Buying a clinic should fast-track your freedom and growth—not trap you in years of stress, debt, or regret. Yet many Practice Owners unknowingly sign up for deals that derail their vision of a thriving, high-performing clinic.

In this episode, Dr. Sachin Patel and Dr. Todd Cameron expose the behind-the-scenes tactics that make clinics look more profitable than they actually are—and the red flags every GP owner must know before signing on the dotted line.

Whether you're thinking about buying your first clinic or preparing to sell, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to make smart, strategic moves that support your long-term goals.
