Clinicians & surgeons trained

Practice revenue influenced

Physicians, dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists, med-spa owners. Different letters after the name; identical problem underneath. You were trained to treat patients. Nobody trained you to own the asset.

“I’ve already proven I’m good at this.”

“I shouldn’t still be working this hard for this take-home.”

“I want the revenue to finally match the quality of the work.”

If those read like your 2 a.m. thoughts, the gap isn’t your ability. It’s the business wrapped around it.

AI in the practice

AI isn’t coming for your job. It’s coming for the work you never trained for.

The phone nobody answered. The verification that took forty minutes. The note you finished at eleven at night. That is where this pays for itself, and I build it inside my own companies before I ever recommend it.

Operations

The phone answered on the first ring at any hour, scheduling that fills its own gaps, and a front desk that stops drowning.

Financials

Claims, denials, collections and margin watched continuously instead of discovered at month-end.

Admin

Intake, eligibility, prior auth and the note that used to keep you until eleven. Work no patient ever sees.

Medical marketing

Recall and reactivation running on their own, and content produced at a cadence one human cannot hold.

Local AI & data privacy

Models that run inside your own walls. PHI that never leaves the building. That is the part most vendors skip.

Free weekly newsletter

One memo, every Sunday. The lessons I learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.

The Private Practice Dispatch is my free Sunday newsletter for private practice owners. One thing I changed in my companies that week: what it cost, and what it returned. No specialty required, just a P&L you’re responsible for.

Who I am

I came here with two suitcases and no English.

Everything I know about building a practice I learned the expensive way: one payroll, one bad hire, one renegotiated lease at a time. Then I did it again. And again. Seven companies later, the pattern is boringly consistent.

Great clinicians stay broke because they optimize the wrong variable. I teach the other one: ownership. Systems, margin, leverage, and eventually the freedom to walk away from the schedule without the revenue walking with you.

The library

Four books. Two you can read this week.

I wrote the first two for the room I came from. The model underneath them, cash services, hybrid‑concierge, owner independence, is specialty‑agnostic, and the next two say so plainly.

Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

Answered plainly, in one paragraph, without a discovery call in the way.

Who is Dr. TJ Ahn?

A board-certified surgeon and healthcare entrepreneur who has spent 25 years operating private practices and founded seven companies. I teach owners how to build a practice that produces profit without requiring me, or you, to be standing in it.

Which kinds of practice owners do you work with?

Physicians, dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists, optometrists, veterinarians, med-spa owners. The operating problems of a private practice are almost entirely specialty-independent: pricing, systems, margin, staffing, and owner dependency. The clinical part is yours; the business part is the same everywhere.

Do you help practices implement AI?

Yes. Voice agents for the phones, AI workshops for your team, and agent-and-automation buildouts that make a practice AI-ready. What you actually need depends on where the practice is bleeding, so it starts with a consultation rather than a package. I hold an MIT Sloan certificate in AI in Business and run all of this inside my own companies first.

What is the Private Practice Syndicate?

A twelve-month mastermind for established owners. Real financials on the table, no cheerleading. We work through practice growth, burnout prevention, cash-pay services, hybrid-concierge models, medical marketing, closing skills, and where AI actually earns its keep in a practice.

What is MIS Intensive?

Hands-on minimally invasive foot and ankle surgical training: cadaver labs and live cases, with MIFAS Elite as the longitudinal fellowship track for surgeons who want mastery rather than exposure. This one is specialty-specific by design.

What is Cadara® Foot?

A radiopaque, skin-wrapped surgical training model: silicone skin, deformable bones, works under fluoroscopy. Cadaver labs give you exposure; Cadara gives you unlimited reps in your own time.

How do I start?

Pick the door that matches your problem. The Syndicate if the business is the bottleneck, MIS Intensive if the technique is, a live event if you want to see the room first. If you are not ready to commit to anything, The Private Practice Dispatch is free and costs you one memo a week.

Your practice is an asset.
Start treating it like one.
