Healthcare Business Growth Conversations

Most healthcare practices don't have a growth problem. They have a leakage problem.Claims that never get paid. Front desks drowning in calls while doctors burn out seeing patients. AR backlogs piling up before timely filing windows close. Most practice owners think they need more patients. The numbers say they're losing money on the patients they already have.Tim Boyle leads business development at Reva Global Medical, a company that places offshore medical virtual assistants (Philippines-based, HIPAA-certified) inside healthcare practices to plug those leaks. Before this, he played professional hockey. He's seen the inside of dozens of practices and can tell you exactly where the money is bleeding out.In this conversation with host Rakesh Reddy, Tim breaks down the cost math, the hidden revenue most practices don't know they're losing, and the playbook one diabetes clinic used to bring its no-show rate to 0%.What you'll learn:➡️ Why provider burnout is mostly an administrative problem, not a clinical one➡️ The $80,000 vs $32,000 cost math: in-house medical assistant vs offshore VA➡️ Why one IVF practice started with one VA and scaled to five➡️ How a VA found $15,000 in extra revenue for one practice in a single day➡️ The diabetes clinic that brought its no-show rate from chronic to zero➡️ The dental practice pre-appointment outreach playbook➡️ The HIPAA question every practice owner asks (and the real answer)➡️ What to demand from any VA provider before you sign up➡️ The one habit every well-run practice has in common➡️ Where the biggest revenue leaks usually live (front desk vs back-end billing)Whether you own a small practice, manage a multi-location group, or you're advising clinics on growth, this is the unfiltered look at where healthcare practices actually lose money and what to do about it.Connect with Tim Boyle and Reva Global Medical:Website: https://revaglobalmedical.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/revaglobalmedical/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reva-global-medical

Dr. Alvin Cowans opened Optimum Podiatry during COVID with only 5 patients in his first week. So he got in his car, packed cookies and snacks, and visited 12 doctor offices a day for two months straight. Today his clinic is full and he's opening a larger office in June.In this conversation with host Rakesh Reddy, Dr. Cowans breaks down exactly what he did, what residency never prepared him for, and what he wishes he had known before opening the doors.What you'll learn:1. The exact pitch he used walking into primary care offices, urgent cares, and OBGYN clinics2. The single biggest skill residency never taught him: leadership, payroll, and running a real business3. Why hiring for attitude beats hiring for experience, and how spots a bad hire in 2 weeks4. The systems every clinic should put in place first (front desk and back office)5. Why he believes insurance-only practices won't survive the next decade6. The hybrid cash-pay roadmap: 25% by year one, 50% by year ten, 75% long term7. What he'd do with $10K and zero patients today8. The one regret he can't shake: "I wish I'd opened 7 years earlier"Connect with Dr. Alvin Cowans, DPM:- Website: https://optimumpodiatryga.com⁠-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimumpodiatry/-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimumPodiatry/-YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@optimumpodiatry/

Some patients are paying $10,000 cash for surgery their insurance would cover.Dr. Tek Fish, DPM has friends with clinics across the country doing the same. And he's been quietly building this into his own practice for the last five years.Why?Because at a practice management conference five years ago, he heard a line that changed how he thought about the next 20 years of his career:"How much you get paid today by insurance is the most you will ever get paid for the rest of your career."Reimbursements have dropped every single year for the last five years. So Dr. Fish stopped waiting for the system to fix itself. He bought one machine, did the math on what one cash patient a month would deliver, and started rebuilding his clinic around a hybrid model.In this conversation with host Rakesh Reddy, Dr. Fish breaks down the economics, the pricing rule he uses for every cash-pay service, and the mindset shifts most doctors need to make before the math stops working entirely.What you'll learn:- Why patients pay $10,000 cash for surgery their insurance would cover (and the math from the patient's side that makes it rational)- Why insurance reimbursements keep dropping and what that means for solo practitioners- The first machine to buy if you want to start cash pay- The 80/50 pricing rule: 80% gross profit, 50% net profit- Why he charges the same prices in Portland that he'd charge in Detroit- "Don't decide for the patient if they can afford it" and why this single sentence changes everything- Why he spent $700,000 on coaching, books, and conferences in five years- "Money is a tool. Use it." The hard truth most owners refuse to accept- What practices will thrive over the next 5 years and which ones won'tWhether you're a doctor stuck on insurance reimbursements, a practice owner considering a hybrid model, or anyone curious about the real economics of running a clinic in 2026, this is the unfiltered playbook.Connect with Dr. Tek Fish, DPM: Website: https://www.cloverpodiatry.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cloverpodiatry/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tek-fish-a6557137b/

Because once you do, they know you're stuck. And that's when the pressure begins."On Integrative Medicine:Dr. Anisha Singh combined standard oncology (chemo, lumpectomy, radiation) with a strict Ayurvedic food protocol -- no supplements, just food. She returned to work after one week of surgical recovery, worked through all chemo sessions, and completed 30 days of radiation without fatigue, blisters, or neuropathy.

