#24: Setting Your Clinic Hours


Listen Later

One of the early important decisions you’ll make in private practice is when your clinic will be open. At first glance, it might feel like a small logistical detail — but the truth is, your hours shape your patient flow, your staff’s rhythm, and your own sustainability as a physician.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
  • Why setting your own hours is one of the biggest mindset shifts in private practice
  • How to build in admin time so you’re not stuck working nights and weekends
  • The importance of cushion time for your staff before and after clinic
  • Why consistency matters and how it builds trust with patients
  • Where and how to post your hours so patients can easily find them
  • Whether you're in the early planning stages or refining your current schedule, this conversation will help you design clinic hours that actually work for you.
