One of the first questions physicians ask when joining a clinic is:
“What’s the overhead?”
On the surface, lower always seems better.
But in practice, overhead is one of the most misunderstood parts of choosing the right clinic.
We’re seeing:
* most competitive clinics now in the 20% to 25% range
* stronger, established clinics closer to 25% to 30%
* anything below 20% often comes with trade-offs
The real question isn’t just the percentage. It’s:
* what support you’re getting
* how efficient the clinic is
* how many patients you can actually see
* and how much you’re taking home at the end of the day
We’ve seen physicians earn more in a well-run 25% clinic than in a poorly structured 15% one.
