In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Brittney Anderson, a board-certified family physician and founder of a thriving private practice in Alabama. Dr. Anderson shares the deeply personal and incredibly practical journey that led her from burnout in academic medicine to building a mission-driven, insurance-based solo practice that now has a waitlist of patients.

Dr. Anderson didn’t just hang a shingle. She reverse engineered her success with strategy, intention, and heart. She shares the five key moves that helped her build a successful practice from the ground up, and offers encouragement for other physicians who dream of practicing medicine on their own terms.

Join us as we discuss:

• What made Brittney leave academic medicine and take the leap into solo practice
  


• The productive solo trip to Hawaii that changed everything
  


• Her five keys to a successful launch (including a genius marketing tip involving her dog)
  


• How she got over 700 shares on her first clinic announcement without spending a dime
  


• The power of building community with other physicians and local businesses
  


• Why done is better than perfect (especially when it comes to websites)
  
  

If you're wondering whether starting a private practice is possible—or profitable—this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Anderson's story proves that with a plan, a little faith, and a lot of intention, physicians can reclaim autonomy and joy in their careers.
