When my wife and I opened Dr. Fischer, MD on February 6th of this year, we had just one single patient. This past week, we signed up our 100th patient. That’s 100 patients in just nine months.
When we first opened, many people asked me how we could possibly be successful with this business model. I was very confident we would be, but of course you can’t know for sure if something is going to work until you actually try it. Well, we’ve tried it, and here are a few facts:
The consultant who helped us set this practice up (and who was also very confident we would be successful) projected that we’d be at about fifty patients at this point. We are now at double that amount.
We are already profitable as a business
In roughly another forty patients, I will match what I was earning at my last job
If you are a fellow physician thinking about setting up a practice like ours, my advice is to get off the fence and do it. You won’t fail. And feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to ask any questions.
If you are a patient who is thinking of checking out our practice, don’t delay scheduling your free meet and greet. At the rate we are growing, it will only be a few more months before we have to slow down the number of new patients we can take on.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all of our patients who have made us a success. It’s a true honor and privilege to be entrusted with your medical care.
