Before Corner Health
When I first decided to open my practice, I had no idea what I was getting into. I tried to start small, handling everything myself. I set up my website, EHR, and I spent hours setting up social media accounts. I was so excited at first, but it wasn’t long before that feeling turned into a sense of overwhelm and even defeat.
I would get a few patients in the door, but then spend hours trying to figure out how to get paid or worry about what consent forms I needed or if I was making any coding mistakes. I also just wasn’t seeing enough patients and was constantly behind on everything. I told myself I would try again later when I had more time, but deep down I didn’t know how I was going to make it work.
One night outside a Courtyard Marriott on a travel nursing appointment, I broke down in tears. I was not just tired, I felt like I was letting my vision slip away.
I realized that if I wanted my practice to succeed, I could not do it alone.
Discovering Corner Health
I was so determined to have my own practice that I kept at it. I researched for hours and stumbled on Corner Health.
When I started working with Corner Health, everything was different. I had an entire team reaching out to walk me through every step of relaunching my practice. For the first time, I felt supported.
Corner Health handled things that had always slowed me down before: credentialing, technical systems, patient marketing, and billing. Most importantly, within a month, I had new patients on my schedule again. My days were filling up, and I couldn’t believe it. Suddenly, I was building a real practice that could sustain me and grow into my full time job. It happened so much faster than I expected. Pretty soon, I couldn’t keep up with my patients!
Those first few months after joining Corner Health were a turning point. My practice started to grow steadily, and I finally had the confidence to step away from my other job and commit to my practice full time. It was the moment everything I had worked toward finally came together.
My favorite parts about Corner Health are:
Patient volume: My practice growth exploded with Corner Health! They know the right marketing channels, so it’s not a guessing game of putting time and money into something that ultimately won’t work
Billing efficiency: The billing process runs smoothly and payments are issued to my practice every two weeks, with full transparency throughout.
Operational clarity: With lab orders, billing, referrals, and prior authorization taken care of, I haven’t had to hire any staff to manage and grow my practice. It’s a huge time and savings cost.
Continuous support: A full team behind me setting up and coaching me in my practice while I transitioned to going full time.
Corner Health provided the infrastructure; I now have the freedom to build the kind of practice I envisioned from the start.
Where I Am Now
Before Corner Health, I used to worry that maybe my metro area was oversaturated, and that’s why I was doomed from the start. That’s not true though, there’s a real need. The patients I see now have been having a hard time finding a great provider. They always tell me, “I’ve been looking for you!”. Can you believe it? Me!?
I feel so grateful every day to get to help my patients the way they deserve. It’s truly gratifying to be able to create the kind of environment for my patients that I would want for myself. I mean, my patients hug me when they leave my office. That’s the kind of care I get to give.
It’s a “get to”, every day; I get to do what I love the way that I love to do it. Without Corner Health, I wonder if I’d still be in that hotel parking lot on another nursing assignment in another unknown city.
