How do you treat 2 patients an hour? As a business coach to new practitioners, I get this question SO often! So… I called in my friend Megan who purchased a very busy clinic as a relatively new practitioner and basically started her career treating multiple patients an hour.

We all definitely have our comfort zone as practitioners, but I think it’s important for you to consider getting to two rooms as quickly as possible. It’s more time and financially efficient and oh-so-fun! As new practitioners we often spend way too much time and do way too much per visit in one hour. Running 2 rooms an hour forces you to be efficient with your time and trust your needles to do the work. I promise it works! Listen in as Megan and I share our processes.

MEGAN LINDSEY, DACM, OWNER OF SILVER SAGE ACUPUNCTURE

Megan completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University Northridge before switching gears and coninuing her education at Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a Taoist school with a 38-generation lineage, located in Los Angeles, Ca. She is a Nationally Ceritfied Diploamate of Oriental Medicine and a California Board licensed acupuncturist. After graduating in 2014 she struggled with opening her own clinic and finding her way. After some stops and starts in 2017, she landed on purchasing an acupuncture clinic from a practitioner who was retiring, She has unique insight into the pros, cons and profitability of this route of practice. More recently, she graduated from Pacific College of Health and Science as a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine (DACM).
