NO OFFICE?

Correct, and it’s really that simple.

Unfortunately I didn’t hear of this model of practice while I was in chiropractic school. Post-graduation, like many I immediately took an associate position at a practice with hopes of rapid expansion and growth in the high volume model boasted about in college, coaching seminars, and many chiropractic get-togethers.

This growth came for me over time, but it looks very different than I had imagined when I was freshly graduated. The high volume practice model allowed for five minute appointments and had a strong emphasis on quantity of patient visits rather than quality appointments unrestricted by time.

During my first year of practice as an employee, I was hyper-focused on learning more about what I knew to be the norm in practice. I was unable to see the big picture of how my chiropractic practice could fit into my life. I have watched and experienced the burnout of other doctors, and this was not a suitable way to live for me.

In order to fully enjoy my work, my big career picture needed to include the following:

–Confidently enjoying my life while living a lifestyle that supported my long term health and relationship goals.
–Financial success without cutting appointment times down to 5 minutes and seeing “how many” I can book in a day.
–An opportunity to do something unique and unknown with my career.

My house call chiropractic practice has been undeniably responsible for the results of the aforementioned big picture.

Why House Calls?
With your office setup in a few quick steps, you can be in-and-out of an appointment efficiently, in minutes. The overhead for your business decreases dramatically, which provides you the opportunity to focus on what services are most important to your clients and provide for them in one of the most convenient manners, right in their own space.

In the meantime, you should know that I had help getting started and pushing along week-by-week. I teamed up with Dr. Jen Faber of the House Call Practice program and purchased her full program, including a year of monthly coaching calls during my first year of practice. This program and relationship with Dr. Jen is priceless, as she has throughly outlined how to do all of this in 12 weeks, or for those of us who jump into the unknown without hesitating, 4 weeks.

Working together, Dr. Jen and I have teamed up through the DCTree to create stunning website marketing platforms that can configure with her official program recommendations.
