip them with the right tools, training, and incentives to succeed. Hiring the Right Personality Firstly, conversion begins with connection. Additionally, patients care more about comfort with the person guiding them than credentials alone. Moreover, a PCC's role focuses on addressing emotions rather than technical details. For example, the coordinator should be likable, friendly, empathetic, confident, goal-oriented, self-motivated, disciplined, and a strong problem-solver. On the other hand, avoid candidates who are transactional, shy, or disorganized. Furthermore, PCCs must initiate conversations, guide discussions, and ask for decisions. Notably, technical knowledge can be taught. However, empathy, charisma, curiosity, and self-determination are innate qualities that cannot. In fact, one national survey found that over 70% of elective surgery patients cited a coordinator's warmth as a major factor in deciding to book. Ultimately, when hiring, consider presence, communication style, and the ability to connect. Consequently, a strong PCC can add millions in lifetime revenue. Set Clear Goals and Tie Them to Rewards Firstly, hiring the right personality is only step one. Additionally, even the best PCC underperforms without structure. Therefore, clear goals and meaningful rewards give your coordinator focus, motivation, and ownership over results. For instance, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's longtime partner, famously said, "Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." Accordingly, behavior almost always follows incentives. Too often, coordinators are treated as glorified receptionists. Instead, set defined key performance indicators (KPIs) and tie them to tangible rewards. Consequently, this elevates the role into a revenue-driving position. At minimum, PCCs should be measured on: Lead response time. Consultations booked. Show rate for consultations. Conversion rate from consult to surgery. Revenue collected through their efforts. Moreover, tracking these metrics identifies strengths and weaknesses. For example, if many consults are scheduled but few convert, objection-handling training is needed. Conversely, if conversions are strong but consults are few, lead generation needs improvement. Compensation Models Firstly, compensation can take several forms: Base Salary: Provides financial security and reduces desperation-based closing tactics. Flat Bonus per Surgery Booked: Simple and effective. For example, $200 per case. Tiered Bonus: $100 per case for the first 10, then $150 for the next 10. Percentage of Revenue: For instance, 1–2% of surgical revenue booked. Chargebacks: Cancelled cases reverse bonuses, motivating coordinators to ensure commitment. Furthermore, compensation is not only financial. Recognition and achievement matter. For example, monthly leaderboards, quarterly awards, and public praise encourage performance. However, avoid creating a prima donna. Instead, incentives should motivate while keeping team cohesion intact. Benchmarks to Aim For Firstly, industry benchmarks vary by practice. However, consult-to-surgery conversion averages 45–60%, often higher with professional PCC training. Additionally, lead response times should be under five minutes for calls and texts and under one hour for email. Consequently, goals and incentives transform your PCC from an administrator into a revenue growth engine. Provide the Right Tools Firstly, even the most charismatic coordinator cannot close consistently without proper tools. Consequently, expecting them to manage inquiries with sticky notes, memory, or cluttered email is ineffective. Therefore, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is crucial. For example, a CRM captures, organizes, and tracks every lead from inquiry to surgery. Additionally, look for: Lead capture from phone, website forms, social media, and referrals. Pipeline tracking to monitor patient progress. Task reminders to ensure follow-ups. Automated email and text messaging. Reporting dashboards to track KPIs. Call recording for documentation and quality assurance. Moreover, a CRM ensures that leads are followed up consistently. Data shows most patients require 7–10 touches before booking. Consequently, automation for emails and texts saves time and increases conversion. Furthermore, a CRM highlights gaps in your lead funnel. For example, you can see: How many inquiries came in. How many were contacted quickly. How many scheduled consults. How many showed up. How many booked surgery. For instance, a Miami practice implemented a CRM, automated follow-ups, and objection-handling scripts. Consequently, their consult-to-surgery rate rose from 48% to 71%, adding $750,000 in annual revenue without increasing marketing spend. Consultation Room Design Firstly, the consultation environment influences conversion. Consequently, create a private, professional room that supports PCC efforts. Moreover, environmental psychology shows that lighting, seating, and décor affect comfort and trust. For example, soft lighting and eye-level seating foster openness. Key elements include: Privacy: A closed, soundproof door ensures confidentiality. Comfortable seating: Arrange chairs to review photos and quotes together. Lighting: Soft, warm light creates calm, unlike harsh fluorescent lights. Décor: Neutral, elegant design reinforces professionalism. Technology: Screens or tablets help visualize results. In-house signage: Display awards and press features to build trust. Furthermore, an NYC practice redesigned its consultation room with plush chairs and warm lighting. Consequently, their consult-to-surgery conversion rose 17% within three months. Demonstrating Value Firstly, patients need clarity on why to choose your practice. Additionally, the PCC should communicate differentiators, such as surgeon experience, safety standards, advanced technology, and exceptional service. Moreover, the PCC can act as a walking testimonial. For example, if they've undergone a procedure themselves, their personal experience builds credibility. Furthermore, provide complementary consult cards for social distribution. Consequently, patients can easily schedule appointments. Also, storytelling helps overcome skepticism. For example, share patient success stories and photos that address common objections. Consequently, uncertainty transforms into confidence. Handling Price and Financing Firstly, price objections are common. Therefore, provide a clear financing menu including full payment, third-party financing, and prepayment incentives. Moreover, present options visually. Consequently, patients focus on comfort rather than affordability. For example, a New York practice implemented a one-page menu, and conversion rates rose 22%. Offering Strategic Wiggle Room Firstly, not every patient commits immediately. Therefore, subtle incentives encourage hesitant patients without lowering fees. Additionally, psychology shows that scarcity, urgency, and recognition motivate action. For example, offer limited-time perks, gifts with surgery, or multi-procedure savings. Consequently, your PCC can close more cases while maintaining value integrity. Training, Coaching, and Accountability Firstly, continuous development is essential. Additionally, PCCs must refine skills, practice objection-handling, and stay current on procedures and financing. Moreover, coaching should be ongoing. Consequently, schedule regular reviews, celebrate wins, address challenges, and track metrics such as lead-to-consult rate, consult-to-surgery rate, and revenue collected. For example, a Dallas practice implemented a weekly PCC scorecard. Consequently, consult-to-surgery rates rose from 41% to 68% in six months. Conclusion Firstly, the PCC is not just an appointment setter. Instead, they are the growth engine of your practice. Additionally, when properly hired, trained, incentivized, and equipped, they transform inquiries into loyal surgical patients. Furthermore, the strategies outlined—hiring for personality, setting measurable goals, providing systems, creating an ideal consultation environment, clarifying value, equipping sales tools, offering incentives, coaching, and tracking metrics—work together to maximize conversions. Ultimately, the cosmetic marketplace is more competitive than ever. Consequently, practices that invest in PCCs gain a strong competitive edge, converting consultations into revenue, referrals, and lasting patient relationships. Finally, don't wait. Train, equip, and support your PCC, and watch consultation conversion rates soar. For professional training and ongoing coaching, visit ConvertingAcademy.com.

