WCI #227: Starting a Medical Practice

Dr. Jim Dahle of the White Coat Investor
About this episode

When you own your practice, you're able to give better care, have more control and less burnout over your professional life. In general, you make more money too. So, it is mostly all positive, although it does take some work upfront. Will and Juli Albright have been sharing their knowledge of practice startups on the blog for a couple of years, since they started their practice, Alamo Plastic Surgery. Will is the surgeon and Juli is the chief financial officer. They both join us in this episode to talk about their motivation to open a practice, the steps it took, the biggest obstacles and challenges, navigating salaries and benefits for employees, guarding against embezzlement, and marketing the practice. https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/medical-practice-startup/
