PRIVATE PRACTICE ADVISORY
Independent practices deserve better than a choice between burning out and selling out.
AxisMD partners with independent physician practices to build the operational, strategic, and financial strength to stay independent - on their own terms.
Confidential · No Obligation · Referred by Providers Nationwide
We’ve sat on the other side of the table.
For 30+ years, the AxisMD team led healthcare organizations — hospital systems, physician groups, private practices, and PE-backed enterprises. We ran the operations. We set the compensation structures. We were part of the teams designing the very agreements physicians were handed to sign.
Now we work exclusively for the physician.
That insider knowledge is not something you'll find at a law firm or a general consulting practice. We understand how health systems build their offers, where the flexibility actually exists, and what a physician can realistically win — because we've been on the side that sets those terms.
When you work with AxisMD, you're not getting advice from someone who read a book about healthcare negotiations. You're getting someone who ran the room.
The expertise private practices need. The independence they want to keep
HOW WE WORK WITH PRACTICES
01
Strategic & Operational Advisory
Running a private practice has become a full-time job on top of practicing medicine. We serve as an embedded strategic partner — advising on operations, staffing, compensation structures, vendor relationships, and the financial decisions that determine whether a practice thrives or sells. For practices that want to grow, streamline, or simply stop making decisions without a trusted advisor in the room.
02
Practice Operations Support
From payroll and billing infrastructure to HR management and staffing frameworks, we handle the operational layer that consumes physician time and energy. We've run these functions inside small and large practices at scale. We bring that capability to independent practices that deserve the same quality of operational support — without the overhead of a larger MSO or health system.
03
Transaction & Transition Advisory
Whether you're being approached by a PE group, evaluating a merger, or exploring a partnership restructure, we provide independent advisory on what a transaction actually means for you — financially, clinically, and operationally. We model the economics, review the terms, and help you understand all the options before you make a decision you can't reverse. We work with brokers and practice transition advisors to ensure every party has what they need.

ABOUT AXISMD
AxisMD was founded by healthcare executives with 30+ years of experience managing physician compensation, employment structures, and organizational strategy for some of the largest health systems in the country. We built the contracts. We set the budgets. We know exactly where the room is — and where there isn't any.
That experience now works exclusively for physicians. AxisMD operates on a simple principle borrowed from the world of professional sports: athletes have agents. Executives have advisors. Physicians deserve the same level of representation — from someone who understands the healthcare business as well as the people they're negotiating with.
Every engagement is confidential. We don't represent health systems, PE groups, or hospitals in any capacity. Our only client is you.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What physicians ask us most.
-
No. Many physicians engage AxisMD mid-career — to renegotiate an existing agreement, evaluate a partnership offer, or prepare for a transition. The best time to get clarity is before you need it. But we can work with where you are right now.
-
Healthcare attorneys review contracts for legal compliance. AxisMD reviews them for both business strategy and legal compliance (we have an in-house legal team). We benchmark your compensation against market data, identify what's actually negotiable in your situation, and build a negotiation approach based on how these organizations actually operate — from the inside.
-
Book the free consultation anyway. Physician career situations are rarely textbook — and we've seen most of them. The first call is about understanding your situation, not selling you a package.
-
No. Our sweet spot is independent practices with 3 or more providers — precisely because these practices are large enough to have real operational complexity, but typically don't have a dedicated strategic or administrative leadership layer. That's the gap we fill. We have worked with practices of 2 physicians and groups of 40. The common thread is independence and the desire to protect it.
-
Yes — and the earlier the better. Once a transaction process starts, it's very difficult to slow down or redirect. PE groups move quickly and their advisors are experienced at creating urgency. We can give you an independent read on the offer, help you understand the post-close employment terms, and — if you want — help you evaluate whether there are alternatives worth considering before you make a decision you can't reverse.
-
A confidential conversation with no agenda other than understanding your situation. We work regularly with brokers and practice transition advisors — they refer clients to us when those clients need independent advisory that sits outside the transaction. We'll give you a straightforward assessment, explain what we can do, and let you decide whether and how to move forward. There's no obligation and no cost to the initial conversation.