So, get private early access: [Last Chance to Join the VIP Waitlist + Get the 5 Fixes Checklist] Why the Next 12 Months Will be Harder for Cosmetic Lead Gen — with Catherine Maley, MBA Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Why the Next 12 Months Will be Harder for Cosmetic Lead Gen In summary, this new episode of the "Beauty and the Biz" podcast explains why cosmetic practice lead gen will get harder over the next 12 months. Additionally, it is becoming more expensive. Here are two major reasons you should act now: AI leveled the playing field First, competitors—even solo injectors—can create pro-level blogs, ads, videos and social posts in minutes. Furthermore, the cost is almost zero. Also, they can look and sound like national brands without hiring agencies or paying for production. Consequently, the speed and volume of their content floods the market. Therefore, if you don't match their pace, your practice risks becoming invisible. Organic reach is dropping fast Similarly, social platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok prioritize paid ads. Thus, fewer of your followers see your posts unless you boost them. Likewise, Google search also pushes ads, maps and "People Also Ask" above organic results. Accordingly, ranking where patients click is harder than ever. Ultimately, chasing new leads will always matter. However, it's no longer the most reliable growth strategy. Finally, only one practice per market gets access to the solution I'll share. Hence, join now for the 5 Fixes Checklist and see how to grow without more staff or ad spend. [Join the Waitlist + Get the 5 Fixes Checklist] Enjoy!

