Business/Practice

[Guest guest]

I was hoping to get a little feedback with everyone's practice/business experience: What is the percentage of patients (give or take) are coming in for treatment for specific disease patterns (I.E Infertility, IBS, H/A) vs coming in for preventative health and wellness. School seemed to be Disease pattern orientated, but I am finding some people are looking for one or the other. Most people that advertise there practice are promoting specific areas of care (the generic Low back pain, H/A, Gynecology complaints...) Chiropractic offices tend to promote the wellness and continued care end...

Along the same lines. I am currently about 7 months

from being done with school and plan to open my own

practice. I have been to the www.100kacupuncture.com

and found it very helpful as well as Bob Flaws article

about 1 year out. I would love any input from others

out there about pitfalls and expectations. I am in St

Pete florida, There are a number of ap's in the area.

I have run my own biz before so I unfortunately know

what I am getting into. I am decent at marketing. I

have had a hard time getting any one to give me an

idea of 1st year expectations for pt load. My rough

biz plan that I am working on sets a goal of 3 pt a

day 4 days/wk at 1 year. This is break even (with me

drawing a modest salary). This appears to be very

conservative I thing but want a straight answer. I

plan to take insurance when possible (took a great

seminar, but time will tell) I enjoy public speaking

and most important have had great result as a treating

intern. Love to hear some 1st year stories, pitfalls

or hard numbers.

Also thoughts on S corp Vs LLC Vs ?

thanks
