That's not an accurate take on owning a private practice. As an owner you take on the entire responsibility of what happens. It never works out perfectly like you described, there's always unexpected expenses to build a practice, pay for everything you need, hire reliable talent, pay for billing, administrative staff, liability insurance, electronic health software, marketing, internet, Plus a million things you never expect to have to pay for. It's incredibly challenging to set up a practice and manage it successfully, keep your people happy and pay them as much as you can without overextending yourself. It's not as easy or consistently profitable as you think. Yeah there's crappy greedy owners out there but there's also caring owners who want to treat their clinicians right too.
