In this vlog, Brad , MD breaks down a viral Direct Primary Care discussion where physicians shared that they were one to two years into practice ownership without making a profit. He explains why starting a DPC or primary care practice is not just about escaping employment, but about building a real business with a clear vision, strong marketing, pricing strategy, and scalable patient acquisition. Brad compares DPC versus fee-for-service primary care, explains why going after one patient at a time can slow growth, and shares why physicians need to think like business owners if they want to build a profitable medical practice.

Being a kind doctor is a strength — until it starts costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this episode, Brad gets brutally honest about the biggest mistakes he made while scaling his multi-million dollar primary care practice. From a biller who nearly bankrupted his clinic by hiding that she didn't know what she was doing, to keeping underperforming employees out of loyalty, to letting high-maintenance patients walk all over him, Brad breaks down the costly lessons he learned the hard way. If you're a practice owner who struggles to fire fast, set boundaries, or stop bending your own rules for difficult patients and staff, this one's for you. Learn how to stay kind while running your business like a business.

A must-listen for physicians who want to start, grow, or scale their own practice.

Feeling stressed, stuck, or burned out by your medical practice? In this podcast, Brad breaks down why practice owners need a quarterly audit to identify the biggest sources of stress, friction, and inefficiency. From portal messages and staffing problems to anxiety, indecision, and broken systems, this episode shows physicians how to step back, find the real bottlenecks, and create a plan to fix them so they can grow a healthier, more profitable practice.

In this video, Brad breaks down how independent medical practices can use AI, VS Code, and machine readable files to uncover competitor reimbursement rates and negotiate better insurance contracts. Learn how to access transparency in coverage data, compare CPT code payments, and use this information to strengthen your payer negotiations and grow your practice.

Everyone talks about what they got wrong. This episode is different. Dr. Brad breaks down the exact moves that actually built his multi-million dollar independent primary care practice from the ground up — starting just nine months before COVID hit. From grinding 12-hour days with no lunch to strategic networking that sent him hundreds of patients, Brad shares the raw, real playbook: how to work smart and hard in the early days, why your network literally is your net worth, how to market yourself without shame, the importance of building SOPs and hiring great people (and paying them well), and how to filter out the noise and only listen to feedback that actually moves the needle.

E-Mail me at : [email protected]://www.investingdoc.comMedical school didn't just teach you medicine, it trained you to be afraid. Afraid to fail, afraid to negotiate, afraid to leave. In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down how the medical system deliberately (or not) engineers fear into physicians from day one, and why that fear is the #1 reason doctors stay stuck in employment contracts, underpaid and undervalued.We'll talk about Walt Disney getting fired for "lacking creativity," Henry Ford losing two companies before building an empire, and how failure is a data point — not a verdict. Whether you're employed and thinking about ownership, or already in practice and too scared to take the next step, this episode is for you.If you're ready to stop letting fear run your career, let's talk.

ost practice owners think they have a growth problem, when in reality they have a revenue leak problem. In this episode, Brad breaks down the hidden ways medical practices lose money every day, from empty appointment slots and missed phone calls to weak recall systems, undercoding, billing delays, no-shows, and operationally weak providers. This is a practical episode for physicians and owners who want to tighten operations, improve collections, increase patient retention, and grow their practice without automatically spending more on marketing. If you own or operate a medical practice, this episode will help you spot the leaks, fix them, and lead with more discipline.

Most physicians think they need “more patients.” In reality, you need visibility, trust, and a brand. In this episode, I break down why clinical excellence doesn’t automatically translate into a full schedule—and what to do about it. We cover the practical marketing levers that actually move the needle: Google Business Profile setup, reviews that rank, basic local SEO, social media presence, referral relationships, and why relying on word-of-mouth alone can keep you slow for months. If your schedule is light (or you’re opening a new location), this is your playbook for building a real patient acquisition engine without losing control of your message.Everything relatedto entrepreneurship and running a medical practice as a physician. Mywebsite 🖥️:  https://www.investingdoc.com Mypodcast Spotify Link🎧:  https://open.spotify.com/show/3JxluO7mJOSE312G1Ul9dgApplePodcast Link 🎧: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/investingdoc/id1790276462 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investingdoc/My Twitter:  https://x.com/InvestingDocMy FacebookGroup:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingdocReddit Group: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivatePracticeDocs/ Want to consult withme for your practice: Book here. https://investingdoc.com/consulting

In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down the top 10 patient complaints he hears in private practice—and explains why most of them are not actually doctor problems, but operations, workflow, and SOP failures.

