Why Young Doctors Should BUY a Medical Practice, Not Start One - Dr. Ardeshir Khademi Explains

Why are so many physicians burned out, and what actually prevents it?

In this episode of Healthcare Business Growth Conversations, I speak with Dr. Ardeshir Khademi, a neurologist with 35+ years in medicine and over two decades running a private outpatient practice in Florida.

We break down why physician burnout is often driven by lack of autonomy, not workload, and why outpatient neurology is heading toward a major shortage. Dr. Khademi explains why young doctors should consider buying an existing medical practice instead of starting one from scratch, especially as retiring baby-boomer physicians exit and private equity accelerates consolidation.

This episode is relevant for:
✅ Residents and fellows exploring private practice
✅ Physicians deciding between employment and ownership
✅ Doctors concerned about burnout and long-term career sustainability

Topics include private practice ownership, practice acquisition, outpatient neurology trends, physician burnout, healthcare leadership, and the real impact of AI in medical practice.
