In this episode, Dr. Vishal P. Rekhala, an interventional pain management specialist, joins us to explore a game-changing approach to launching private medical practices through Independent Practice Partners (IPP). We unpack how IPP helps physicians go from concept to fully operational practice in as little as six months — without the usual red tape and overwhelm.

Dr. Rekhala shares how a visionary group of ophthalmologists founded IPP to challenge the status quo and empower doctors to reclaim control of their careers. We discuss how this model is giving new life to private practice, especially at a time when many physicians feel trapped by hospital systems and insurance giants.

As consolidation tightens its grip on healthcare, this conversation reveals how IPP offers a path to autonomy, financial growth, and better work-life balance — something many young doctors crave but struggle to achieve. We also spotlight the critical role of medical sales reps in this journey, acting as trusted guides who help physicians navigate the complex terrain of starting and scaling their own practices.

From revenue cycle management and regulatory hurdles to the rise of boutique cash-pay practices, this episode is packed with real-world insights for physicians and sales professionals alike. Whether you're a doctor dreaming of independence or a rep looking to expand your impact, this conversation is your roadmap to thriving in today's evolving medical landscape.
