25 Years in Solo Practice and Still Going Strong — Dr. Victor Ferrari shares the simple systems that helped him build a steady, reputable cosmetic practice.
Specifically, Dr. Victor Ferrari is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Additionally, he is the founder of Premier Plastic Surgery Center and Premier Spa in Charlotte, North Carolina. Furthermore, he has been in private practice for more than 25 years. Consequently, he has a strong reputation in his community.
Currently, in this week’s "Beauty and the Biz" podcast, Dr. Ferrari shares his secrets. Explicitly, he explains what it really takes to build a long-standing solo cosmetic practice. Importantly, he did this without chasing every shiny object.
Interestingly, he would also be open to bringing in an associate surgeon. Ultimately, this would keep his surgical OR busy. Moreover, it would expand capacity and create more long-term leverage.
Notably, what stood out to me was his intentional focus on the fundamentals:
-
First, he chose a location across from a hospital to give patients confidence.
-
Next, he built a facility designed for growth that includes room for another surgeon.
-
Additionally, he added ancillary services that naturally feed surgical consults.
-
Furthermore, he respects the patient’s time with longer consults and minimal waiting.
-
Finally, he created office protocols so patient concerns are answered quickly.
Also, Dr. Ferrari talks about the business lessons he learned the hard way. For instance, trying to do everything himself became exhausting. Moreover, a dedicated patient care coordinator changed his conversion numbers dramatically.
Undoubtedly, this "Beauty and the Biz" episode is good for any surgeon. Specifically, it is ideal for those who want a solid, reputable practice. Consequently, that practice keeps growing without chaos.
P.S. Admittedly, you might be thinking about your own growth, staffing, or succession. Likewise, you might want to better leverage what you have already built. Fortunately, a Practice Performance Audit will help identify the hidden opportunities. Indeed, these opportunities are sitting inside your practice. Therefore, book your Practice Performance Audit today.
