What she built is a 150-square-foot, cash-pay, hybrid telemedicine practice that now spans 17 states, runs with a lean virtual team, and sees patients from 9 to 4 with no after-hours calls. She calls it a micropractice, and it's exactly what it sounds like. John and Kara get into the full story: navigating a non-compete that almost blocked her from seeing patients in her own city, building a referral network from scratch without paid advertising, and niching into eating disorders for much of her practice. She and her partner are still the only physicians doing that work in a city of six and a half million. Based on her success, she now offers her Micropractice Mastermind in which she helps physicians develop and nurture their own fulfilling and lucrative practice.
