Whilst this private practice channel is targeted at therapists, I find the content and advice you give is at least 95% applicable to setting up private practice in other medical fields. As a Facial Plastics surgeon who is in the process of setting up my own group practice, this advice is spot on. DO NOT name the practice after YOU. Don't have the practice dependent on your name and your reputation. Plus, surgeons can be quite prideful and egocentric (more than your average clinician) and no surgeon wants to be really obviously dwarfed by the owner in the website advertisement. I have dedicated 3.5 years post fellowship training (on top of my 5 years surgical training) to further subspecialise and train across Europe and Asia. But I am not about to make others who have done 1 year or indeed no fellowship training at all feel bad about it. Which is why I will have my own dedicated website with a link to the practice main website. I plan to limit the info on my "about me" page on the practice website and save that for my own website. As you said, the practice website is about making the other clinicians shine, not spotlight just one individual.
Love your work. « I am the michael jordan » hahahah. You do have a soothing voice and I am listening to this while driving! Thank you for helping out other therapist !
I just have a quick question, what are your thoughts on having a group practice where every clinician is an equal partner. Let's say 5 therapists opening a virtual-only group practice together and all being involved in the process of building the brand, the social media, the overhead stuff etc. And building it together rather than just one person being the owner and having to shoulder the weight of the managerial work. How might that set up be different??
You are better off having an associateship rather than a partnership. If it is a partnership, then if there are any legalities involving malpractice, the entire practice may be also held liable.
@@JohnOliverY I guess for me the approach would be less about trying to turn a profit for the business, and more about having a stable supportive company working with each other and sharing the costs of overhead.
Dr Ramani did a great video on the rise of narcissism in our culture on youtube, and in it, she discussed how avenues like YELP give personality disordered individuals a voice to destroy people. I had yelp at one point then realized I would never do it again for a private practice business. I had a former client who was using substances and because he couldn't find my office and was very high, I had to re-schedule him by phone. He took that opportunity to go on yelp to destroy my character and he went into a RAGE. His doctor who was the referral source nonethless made him delete his comments and he later apologized profusely to me about the referral. and that individuals actions. I wouldn't recommend YELP, people are brazen and too bold. if they want to leave a review bad enough google is enough in my opinion but do as you wish!

@@sunshinesmile94 can you explain the difference between associateship vs. Partnership
What would the financial benefits be if everyone is getting equal share as opposed to just running a solo practice?
