Tracking Treatments to Break $2M Production



Episode Description


Are you busy all day but still unsure which treatments are actually driving your production? Many podiatrists work harder each year without clear visibility into what services move the needle — and which ones quietly drain time and margin.


In this episode of Podiatry Practice Mastery, the focus is on real-world clinic flow, daily treatment tracking, and how intentional systems improve both patient care and revenue. Through multiple full clinic days, this episode breaks down shockwave therapy, orthotics, procedures, DME, follow-ups, and how small operational tweaks compound toward $2M+ individual production.


The episode also dives into under-discussed practice improvements: using admin email systems to capture leads, delegating orthotic follow-ups appropriately, increasing confidence with laser treatments, and adopting a “running commentary” exam style to improve patient understanding and trust.
