EPISODE QUOTES

“I see doctors placing an ad looking for a doctor to like them, want to live where they live, practice the same way they practice and so forth. But a true business actually creates a job description first.” (05:49)

“At the beginning, is looking to find out what the owner is trying to accomplish by hiring an associate? Are they looking for growth freedom, are they looking to double their visits, or are they looking for time freedom?” (06:26)

“If we can actually blood-type the doctor before we put them into the practice – that’s called the vetting round what we do at Chiro Match Makers – if we can determine that from the beginning and what you’re looking for as the owner, then what we can do is go out and look for that type of doctor.” (11:19)

“What’s really cool is they (Associate Doctors) build a practice through retention and one-on-one interaction. So, they like stability with a salary, but what they really see and where they would want to be bonused on is growth of the practice in general.” (15:35)

“Some of the most successful practices we see – not only in the Remarkable Practice, but across the globe – are practices that are run by entrepreneurs or business builders who take great care of their caregivers.” (18:39)

“If we put the right people in the right seats…that’s how we take leverage inside of healthcare.” (19:44)
