Thinking about starting your own practice, but worried you’ll be fielding patient messages at all hours of the day and night?

It’s a concern I hear often from physicians considering independence—the fear that once the layers of corporate support are gone, everything lands on your plate. With no admin buffer, you imagine yourself dealing with every message, every request, and every “quick question” that shows up after hours.

In this episode, I break down where that fear actually comes from and what really happens when you start a practice from zero. We talk about realistic patient volumes, boundaries that hold up in real life, and how much control you actually have over who becomes a patient and how they interact with you.
