FAQ's

Q:  What are Feasibility Studies and how can they benefit me?
Whether you’re looking to add a new component, expand your facility, or open up a new practice or ASC, it is best to have a feasibility study performed first to avoid losing money, narrow the scope if goals are too broad, and/or open up new areas for expansion based on the results of the study.

Q: What type of positions do you have for employment?

Most of our positions offer a choice of being an employee, independent contractor, or partner. Options include private practice settings, group settings, or facility settings which could include ASCs or hospitals.  We can find or create the position for you within our extensive network.

Q: What's the compensation package like and how does it compare to mine?

It depends on how motivated you are, how involved you want to be, and what status you choose. We are very aggressive in how we compensate and the majority of our physicians make more as an employee than someone who owns their own clinic.

Q: What can you do to help me start my own clinic?

We can be involved as much as you'd like us to be - from doing some research and feasibility studies to opening the doors to your clinic- we can walk you through every step. We have a proven system in place that can help ensure your success, make you more profitable, and have it happen much sooner than if you did it all on your own.

Q: Why should I consider a consultant for my practice?

Because we work with pain practices all over the country, we can give you up-to-date data of what is working and not working for other practices.
