Hiring isn’t about filling a position. It’s about protecting your future.
And most clinic owners are underpaying their way into mediocrity.
In this new episode, Dr. Allen Miner and Dr. Mark Mouw break down what actually separates A-player associate hires from the revolving-door hires that quietly drain your clinic.
They’ve launched 9+ clinics in under 18 months.
They’ve had 4 failures.
They’ve paid the tuition of doing it wrong.
Now they’re sharing what actually works.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you’re offering $80–90K and “great bonuses,”
you’re not attracting A players.
You’re attracting whoever’s available.
A-players don’t scroll job boards.
They’re already producing.
They already know their value.
And they expect to be paid like it.
Here’s what we unpack in this episode:
✅ Why you must pay 6-figures to access top-tier doctors
✅ The hidden cost of hiring “cheap” associates
✅ Why experience beats “potential” in scaling clinics
✅ The leadership lens you must screen for in interviews
✅ How job-hoppers quietly destroy growth
✅ Why failed practice owners can become your best hires
✅ The difference between employees who wait to be told… and leaders who take ownership
If you want time freedom…
If you want to open multiple locations…
If you want to step out of adjusting every day…
You need someone who can run the clinic like it’s theirs.
And that costs money.
But here’s the math most owners miss:
That extra $20,000 in salary?
It’s about $1,300 per month.
An A-player will be 10x that in production, retention, and leadership.
Cheap hires cost you:
• Patient experience
• Reputation
• Growth
• Time
• Sanity
The real bottleneck in scaling isn’t marketing.
It’s leadership.
And leadership isn’t found on Indeed.
