Dr. Ryan Davis runs Davis Chiropractic Health & Wellness in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. For years, he was a solo practitioner doing 130-140 patients a week, making decent money, but completely stuck. Every vacation cost him not just the price of the trip but $10-20K in lost revenue and patient momentum.

Then he hired his first associate (even though he didn't think he could afford it), and everything changed. Now Ryan sees 450 patients a week across his team without burning out, travels when he wants, and has built systems that run whether he's in the room or not.

In this episode, Ryan breaks down how he uses CAs to handle subjective notes and patient prep, why he implemented AI for documentation while staying personally connected, and the team bonus system that keeps everyone growth-minded.

We dive into his facility expansion for handling volume, why extended hours and Saturday availability crush the competition, and the professional office upgrades that changed first impressions.

Ryan also gets real about the $600/hour lesson that forced him to stop doing low-value tasks, how he uses AI for brutal honest goal-setting, and his 5-10 year vision for partner buy-in and multi-clinic growth. If you're a solo doc stuck in the technician role or already scaling and want to handle serious volume without losing your mind, this is for you.