    Cosmetic Patients: What They Want and Why — with Catherine Maley, MBA (Ep. 319)

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Specifically, on this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," Catherine Maley, MBA, talks about cosmetic patients, what they want, and why on Dr. Kim's "You Are Beautiful" podcast.

Furthermore, I'm also a consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Cosmetic Patients: What They Want and Why Recently, I joined Dr. Jae Kim on his "You Are Beautiful" podcast. Specifically, we discussed a topic we both care deeply about: the psychology of the cosmetic patient. In this episode, we talk about: First, what today's aesthetic patient really wants (spoiler: it's more than just a procedure) Next, how social media, status, and emotion influence decisions Then, why surgeons must master both their craft and their business Finally, the unspoken truths about consultations, pricing, and patient conversion Overall, if you serve cash-paying patients, this episode is a must-listen. Importantly, you'll walk away with insights you can use right away to attract and convert more patients. ⚡ P.S. Special Pricing Ends Soon Typically, smart practices use the summer slowdown to retrain, retool, and relaunch. Consequently, they're ready to grow when demand picks up again. However, this is your last chance before the special pricing expires. So, if you want your staff to: First, book more surgery consultations Second, convert more consults into procedures Third, cross-promote all of your services Then, the Summer Staff Accelerator Toolkit is the solution.

    📅 Schedule Your Practice Growth Strategy Review ⚙️ Restart your practice in 7 days ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Specifically, on this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," you'll discover what you can learn from Doctor Miami's wild growth and apply it to your own practice.

However, you may not know the business strategies that built his brand. This week on "Beauty and the Biz," I sat down with Michael Salzhauer, MD—also known as Dr. Miami. Specifically, he's a board-certified plastic surgeon who created a high-performing practice in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Indeed, he's not just a viral personality. Instead, he's a sharp entrepreneur with a solid business foundation. For example, he: First, bought a four-story building with parking, operating rooms, and recovery suites—all within walking distance of home Second, performs surgery daily and remains fully booked Third, outsourced consults and scheduling so his team can focus on clinical care Fourth, targets niche demographics that resonate with his message As a result, his high-volume practice runs smoothly and profitably. Additionally, we explored the systems that keep things moving, the mindset he applies to hiring, and the decisions that shaped his growth. Ultimately, even if you don't plan to go viral, you'll pick up strategies to scale smarter and faster. P.S. You don't need more leads — you need better conversions. Importantly, our three-part Summer Accelerator will teach your team how to turn more calls and consults into booked surgeries. Specifically, no discounting or extra stress required.

Furthermore, I'm also a consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. From $10K to Premium Practice Brand Indeed, maybe you're building your practice with grit and duct tape. Fortunately, you're not alone. Specifically, this week, on "Beauty and the Biz," I interviewed Dr. George Bitar. Furthermore, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon who grew up in war-torn Lebanon. Remarkably, starting with only $10,000 and a single exam room, Dr. Bitar built one of Virginia's most respected plastic surgery brands. To summarize, today, his premium practice includes: First, a 6,500-square-foot surgery center with two operating rooms and in-house anesthesia Second, a 3,500-square-foot medspa and wellness center Third, more than 25 team members across two locations Interestingly, during our conversation, we discussed the leadership and business choices that fueled his growth, including: Primarily, why he turns away 25% of consultations to protect his brand Additionally, how he builds loyalty by promoting from within Moreover, why every hire must be unanimously approved by his leadership team Finally, what tasks he delegates and what he keeps under his control Ultimately, if you want to grow your practice without losing your values or peace of mind, this episode is a must-listen. P.S. You don't need more leads — you need better conversions. Importantly, our three-part Summer Accelerator will teach your team how to turn more calls and consults into booked surgeries.
