Trial and error.

If you don't know anyone, and people you don't know anyone, you have to cast a wide net and interview a lot of people. Finding someone with experience at what you want is hard, and you'll have hundreds of under-qualified (and a few over-qualified in this economy).

Advertise the position, sift through hundreds of resumes for ones that have the experience, then interview. Then do a trial. Everyone should be hired for every job with the expectation that it is a 90-day trial. If they don't meet your expectations, cut the ties sooner than later. Then cast your net again.

Welcome to the wonderful world of being the boss of a business you were not trained for.

good office managers are at current well run offices. You could always found out from drug reps or device reps which offices are well run (not necessarily a pain clinic). You could lure them away with a better location (closer to home or school), better pay, better hours(which you probably could offer over a lot of other specialties).

As it has been said before:

Why did you rob banks?
Thats where the money is.

First you hire several crappy ones, maybe even one that almost puts you out of business. Then you know what to look for.
