How We Help Your Practice

Why Most Physicians are Sitting on an Untapped Gold Mine

Your practice may be busier than ever, but that doesn't always translate into maximum profit. As practices grow, small problems become expensive ones that eat away at the owner's profit.

These are the six areas where physician-owned practices often lose out on profit.

01

Operational Waste

Workflows that once worked now waste time, slow your team, and limit growth. We simplify operations so your practice runs more efficiently.

02

Outstanding Receivables

Every missed collection, denied claim, and outdated contract costs money. We help you capture more of the revenue you've already earned.

03

Limited Financial Visibility

Your account reviews your finances monthly, quarterly, and annually but you lose money in the day-to-day. We specialize in the areas that your account does not touch.

04

Insufficient Tax Strategy

Having an a team work hand-in-hand with your accountant could help you save on taxes for the last 2-3 years.

05

Unmonitored Spend

We only get paid by increasing your bottom line so we ensure that your recurring expenses are cost-efficient and beneficial for you as the owner.

06

Payroll and Employee Structure

We analyze your payroll and hiring process and recommend policies and procedures that promote practice growth.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Meet Dr. Patterson

Dr. Patterson owned a single-location dermatology practice. Like many successful physicians, the practice was producing revenue, but significant opportunities were being missed.

While working with a fractional COO over the course of 7 years, his personal net worth grew from $1.2 million to $22.8 million.

The growth was not the result of one dramatic change. It came from repeatedly finding financial leaks, improving collections, controlling expenses, and identifying opportunities already sitting inside the practice.

$1.2M → $22.8M

Personal Net Worth

Growth during the period Dr. Patterson worked with a fractional COO.

+32%

Collections

A collections overhaul increased collections 32% compared with the previous year.

$88,000

Avoided Equipment Cost

A proposed $125,000 laser purchase was replaced with comparable used equipment purchased for $37,000.

Additional Locations Added

Expanded from one location to four practice locations over the engagement period.

Dr. Patterson's experience is provided as an example of the impact that our fractional operational leadership can have on a physician-owned practice. Individual results will vary.

Wondering How Much Profit Your Practice Is Losing?

Every engagement begins with a complimentary financial scrub that identifies hidden operational waste, revenue leakage, and financial opportunities inside your practice. If we can't identify enough opportunity to justify working together, we'll tell you.

What a Fractional COO Actually Does

Not consultants. Not full-time hires.

Most physician owners have hired consultants and received a series of decks, recommendations, and a handshake at the end. However, fewer have ever had a true operating partner sitting beside them. Here's where MTMG is different.

See Whether a Fractional COO Is Right for Your Practice

Not every practice needs a Fractional COO. A strategy session helps determine whether your biggest opportunities can be solved through operational improvements, stronger financial oversight, and hands-on implementation.

Confidential. No cost. No obligation.

Our Approach

A measured approach. Sequenced so the team can absorb it.

No reorganizations. No 90-day transformations. Instead, you receive an embedded operating partner working hand-in-hand with your team.

Step 01

Assess

We spend time inside your practice. We work with you and the team. We review financials, workflows, and systems to understand how the business actually operates.

Step 02

Align

We translate findings into a segmented implementation plan that priorities fixing the largest issues first.

Step 03

Implement

We roll up our sleeves and execute the plan with your team. We tighten processes, install reporting, hold the standard. Real change inside the practice, not slide decks.

Step 04

Improve

We then measure the results against the plan and then refine if necessary. The practice gets steadier and more profitable quarter over quarter.

Why Physicians Work With MTMG

We Only Get Paid if Your Bottom Line Increases

Most consulting firms charge for recommendations. We charge for measurable financial improvement. Before an engagement begins, we identify operational inefficiencies, revenue leakage, billing gaps, workflow breakdowns, and financial opportunities that are already costing your practice money. If we can't confidently identify enough opportunity to cover our investment, we won't recommend moving forward. That keeps our incentives aligned with yours from day one.

Let's Find What's Holding Your Practice Back

If we can't identify enough financial opportunity to make it worth it, we'll tell you. If we can, we'll show you exactly where we'd start and what results you can reasonably expect.
