About this episode

Dr. Patricia Poma discusses building a specialty-driven practice to achieve over $1,000 in revenue per patient.

More revenue per patient. It's one of the most talked-about goals in private practice right now. But in this episode of Power Hour, Dr. Patricia Poma makes something very clear: You do not get there by chasing every new machine, trend, or specialty that shows up on the market. You get there by building intentionally. That is exactly why the shift toward a specialty-driven practice is starting to get serious attention. Dr. Patricia Poma has built a model that achieves over $1,000 in revenue per patient. By building one specialty at a time until it becomes a "beautiful beast," she has created a practice that is sustainable on its own. Not a boardroom theory. Not just a retail idea. A solution built over two decades in a real private practice. In this week's Power Hour, Dr. Patricia Poma-Nowinski, Owner of Birmingham Vision Care and KOL for Johnson & Johnson Health and Wellness Solutions Inc., breaks down how she built a high-profitability model focused on non-doctor-driven revenue and medical-heavy specialties.
