DESCRIPTION


Do you actually know the numbers that drive your podiatry practice—or are you guessing?


In this episode, Don explains why most podiatrists struggle to grow because they don’t track the right metrics. While clinical training focuses on diagnosis and treatment, private practice success comes down to understanding key numbers like visit volume, average visit value, and treatment acceptance. He introduces the “$80K rule” to break annual goals into monthly and weekly targets, making growth measurable and actionable.


You’ll learn how to track daily performance, identify your most valuable patients, and evaluate how well you’re delivering treatment plans. Don also shares a critical shift in approach—starting with the best treatment option instead of working up from minimal care. This simple change improves patient outcomes, increases case acceptance, and drives higher production without increasing patient volume.
