    Joe Lessard on What a Fair Price For a Practice Really means

    When selling your practice, a fair price is not necessarily the price you set or the price you need. It’s a good to have an idea of a fair price for your practice before you start the selling process. My guest helps his clients wrap their arms around this concept, and he’ll explain it to us. Joe Lessard is a partner at Professional Business Management, a healthcare practice management and accounting firm in the northwest Chicago suburbs. Joe has been with PBM since 2009 and a Principal since 2020. He has attained designations as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Health Practice Advisor (HPA), and as a Certified Healthcare Business Consultant (CHBC). He believes in rolling up his sleeves and is usually on site visiting his clients’ operations first-hand. Joe is responsible for all accounting and payroll services as well as personal and business tax returns for his clients. He helps them review operations and day-to-day aspects such as HR, employee benefits, retirement plans, collections, billing, and patient interactions. Every client has different needs and that’s why Joe’s commitment to his clients’ needs and his customer service is what he prides himself on.

Prior to her current business, Lisa held senior level leadership roles at Fidelity Investments, and she leverages these experiences to help her clients achieve business excellence.

    Bob Whittemore on The Pros & Cons of MSOs

    Gaining traction in the private practice segment is the medical service organization. They’re not new, but what is still a little new is that private practices are becoming owners of them, not just private equity. That means the MSO is a vehicle to stay independent. What is it? Is it a good move for you?  Bob Whittemore is a consultant in the Healthcare Services Group with WebsterRodgers, an accounting and consulting firm in South Carolina. Bob has over three decades of experience both as a senior executive at large physician practices and as a commercial lender at some of the country’s biggest banks. Bob brings practical and insightful understanding of the regulatory, financial, and operational pressures that healthcare entities encounter. In his consulting role, Bob advises physicians and their practices in the areas of operational and financial improvement, compensation, and overall practice optimization.

    Ashley Gay on What's Truly In A Brand

    A brand is more than some people think, but simpler than a lot of people think, all at the same time. It’s way more than a logo, but boils down to a promise you make to your patients. Problem is, so many practices think it’s more and miss the simplicity.  Ashley Gay is the founder of Digital Ash Agency, a boutique healthcare branding firm that helps physicians launch and grow independent practices. With 25 years in branding and design, she built her husband's oculofacial plastic surgery practice under an 18-month noncompete — hitting $1 million in billables and 261 referring physicians in year one. She now works exclusively with MDs and DOs, building brands, websites, and patient acquisition systems for practices that want to stay independent. In this episode Carl White and Ashley Gay discuss: Why brand is so misunderstood amongst practice owners What state she finds brands in when she first works with clients What really goes into a brand and what does not Want to be a guest on PracticeCare®?

Probably not, but if I lined up 10 practice owners with staff and asked them how many have systematized their training, I bet only a couple would say they have.

Dr. Corey Malnikof does just that in his practices, and he shared some tips on this episode. Dr. Corey Malnikof is the CEO of Palmercare Group, a healthcare organization operating 24 chiropractic clinics across the United States. He is an entrepreneur, speaker, and leader known for building high-performing teams, scalable systems, and world-class patient experiences while helping transform lives through health and wellness.
