Alejandro Fernandez on thirty years of healthcare operations, from a front desk in Miami to CEO, and why he would add empathy before he would add any technology.
View episode
Jared Aron on why a ten-year patient relationship really comes down to one number: 3,650 days, and almost none of them happen with the patient in the room.
View episode
Richard Leaver has treated patients inside the NHS, high-security prisons, and hospitals before spending a decade in US private-equity-backed physical therapy. He explains the exact order compliance, quality, and financials have to come in, and why the biggest constraint on AI adoption in healthcare is people, not the technology.
View episode
A physical therapist who turned a $400-a-month room in a repurposed Baltimore church into nineteen clinics, and counting, on why he hires for coachability over credentials, why responsibility and accountability aren't the same word, and why one-on-one care is the one thing he refuses to automate.
View episode
A healthcare-marketing founder on why patients no longer search for clinics but for names, why the consultant has become the product, and the unglamorous basics that actually win patients in the AI era.
View episode
Jared's unfiltered take on the software trap in healthcare: why the all-in-one promise is a myth, why buy-and-smash is dead, and why the clinics that win focus on care and reliable patient coverage instead of building their own tools.
View episode
A healthcare private equity investor on why quality and returns are not a trade-off, and what he looks for before backing a provider to scale.
View episode

View episode
A former British Army officer on building a £24m dental group by making dentists owners, not employees, with real autonomy and skin in the game.
View episode
Sean interviews Jared on why the real constraint in healthcare is operations, logistics and business, not clinical care.
View episode
Before trusting any AI vendor with patient data, ask where it lives, who can compel it, and exactly what leaves your system.
View episode
Efficiency is not cost-cutting. It is what frees a clinician to focus on care while the clinic scales around them.
View episode
A patient advocate on facing a terminal diagnosis with research and self-advocacy, and why patients rarely tell clinicians what they are really doing.
View episode
The clinics that win will automate the admin and protect the human moments, from the welcome at the front desk to the room itself.
View episode
Clinic founders who have sold and the buyers who acquire clinics share what actually drives sale price — recorded live at The King's Fund, London.
View episode
Growth is rarely the smooth climb it looks like from the outside. Sometimes a clinic has to nearly break before it learns how to scale.
View episode
If you cannot stay in business, you cannot do your best for patients: two oculoplastic surgeons on why running the practice well is part of the care.
View episode
Modernising a traditional business is not about bolting AI onto it. It starts with the day in the life of the person doing the work.
View episode
Know your numbers. The clinics that sell well are the ones whose owners understand their finances, their lease, and where revenue really comes from.
View episode
A clinic-group M&A director on what buyers really value, why owner-dependence and messy data cost you, and the prepare-early lesson dental learned that MSK hasn't yet.
View episode
Patient leakage across the journey, not ad spend, is where clinics quietly lose revenue, and most of it is recoverable without new marketing.
View episode
A consultant neurologist on why delivering the medicine is the easy part, and why booking, communication, and follow-up decide how patients experience care.
View episode
Patient retention is a staffing problem: when the person running your recalls leaves, follow-up stops and patients quietly slip away.
View episode
Jared, a former teacher turned clinic operator, on why patient care must be proactive and why real gains come from wholesale change, not bolt-on tools.
View episode
Dr. Shaima Villait on rising patient expectations, the steep learning curve of clinic ownership, and why private practices cannot afford to stand still.
View episode
Joëlle Rotsaert on building an injectables brand around approachable luxury — and why the clinic experience, the booking team and the operating system all have to grow together.
View episode
Marketing agency founder Michael Schumacher on why clinics operate blind to their own numbers, and why lead volume matters far less than follow-up and experience.
View episode
Dentist Arnold Gangaidzo on building his practice from the ground up: the brutal build, cash-flow reality, and why growing too fast creates white space.
View episode
Why hands-on care resists automation, how clinics hit an invisible ceiling, and why cost per consultation is the number to watch.
View episode
The real limit on patient follow-up is not care but capacity, and closing that gap means partnering rather than trying to do it all yourself.
View episode
Most clinics lose around half their patients somewhere along the journey, and fixing that leak is an operations problem, not a clinical one.
View episode
The patients quietly slipping away are your biggest hidden cost, and retention rate is the wrong number to catch them.
View episode
What makes a clinic worth acquiring, and why the smartest operators fix retention and protect empathy long before they think about selling.
View episode
Pouring new patients into a leaky clinic never fixes the economics; the real growth is already sitting inside your existing patient body.
View episode
Clinics chase new leads while quietly losing the patients they already have, and clearing that follow-up debt is where real growth begins.
View episode
Reconnecting with lapsed patients through soft, asynchronous follow-up drives more durable growth than chasing new leads or spending more on ads.
View episode
Most clinics aren't struggling because they picked the wrong software — they're struggling because nobody has the time, continuity or training to actually use it properly.
View episode
Most of a patient's journey happens outside the clinic, and the relationship you build between visits is where value is won or lost.
View episode
Almost all of the patient relationship happens outside your clinic, and holding it there is a team-and-technology problem, not something one new hire can fix.
View episode
Most clinics believe they already do patient recall; almost none do it well, because recall is a business function, not a few emails and phone calls.
View episode
Thandi runs Jared Aron through a glossary of named failure patterns in clinic revenue, from the Leaky Bucket to the Legacy List Graveyard, each one a specific, fixable way clinics lose patients and money.
View episode
Jared Aron argues clinics have the ratio backwards: 99% of front-of-house time goes to low-value work and 1% to the patient interactions that actually matter, and reframes the job as a maître d', not a call center.
View episode
Jared Aron compares how fast the US and UK actually adopt healthcare innovation, and makes the case that a real human phone call still beats an AI voice agent at the moment that matters most.
View episode
Most clinics never separate the two most different jobs in the building: reception and revenue. Jared Aron explains why a dedicated sales desk, not the front desk, is what actually determines whether a clinic grows.
View episode
A new generation of commercially minded clinic owners is treating experience like hospitality, and the fastest lever they can pull this quarter is patient recall.
View episode
Clinical care is only half the job; the experience and admin around it decide whether patients stay, drawn from Jared's own clinic lessons.

Jared Aron is co-founder and CEO of Coherent Healthcare. He spends his weeks with the owners and operators of private clinics, from single sites to large multi-site groups.
On The Business of a Clinic he sits down with those operators to work through the systems behind clinics that grow without simply spending more on marketing or adding headcount.
Coherent gives private clinics one patient relationship engine, recovering revenue lost at enquiry, recall and billing.
