Building a private practice can be one of the most rewarding paths for healthcare providers—but it also comes with challenges that many clinicians are never trained to navigate.

In this episode of the PelviBiz Podcast, Dr. Kelly Alhooie sits down with Julie Sarton to discuss what it truly takes to survive and thrive as a private practice owner.

Many physical therapists, pelvic health providers, chiropractors, and healthcare entrepreneurs start their private practices with strong clinical skills but little preparation for the realities of running a business. Without the right support, systems, and leadership skills, private practice ownership can quickly feel overwhelming.

Julie Sarton shares her perspective on the journey of building a successful private practice and the lessons she has learned along the way. From navigating the early stages of practice ownership to building sustainable systems that support long-term growth, this conversation provides insight into the mindset and strategies required for healthcare entrepreneurship.

Private practice ownership requires more than clinical expertise. Healthcare providers must also develop skills in leadership, communication, marketing, patient experience, and business operations. When these elements are aligned, providers can create practices that serve patients well while also supporting the practitioner’s professional and personal goals.

This episode explores the challenges many clinicians face when transitioning from employee to practice owner, including building patient flow, managing time effectively, and creating systems that allow the business to grow sustainably.

For healthcare providers considering private practice or those currently navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, understanding how to build resilience and develop strong business foundations is critical for long-term success.

If you are a physical therapist, pelvic health provider, chiropractor, nurse practitioner, or healthcare entrepreneur, this conversation offers valuable insight into what it really takes to build a thriving healthcare business.
