The service fills a growing gap as advanced practice providers start independent practices and need physician collaborators.

ANECDOTE

Client Requests Sparked The Business

Lev described nurses and NPs repeatedly asking him where to find collaborating physicians for telehealth and home visits.
That recurring demand sparked the idea to build a matchmaking service for collaborators.

ADVICE

Grow Both Sides In Parallel

Recruit both physicians and providers in parallel to avoid one side being rate-limiting for growth.
Vet physicians by phone, check credentials, and introduce them to providers before starting collaborations.

In this classic episode from 2022, Drs. Lev Grinman and Daniel Cousin share how they built Doctors for Providers, a nationwide network that connects physicians with nurse practitioners and PAs seeking collaborative partnerships. What began as a simple response to constant requests from advanced practice providers has become a streamlined system that helps both sides work more efficiently and safely.
