FOR ESTABLISHED PODIATRY PRACTICES
A more profitable practice starts with the right next step.
Work toward better profitability without simply adding more patients or longer hours.
First, find what is holding your practice back.
The free Practice Scorecard is your starting point—not another course to work through.
More patients—or more value from the care you already provide?
A busy schedule and a profitable practice are not the same thing. Start by looking at where the gap may be.
Patient volume
Are there gaps in your schedule or too few of the right patients? Look at demand, access, and how consistently patients return for recommended care.
Value per visit
Is your schedule full, but the practice still feels stretched? Look at treatment acceptance, appropriate services, and the systems supporting complete care.
FROM COACHING TO IMPLEMENTATION
One recommendation. A practical change.
Dr. Kristina Janson reports implementing a coaching recommendation: offering patients a coupon for a discounted second pair of orthotics.
“Within two weeks, we sold 20 or 30 extra pairs of orthotics which paid about a third of my yearly rent.”
Kristina Janson, DPM — Manhattan, NY
Excerpt from her published testimonial. Individual, self-reported experience; results vary.
One starting point. A clearer path forward.
- Start with the free Scorecard. Take a first look at your practice and where the biggest constraint may be.
- Identify the priority. Is the gap patient volume, value per visit, or the systems behind them? Use that insight to focus your next step.
- Get a tailored plan when you need one. The Practice Audit is the next step for individualized diagnosis and recommendations—not a separate starting point.
- Put the plan to work. Coaching and focused implementation help come after the priority is clear. Choose support that fits the problem.
I still run a podiatry practice.
I teach what I actually do.
I’m Dr. Don Pelto. I see patients every week at Central Massachusetts Podiatry, where I have been in private practice since 2009. I have been mentoring podiatrists since 2015.
I built Podiatry Practice Mastery to share the frameworks, patient-facing materials, and systems I use in a working practice—and help other podiatrists implement what fits theirs.
Practical ideas. Put to work.
“Don lives what he is teaching in his own practice. Any new idea he tests in his own practice first and then gives his honest feedback on whether it works.”
Tom Biernacki, DPM
“I have increased my use of a scribe in the office — it has definitely improved my time at home and made me happier.”
