Everyone talks about what they got wrong. This episode is different. Dr. Brad breaks down the exact moves that actually built his multi-million dollar independent primary care practice from the ground up — starting just nine months before COVID hit. From grinding 12-hour days with no lunch to strategic networking that sent him hundreds of patients, Brad shares the raw, real playbook: how to work smart and hard in the early days, why your network literally is your net worth, how to market yourself without shame, the importance of building SOPs and hiring great people (and paying them well), and how to filter out the noise and only listen to feedback that actually moves the needle. If you're starting or scaling an independent practice, this is the episode you need.

Medical school didn't just teach you medicine, it trained you to be afraid. Afraid to fail, afraid to negotiate, afraid to leave. In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down how the medical system deliberately (or not) engineers fear into physicians from day one, and why that fear is the #1 reason doctors stay stuck in employment contracts, underpaid and undervalued.

We'll talk about Walt Disney getting fired for "lacking creativity," Henry Ford losing two companies before building an empire, and how failure is a data point — not a verdict. Whether you're employed and thinking about ownership, or already in practice and too scared to take the next step, this episode is for you.

If you're ready to stop letting fear run your career, let's talk. Link in bio to connect with Dr. Brad directly.

ost practice owners think they have a growth problem, when in reality they have a revenue leak problem. In this episode, Brad breaks down the hidden ways medical practices lose money every day, from empty appointment slots and missed phone calls to weak recall systems, undercoding, billing delays, no-shows, and operationally weak providers. This is a practical episode for physicians and owners who want to tighten operations, improve collections, increase patient retention, and grow their practice without automatically spending more on marketing. If you own or operate a medical practice, this episode will help you spot the leaks, fix them, and lead with more discipline.

Most physicians think they need “more patients.” In reality, you need visibility, trust, and a brand. In this episode, I break down why clinical excellence doesn’t automatically translate into a full schedule—and what to do about it. We cover the practical marketing levers that actually move the needle: Google Business Profile setup, reviews that rank, basic local SEO, social media presence, referral relationships, and why relying on word-of-mouth alone can keep you slow for months. If your schedule is light (or you’re opening a new location), this is your playbook for building a real patient acquisition engine without losing control of your message.

In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down the top 10 patient complaints he hears in private practice—and explains why most of them are not actually doctor problems, but operations, workflow, and SOP failures.

If you want to improve patient experience, reduce negative reviews, and build a scalable medical practice, this is a must-listen for independent physicians and practice owners.https://www.investingdoc.com

Thinking about starting or scaling a private practice with a partner? In this episode, Dr. Brad breaks down how to vet a business partner like a “financial marriage”: align vision, define decision rights, set spending/voting thresholds, and put expectations in writing. Learn the biggest partnership red flags, why buyouts and valuations get messy, and a simple framework—prove value, define decision rights, then earn equity over time.

If I were starting a medical clinic from scratch, there are four marketing channels I would ignore early—because they’re typically low-intent, expensive, or distract you from what actually drives your first 1,000 patients. In this episode, I break down why I’d avoid (1) organic social media as a primary growth lever, (2) direct mailers/EDM, (3) “networking group” style marketing (LinkedIn/Chamber) as a patient acquisition strategy, and (4) pay-to-play listing/lead sites like WebMD and Yelp (plus other local ad packages that sound great but don’t convert). I also explain the exceptions (niche clinics, strong offers, hyper-specific markets) and why I’d focus on maxing out Google intent before spending time and money elsewhere.

In this episode, Brad breaks down medical billing for private practice owners—from credentialing and contracting to clean claims, denials, and collections. You’ll learn why billing success starts at the front desk, how clearinghouses and EMRs “scrub” claims, and why payment velocity is one of the most important numbers to track as you grow. Brad also explains what you realistically get in a 3–4% billing contract versus a higher-service model, including denial management, payment posting, reconciliation, and revenue-leak audits (think missed vaccines, EKG codes, and other common undercoding issues). If your average revenue per encounter is under target, this episode outlines how to troubleshoot the full workflow and identify where errors are happening—without ever crossing into fraud. Plus: when it makes sense to bring billing in-house, and where AI may (or may not) fit.

If you’re opening a new clinic, or launching a second or third location, getting patients in the door isn’t about “doing more marketing.” It’s about building a repeatable acquisition system: generate demand, convert that demand, and retain it long-term. In this episode, I break down the growth pipeline (awareness, trust, conversion, show rate, and retention), plus the practical fixes that stop leaks like missed calls, slow follow-up, and unclear messaging.#PrivatePractice

Choosing the wrong location can lock you into years of high overhead and slow growth. In this episode, Brad breaks down a repeatable framework for finding the right clinic site—rent vs buy by stage, ideal drive-time radius, competition and booking depth, demographics and income bands, payer mix, parking/traffic flow, safety (“wife test”), and why signage matters less than you think.
