Dr. Tony Tran graduated chiropractic school in 2016 and followed a familiar path. He joined a personal injury focused clinic, learned the system, and fell into the trap many associates do early in their career- overworked and underpaid.

Over time, the model started to wear on him. The days felt repetitive. His schedule was full but his autonomy was limited. He wanted more control over how he practiced, how he spent his time, and how the business actually worked.

In 2020, during COVID, Tony opened Prolific Wellness.

He started in a 150 square foot office with a clear intention to build something different. Over time, he strategically dropped insurance panels, leaned into cash care, and kept PI patients only when he could control the quality and structure of care.

Today, Prolific Wellness operates out of a 1,500 square foot space with three treatment rooms and a team of  five people. The business is roughly 50 percent cash and 50 percent PI, with a long term goal of becoming fully cash based.

In this conversation, Tony breaks down the decisions, tradeoffs, and math behind building a practice that supports growth without sacrificing control.

Here’s what we talk about:

Tony’s story is a reminder that scale does not start with more space or more patients. It starts with understanding your model and building intentionally.
