After completing her residency and fellowship, she moved directly into hospital administration, eventually overseeing nearly 200 hospital laboratories across a major healthcare system. She explains how managing quality metrics, regulatory readiness, and clinical stewardship during COVID positioned her for executive growth. Yet after several years, she sought the creativity and challenge of solving new problems, which led her to co-found NatRevMD with her husband. She outlines the billing challenges that strain private practices, eligibility checks, denial management, and financial metrics, and emphasizes that while the early years of a business are demanding, effective delegation and the right hires make growth sustainable. She also draws from the NatRevMD podcast and her book, "Thrive," to offer practical advice for physicians evaluating billing services, including the key accounts receivable metric that signals when a change is needed.

This classic 2019 interview reveals how Dr. Salyer built a cash-based micropractice after giving her employer eight months' notice and fighting through non-compete challenges.

Beyond her clinical transformation, Dr. Salyer discovered an unexpected calling as a creativity advocate for physicians.

After experiencing multiple ownership transitions from independent practice to hospital employment to corporate acquisition, he and his partner decided to leave stable salaries and start their own DPC practice. Dr. Townsend describes the dramatic difference between seeing 25 patients daily in his previous role versus 8-10 patients now, with panel sizes dropping from 2,500 to 500 patients each. He covers practical startup details, including working with Atlas MD for business guidance, navigating non-compete clauses, purchasing their own building, and reaching full capacity in just five months despite typically requiring 2-3 years for new DPC practices.

Drawing from real case studies and firsthand accounts, I explain how seemingly routine situations can escalate into devastating professional disasters that force physicians out of practice entirely. I cover critical topics including the National Practitioner Data Bank, sham peer review processes, restrictive employment contracts, and FPPE/OPPE evaluations. I share stories of physicians who lost hospital privileges overnight, were blocked from practicing due to non-compete clauses, and faced career-ending allegations with inadequate due process protection. I emphasize the importance of understanding medical staff bylaws, hiring experienced healthcare attorneys for contract review, and taking any workplace allegations seriously from day one. I provide practical advice on protecting yourself during peer review processes and recognizing when standard procedures are being weaponized against you.
