The Business of Building a Medical Practice

There’s the practice of medicine, and then there’s the business of running a medical practice.

In this episode of Entrepreneurial Shades of Gray, Dani sits down with Dr. William Boyd, who has spent more than 30 years building and running his own practices. He shares why he chose private practice early in his career, how student loan debt factored into those decisions and some of the business lessons he had to learn along the way.

Dr. Boyd talks about the side of practice ownership that medical school doesn’t necessarily prepare you for, including hiring, managing a team and figuring out the financial side of running a successful practice. The conversation also follows the evolution of his career from OB/GYN to his work today with Epiphany in Fairhope, Alabama, and Peoria, Illinois, where his focus has expanded to include functional medicine and hormone health for both women and men.

It’s a conversation about what it takes to build a practice, adapt over time and continue finding new opportunities more than three decades into a career.
