Hello All,
I'm lookng for pros & cons of moving from a single practitioner/owner to hiring another practitioner.
 
We are a modern version of the mom & pop shop with focus on excellent prosthetic care, fast turn-around & consistent follow up care.  I have been approached by a very good prosthetist w/excellent technical skills & a growing caring reputation...he would prefer to leave the large company w/corporate mentality for the small independent facility.
 
I'd love to hear from those who opted not to bring on the added expense, liability, billing headaches, etc...AND those who made the leap from independent practitioner to owner with professional employee(s).   Please included the good, the bad & the ugly so that I can make an informed decision.
Thank You ALL &  Thanks to Paul for the listserv.
Happy Hollidays!
Rick
