Most pain physicians focus on running their practice day-to-day but never build a plan for what happens next.
Whether you’re years away from selling or starting to think about retirement, increasing your practice’s value now creates better options for the future.
Exit planning isn’t just about leaving—it’s about growing your practice with purpose so you can step away on your terms.
The most successful practice transitions happen when physicians start planning early—well before a sale or retirement is on the table.
Identify ways to increase profitability, streamline operations, and make your practice more attractive to potential buyers or partners.
Clean up legal, tax, and partnership structures now to avoid complications during a sale or ownership transition later.
Decide whether you want to sell, transition to a partner, or step back gradually—then build a timeline that matches your goals.

Without a structured plan, most physicians either delay their exit or are forced to accept unfavorable terms when the time comes.
This often leads to unnecessary tax exposure, lower sale prices, and years of lost opportunity.

The majority of unsold practices fail due to poor financial documentation, weak business structure, or unrealistic pricing.
Without expert guidance, physicians risk investing decades into a business that no one is prepared to buy — or pay what it’s worth.
Strengthen your operations, clean up financials, and increase your practice’s value to attract the right buyer or successor.
Whether it’s a full sale, a gradual transition, or more time for life outside of medicine, your exit plan should reflect your personal goals.
Know your options, understand the process, and create a step-by-step plan that lets you exit without second-guessing.
