New Practice question

[Cranial_Nerve]

I am currently working on a new practice and I wanted to know how realistic it would be to hire a physician from the get go? I don't intend to practice clinically myself. I plan on running the practice though. Anyone else done this?

Sounds like an expensive endeavor to start a new clinic with no patients and a salary for a full time doctor. What are you hoping to get out of this situation?

Anything is possible with enough cash to burn. We dont know your business situation so its tough to answer

A very long time ago (1984) fresh out of my fellowship an M.D. in Pennsylvania wanted to hire me to do injections and evaluation for a spine center. What intrigued me was he also planned to hire a neurosurgeon. I thought that was really cool (an anesthesiologist hiring a neurosurgeon) but i really wanted to go back to CA. Which i did, and got a job with an HMO. Personally i would hate to run a practice.

It's more sensible for non-operative specialists to hire surgeons and tell them when to operate than for surgeons to hire interventionists.
