Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TT Ep 158 - The Critical Legal Documents Behind the Transition
Q: What should you understand about an associate agreement and what to look for?
Look for specificity in compensation structures, day-to-day expectations, benefits, reimbursements for continuing education, and especially how non-competes or restrictive covenants will apply given the states involved; ensure language matches what the parties mean.
TT Ep 158 - The Critical Legal Documents Behind the Transition
Q: What kind of questions should I be asking when engaging someone for a transition?
Ask about primary point of contact, expected turnaround times, and especially whether there is a good personality and communication fit; also inquire about fees and how they charge, since this is a major financial investment.
TT Ep 157 - Change Creates Opportunity with Dr. Adam Lamprecht Part 2
Q: What advice would you give to someone who is looking to buy their first practice or bring on a partner?
Begin with assembling a strong evaluation team to analyze the practice, understand where you want to live long term, and if possible, work in the practice beforehand to gauge fit and culture before committing.
TT Ep 156 - Change Creates Opportunity with Dr. Adam Lamprecht Part 1
Q: How did you handle the transition when the associate reduced hours and the older doctor needed to step back?
We reassessed staffing, added new clinicians, and migrated patients across to our main location, while ensuring the remaining team stayed engaged and supportive of the change.
TT Ep 156 - Change Creates Opportunity with Dr. Adam Lamprecht Part 1
Q: What were the biggest challenges when you expanded to a second location and then consolidated?
The main hurdles were aligning two established teams, integrating cultures, and maintaining day-to-day efficiency while expanding space and services, which required careful planning and communication with the staff.
