➡️ He Left the Partnership and Here's Why — Samuel Salcedo, MD, a private practice plastic surgeon in Corona, CA.
Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery.
As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits.
He Left the Partnership and Here's Why — Starting a private practice is not just a business decision. It is a mindset shift.
First, when you enter the marketplace after training, joining a mature practice is typical. However, realizing your long-term vision no longer aligns with the practice often happens later. Therefore, you have to make the difficult decision to start over. Next, you must build something of your own.
Ultimately, "He Left the Partnership. Here's Why." is the perfect theme for this topic. Specifically, that is exactly what my recent "Beauty and the Biz Podcast" guest accomplished. Thus, Dr. Samuel Salcedo, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, founded The Plastics Doc & Med Spa in Corona, California. Naturally, he shares what it was really like to transition into private practice. Additionally, he discusses the lessons learned along the way. Furthermore, he explains what he would do differently today.

P.S. if you are serious about growing your practice, do not rely on trial and error. Instead, my new "Beauty and the Biz Practice Growth Playbook" (LINK: booksale.catherinemaley.com) distills the best business, marketing and leadership lessons. Specifically, I learned these from interviewing more than 175 top plastic surgeons. Truly, it is like having their collective wisdom on your bookshelf.
