The cuts to reimbursement keep on coming. Diversifying your income stream is important, but many physicians don’t know how, don’t have time, or don’t have the resources.

Draw upon the successful track record of surgeons and practices that have already made changes to offer patients more choices, shifting the trajectory of their practice for the better.
