Why Go Solo?

Ever since going solo, I have found my passion for being a doctor again. I control my schedule, meaning I can dedicate as much time as my patients truly need. More importantly, I have the ability to schedule clinic in a way where I can focus on the most important aspect in my life: my family. Additionally, with minimal overhead costs, favorable tax advantages, and the opportunity to explore diverse financial opportunities as a business proprietor, a startup medical practice holds the potential for significant success. In short, going solo has enabled me work-life-financial balance. Starting a private practice is the best decision I have ever made.

In medical school and residency, I learned everything I wanted to know about pathophysiology, pharmacology, and eye surgery. I wish I was taught more about the real world: like starting a private practice, the business of medicine, work-life balance etc. I hope to share my journey and maybe inspire others to see what opening your own practice can do for you, your career, and your future patients.