In a previous episode, Dr. Ardeshir Khademi shared the senior physician’s perspective on why buying an existing practice can be smarter than starting from scratch.Watch that conversation here: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/healthcarebusinessgrowth/episodes/Why-Young-Doctors-Should-BUY-a-Medical-Practice--Not-Start-One---Dr--Ardeshir-Khademi-Explains-e3cr3jo. In this episode, that principle comes to life.Dr. Paola Suglio is a prosthodontist and first-time practice owner who acquired a dental clinic that had been operating for over 20 years in Naples, Florida.After rebuilding her career in the U.S. as a foreign-trained dentist, she chose acquisition over a startup, stepping into an established practice with an existing team, patient base, and legacy.This conversation explores what it actually takes to inherit trust, lead through transition, and modernize care without breaking what already works. Dr. Suglio also shares how patient anxiety shaped her clinical philosophy, including her approach to stress-free dentistry and the thoughtful use of laughing gas as a tool for comfort, not marketing.Topics covered:Why acquiring a legacy practice can reduce risk for first-time ownersTaking over a 20-year practice and earning patient trustLeading inherited teams through modernization and changeDesigning a stress-free patient experience as a clinical philosophyLessons for dentists and physicians considering practice acquisitionTogether, these two episodes show both sides of the same decision, the principle behind practice acquisition, and the real-world execution of it.Links to Dr. Paola Suglio Assets:Website: https://www.palmpearldental.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/palmpearldental/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paola-suglio-96680815a/

“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”Healthcare is a $4.5 trillion industry, yet most clinicians are still skating to where the puck is, optimizing for legacy systems built around brick-and-mortar hospitals and manual workflows.Dr. Allan Stewart is doing the opposite.He believes healthcare is entering a “Gretzky Moment”, a once-in-a-generation shift where as much as $1 trillion will move from traditional infrastructure to Healthcare Intelligence.AI-driven systems, predictive care, and decision augmentation will redefine how medicine is practiced, and who holds leverage.About the Guest Dr. Allan Stewart:Dr. Allan Stewart, MD, is a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon who has performed more than 5,000 open-heart surgeries across six continents. He specializes in complex aortic disease, structural heart interventions, and advanced cardiac surgery.He completed his surgical training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University Medical Center, where he later served as Assistant Professor of Cardiac Surgery. Dr. Stewart went on to hold senior leadership roles at Mount Sinai Hospital, including leading the Center for Aortic Disease, giving him an inside view of the world’s top academic medical institutions.Currently, Dr. Stewart serves as Medical Director and Chief of Cardiac Surgery for the HCA Healthcare East Florida Division. His work increasingly sits at the intersection of clinical excellence, artificial intelligence, and global health policy, with a focus on improving outcomes at scale.A prolific clinical researcher, he has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters, served as a principal investigator in major TAVR and thoracic endograft trials, and is a graduate of Harvard Medical School’s Surgical Leadership Program. He has been consistently recognized among Best Doctors in America.In this episode, we explore why the service of surgery is reaching a ceiling, and why the next generation of healthcare leaders will be defined not just by clinical skill, but by their ability to leverage intelligence.Follow Dr. Allan Stewart:Website: https://drstewart.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AllanStewartMD/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.allanstewart/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Longevity-Surgeons-Prescription-Strength-Vitality/dp/B0FYCC422T

In this episode of Healthcare Business Growth Conversations, we are joined by Dr. John Ferguson, a surgeon with over 25 years of independent practice and the President-Elect of the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery.This is not a conversation about new tools or automation. It is a deep dive into how medical standards are defined, enforced, and protected at a time when technology is challenging the systems of authority behind them.Dr. Ferguson pulls back the curtain on what he calls the “broken engine” of medical boards, a system that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on manual validation, arbitrary failure rates, and psychometric rituals, rather than measuring true mastery. He explains why the future of medicine must shift from “mined” diamonds to precision-manufactured Content-Driven Intelligence.About the Guest Dr. John Ferguson: A practicing surgeon with 25+ years of clinical experience, board leadership, and exam committee governance, he brings real-world accountability to healthcare AI. He currently serves as President-Elect of the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery, Co-Chair of Written Exam Committees, Treasurer and Trustee of ABFCS/ABCS, and sits on the Board of Governors of the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS).He is Editor-in-Chief of StatPearls, overseeing validated medical education content used by thousands of clinicians, an AI Ethics Columnist for the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery, and a Contributor to The AI Journal. He is also an AI2030 Global Fellow, working on healthcare AI governance and the Algorithmic Integrity Program.After witnessing boards spend $100K+ annually and waste hundreds of volunteer hours while psychometric systems punished mastery, he founded EdAI Systems—an AI assessment platform built from inside board leadership, not as an external vendor. EdAI has achieved 100% customer retention across multiple medical specialty boards, reduced volunteer coordination time by 90%, and deployed 2,400+ psychometrically validated questions used in high-stakes certification exams.His work is grounded in content-controlled intelligence — AI constrained to curated, validated sources (StatPearls©), designed to say “I don’t know” rather than hallucinate. This approach is informed by chairing exam committees, paying malpractice insurance, and being accountable when systems fail.Awards include the 2013 William K. Miles Award for the highest score on the ABCS Written Exam.Mission: Scale expertise without sacrificing reliability. Build AI accountable to the professionals who face real consequences.
