The Uncaged Clinician

From Fear to Freedom: Dan Fogarty’s PT Journey


Listen Later

Ever wondered what it takes to grow your clinic from scratch and sell it for top value?

How do you protect your clinic’s legacy while stepping into your next chapter?

Hey there, Uncaged Clinicians! David Bayliff here, and today we’re diving into a story that’s equal parts inspiring, strategic, and downright real. I’m joined by my good friend, fellow Shenandoah University alum, and physical therapy powerhouse, Dan Fogarty. With over three decades of PT experience and five thriving clinics to his name, Dan has been through it all, from the nerves of opening his first practice to the complex (and emotional) process of selling his empire. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your clinic or wondered how to exit gracefully, this one’s for you.

 

In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you:

  • Why relationships, not marketing alone, are your clinic’s greatest growth tool

  • The role of “healthy fear” in long-term success

  • How to prepare your business for a future sale (even if it’s years away)

  • The emotional side of selling and choosing the right buyer

  • Financial and operational tips to make your clinic attractive to investors

Dan’s journey is proof that building a thriving clinic isn’t just about numbers; it’s about people, purpose, and planning. Whether you’re just starting or thinking about your next move, remember: fear can be a motivator, relationships are everything, and your exit strategy should start on day one.

Uncaged Hack: “The key to building a business is to have relationships.” —Dan Fogarty
