You spent years becoming an exceptional physician. Nobody taught you how to run the business.
Strategic operations support for physician coaches, consultants, and clinic owners who are ready to build a business that actually runs without them.
Does this sound familiar?
You are managing a clinical career and a business, and everything still runs through you. Your team waits on you for decisions, and even what you delegated lands back on your desk.
There is no clear plan for this quarter, so projects sit half done and no one is holding you or your team to them. Revenue is growing, but you are not sure what the business actually keeps, or whether you are paying yourself consistently.
You wanted more flexibility. Instead you traded one demanding schedule for another, and the back end feels too messy to show anyone.
This is exactly where most of my clients started.
HerE IS WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE:
The decisions, the questions, and the follow-up come off your desk. Your team moves without waiting on you, and the business keeps going while you coach, see patients, or take a week away. That is the flexibility you started this business for.
You know what matters this quarter, someone holds you to it every week, and the projects you start get finished. You also know which offers are profitable and what the business keeps, and you pay yourself consistently.
For my clients, that has meant 40% fewer decisions reaching their desk each week, 60% fewer daily fires, and thousands of dollars a year saved on recurring expenses they no longer needed.
Whether you need a strategy for how your business runs or someone to hold you to it, I meet you where you are.
Step 1: The Workup
Free. 30 minutes
You walk away knowing what keeps pulling you back into the middle of your business, and the first thing to change.
You bring one specific challenge: a team that waits on you, a plan that never got made, or money you can’t quite account for. As a former RN and Nurse Manager, I understand your world before you say a word, so the full thirty minutes go to your business.
You leave with your clearest first step, in writing. It is yours to keep, whatever you decide next.
Step 2: The Diagnosis – Your 90-Day Map
$1,500 USD. One time.
You know where your time and money are leaking, which work to stop, and exactly what your next 90 days look like.
It is for the physician coach who knows something has to change and wants a clear plan before committing to anything ongoing.
After your 90-Day Map:
- You stop guessing. You can see what keeps pulling you back in and what you can hand off.
- You know where the money goes. Which offers are worth keeping, and what you can stop paying for.
- Your team knows what matters this quarter, who owns each piece, and what to let go of.
- You start the next morning with the plan in writing, after we walk through it together.
What it takes from you: two working sessions where we look honestly at where your business is today, across every area of it, and where you want it to go next. I do the strategic thinking and write the map.
Step 3: The Treatment – Strategic Partnership
Starting at $1,500 USD a month. Three-month minimum.
You have a clear strategy for the quarter and someone holding you to it every week, so your plan gets finished and fewer decisions land on your desk.
It focuses on how your business runs behind the scenes: your team, your projects, your numbers, and your profit. It is built for a physician coach who already has a VA, an OBM, or a small team to carry out the work.
How it runs: a weekly strategy call, a quarterly plan that I lead, and answers between calls within two business days. Because I work inside several physician-led businesses, I see patterns early, like the hire that is about to go sideways or the offer that earns less than it looks.
“You keep on track with regards to what our vision and goals are for this year. Keep tickling my brain to keep the priorities high of what I need to concentrate on this week.”
~ Dr. Sarah Smith, Physician Coach
At $250 to $350 an hour, one hour a week spent on work someone else could do costs you $13K to $18K a year.
No one to hand it to yet?
Strategic Partnership with Implementation. Starting at $2,500 USD a month. Three-month minimum.
You get the plan and the hands to carry it out, without hiring anyone.
Everything in the Strategic Partnership, plus an implementer on my team who does the work. The work gets done to your standard without you managing anyone. More implementation can be added when you need it.
What Clients Say
“I can think up an idea and suddenly there’s a landing page for me to go and look at. My role is now more in the tweaking and aligning rather than creating from scratch. That blank page that frightened me is gone.”
~ Dr. Sarah Smith, Physician Coach
“I highly recommend working with Donna. Her fresh set of eyes on my business found gaps, opportunities for growth, and support for our day to day business.”
~ Angela Pereira, First Line Education