If I were starting a medical clinic from scratch, there are four marketing channels I would ignore early—because they’re typically low-intent, expensive, or distract you from what actually drives your first 1,000 patients. In this episode, I break down why I’d avoid (1) organic social media as a primary growth lever, (2) direct mailers/EDM, (3) “networking group” style marketing (LinkedIn/Chamber) as a patient acquisition strategy, and (4) pay-to-play listing/lead sites like WebMD and Yelp (plus other local ad packages that sound great but don’t convert). I also explain the exceptions (niche clinics, strong offers, hyper-specific markets) and why I’d focus on maxing out Google intent before spending time and money elsewhere.

want to connect with me about joining my MSO or have my office do your billing or credentialing? Email me as [email protected] this episode, Brad breaks down medical billing for private practice owners—from credentialing and contracting to clean claims, denials, and collections. You’ll learn why billing success starts at the front desk, how clearinghouses and EMRs “scrub” claims, and why payment velocity is one of the most important numbers to track as you grow. Brad also explains what you realistically get in a 3–4% billing contract versus a higher-service model, including denial management, payment posting, reconciliation, and revenue-leak audits (think missed vaccines, EKG codes, and other common undercoding issues). If your average revenue per encounter is under target, this episode outlines how to troubleshoot the full workflow and identify where errors are happening—without ever crossing into fraud. Plus: when it makes sense to bring billing in-house, and where AI may (or may not) fit. #MedicalBilling #PrivatePractice #PracticeManagement #RevenueCycleManagement #RCM #Credentialing #HealthcareBusiness #PhysicianEntrepreneur #MedicalPracticeOwner #ClinicOperations #InsuranceContracts #ClaimsProcessing #DenialManagement #CashFlow #PracticeGrowth #HealthcareEntrepreneur #PrimaryCare #EMR #BillingAndCoding #MSO

If you’re opening a new clinic, or launching a second or third location, getting patients in the door isn’t about “doing more marketing.” It’s about building a repeatable acquisition system: generate demand, convert that demand, and retain it long-term. In this episode, I break down the growth pipeline (awareness, trust, conversion, show rate, and retention), plus the practical fixes that stop leaks like missed calls, slow follow-up, and unclear messaging.#PrivatePractice#MedicalMarketing#PracticeGrowth#PatientAcquisition#HealthcareEntrepreneur Mywebsite 🖥️:  https://www.investingdoc.com Mypodcast Spotify Link🎧:  https://open.spotify.com/show/3JxluO7mJOSE312G1Ul9dgApplePodcast Link 🎧: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/investingdoc/id1790276462 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investingdoc/My Twitter:  https://x.com/InvestingDocMy FacebookGroup:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingdocReddit Group: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivatePracticeDocs/ Want to consult withme for your practice: Book here. https://investingdoc.com/consulting

Choosing the wrong location can lock you into years of high overhead and slow growth. In this episode, Brad breaks down a repeatable framework for finding the right clinic site—rent vs buy by stage, ideal drive-time radius, competition and booking depth, demographics and income bands, payer mix, parking/traffic flow, safety (“wife test”), and why signage matters less than you think.

Complaining doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’ve identified a gap between the life you want and the life you’re living.In this episode, Dr. Brad, former hospitalist turned multi-million-dollar practice owner breaks down why so many physicians feel stuck, underpaid, exhausted, and frustrated… and why venting alone never fixes it.Using real examples from his own journey and conversations with burned-out doctors, Brad introduces a simple but powerful framework: every complaint falls into one of four categories—money, time, control, or energy.You’ll learn:Why burnout is often a boundary problem, not a workload problemHow to translate complaints into clear, actionable decisionsWhat feeling “trapped in the system” actually means—and how to regain leverageWhy motivation follows movement, not the other way aroundHow small, uncomfortable actions compound into long-term ownership and freedomIf you’re a physician who feels drained, underpaid, or boxed in by employment medicine, this episode will help you stop venting—and start leading your own life again.

Most doctors believe money, competition, or fear is what stops them from owning a medical practice. In reality, it’s perfectionism.In this episode, Dr. Brad —internal medicine physician and owner of a multi-million-dollar independent primary care practice—breaks down why waiting for the “perfect” logo, website, EHR, pricing model, or business plan is just procrastination with better branding.Drawing from real mistakes, hard-earned lessons, and over 650 physician consults, Dr. Brad explains why momentum beats planning, why action beats caution, and how doctors can build a minimum viable practice instead of an imaginary perfect one. From choosing a location and EHR to pricing services, hiring staff, and launching marketing, this episode provides a practical framework for starting before you feel ready—and fixing everything in motion.If you’re a physician stuck in analysis paralysis, overwhelmed by decisions, or afraid of making mistakes, this episode is your wake-up call.

Demand beats perfection every single time — especially in medicine.In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down why demand is the single most important metric when starting or scaling a medical practice.

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest mindset shifts that helped me scale my private practice: learning to delegate outcomes, not tasks. Most doctors end up micromanaging because they assign small, disconnected duties instead of empowering their team to own results.
