Description

Doctors used to dream not just of earning well, but of controlling how they practiced and how they cared for patients.

Doctors Cristin Slater, Kevin Maas, and Kyle Tobler—partners at the independently owned Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine—explain why that dream feels so far away for many.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why Dr. Maas says he’d never go back to a private equity-owned network

  • Hidden legal clauses & earn-outs that can trap REIs

  • The tug-of-war between business interests and clinical decisions

  • How independent practices can innovate (including the tech they love)

  • The advice they’d give to any fellow or young REI thinking about their future, and how they can still live the dream
