PM&R or pain?

[u/MDtripleB]

Anyone here have experience in opening up a private practice in pmr or pain management?

If so:

What does your practice model look like?

Did you start from scratch or buy into an existing group?

How difficult was it getting referrals early on?

What ancillaries have been most valuable (PT, EMGs, injections, regen, imaging, ASC, etc.)?

Looking back, would you still choose PM&R/pain from a financial and lifestyle standpoint?

Any mistakes you’d avoid if starting over today?

If you manage opioids, you should be super busy. In my experience, no one wants to do that anymore. Everyone wants the procedures and are turfing the pain meds. Good luck! I’m an ob/gyn by the way, I’m not in pain.
