How to Start Treating Private Patients
Without the Fear of Making a Mistake

Treating patients is easy- you know that.
You have graduated from graduate school and have been working successfully in your chosen field. Now you’re ready to take it a step further, but it’s the fear of making a mistake that is slowing you down.
That’s why I’m going to take you step-by-step, lead you by the hand and walk you through every process you need to do to set up and run your private patient business.
When you’ve followed what I’ve laid out for you here, you’ll be on your way to helping more people… making more money… and having more time and energy for yourself and your family.
Think of every risk you’ve ever taken in your life:
- learning how to drive
- going off to college
- taking your current job
With every risk, you educated yourself on the pro’s and con’s and made the most informed decision you could. In this case, I want you to weigh the pro’s and con’s again- but what I want you to closely examine is your con’s list. What is on there? Are they realistic fears or can they be conquered by education, planning in advance and being organized about your practice?
If I have the resources to teach you step-by-step about those fear areas:
- taxes
- liability insurance
- documentation
- billing
- getting referrals
**You need to ask yourself, what is stopping you?**
Remember, you already have the clinical skills, all you need is the information and confidence and that is what The Independent Clinician provides you with.
Here’s what you need to do…You need to build your knowledge-base and confidence.
The best way to tackle any new situation is to learn as much as you can, then try it and learn how to do it better next time. I recommend that you use the available resources to learn more about treating private patients and then take on one or two private clients WHILE staying at your current job.
Decide for yourself how many patients you might want to see. It may just be a few per week or during the summer. Once you build your confidence and caseload, you will be better equipped to take on additional clients.
Read The Book

When I was first interested in treating privately I had Rick and Kathryn to bounce ideas off of. I also wanted to have a step-by-step guidebook that would teach me anything that they might have left out.
To my surprise, no book on how to treat private patients existed, so I wrote one.
The Independent Clinician Guide to Private Patients is both a step-by-step guidebook for getting started and growing your private patient business AND a history of where I started and what my personal experiences has been.

I was lucky to have Kathryn and Rick mentor me. I realize that not everyone has someone to bounce ideas off of and help them begin or expand their private patient business.
