A combination pediatric/orthodontic practice seems to be an increasingly common practice form.  This episode is about what you need to know about the demographics in order to find a successful place to purchase a practice or to set-up a new office.  It is more than just finding a place with lots of kids.  The calculation can be tricky.

The purpose of this podcast is to help doctors identify where to set-up and to purchase practices.  We provide demographic site analysis and evaluation for that purpose.  This episode explores the correlation of locations that have strong job growth and potential for new patients and strong production.  True, the issues are not always simple but a smart doctor should know what is going on and where.

Americans are looking for inexpensive places to retire with lots of outdoor recreation, a little sophistication, and lots to do.  Louisiana is rising, especially for retirees.  Of all the southern states, it stands out for arts, education, expense, and potential.  But there is some poverty and the weather can be terrible. Still, the state has a great deal to recommend it including acceptable competition ratios!

If you want to make your aspirations in professional practice a reality, you need to choose the right place to open or to purchase.  This episode tells you the process. Don't miss it!

This is a list of 11 markets that are leading the way.  They are places that are showing significant growth and communities that doctors may want to investigate on where to practice. They are neither rich nor popular but they are great bread-and-butter communities.
