A board-certified surgeon and healthcare entrepreneur who has spent 25 years operating private practices and founded six 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. ## Pages - [Home](https://drtjahn.com/): the hub: five doors, proof, answers, newsletter - [About](https://drtjahn.com/about): biography, seven ventures, credentials - [Programs](https://drtjahn.com/programs): all five programs with who each is for - [Testimonials](https://drtjahn.com/testimonials): written and video testimonials - [Events](https://drtjahn.com/events): live Practice Growth and MIS event calendars - [The Dispatch](https://drtjahn.com/dispatch): the Sunday newsletter and its archive - [Contact](https://drtjahn.com/contact): booking and speaking/media ## Key facts - Booking (Profit Accelerator Session, complimentary, 45 minutes, 1-on-1 over Zoom): https://drtjahn.com/schedule-pas - Contact: support@drtjahn.com - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@drtjahn - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtjahn - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drtjahn/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.ahn.dpm/ - Credentials: board-certified foot & ankle surgeon; MIT Sloan certificate, AI in Business; founder or co-founder of six companies; author of two books
