How To Become The CEO of Your Practice

I am a firm believer in beginning with the end in mind. That takes having an idea of how you see your practice and career’s path down the road. 

Whether you want to die on the chiropractic table or exit patient care and run the business, you should set your practice up to allow you to stay fascinated and motivated. 

In this episode, I interview Dr. Ray Tuck who is the CEO of his chiropractic business that has multiple locations, many team members, and consistent growth. 

I have personally expressed my exit from patient care in the summer of 2022 to allow me to focus on what is fascinating and motiving me, which is taking a leadership role in my practice and helping chiropractors grow their practice with MCM and CSA. 

Dr. Ray Tuck made that same transition years ago and hasn’t looked back. He is clear on what drives him and that is still optimal patient care, but instead of him delivering that, his team of exceptional chiropractors and support team members does it. 

I appreciate the fact that most DCs are “the product” and can’t envision the practice operating without them providing care. I understand that fully. But imagine if a DC who is the product built a great business around that DC product and could hyperfocus on being the best product they can be? 

A DC with a well-trained team, great patient experience, and all the other aspects firing on all cylinders could then be fully present with patients during patient care.

It may take some time to get to that point and there will always be hiccups but overall, you would have much more time spent in that ideal present state. 

So, whether you want to be a non-treating CEO or a treating CEO, this episode with Dr. Tuck will help you get there.
