As a medical practice consultant, I’ve been working with physicians, physician groups and medical businesses for over twenty years, helping them define and develop pathways to success. I’ve provided consulting services to established doctors and surgeons, physician led companies and groups, and residents and fellows. We’ve worked together on matters ranging from doctor practice startups, physician recruiting and retention, short and long term strategic planning, hospital negotiations, staffing and operations to practice valuations and evaluations, as well as healthcare practice mergers and acquisitions.
 
When I began my practice management consulting business, private practice was the dominant model for physicians. Although that has changed, I remain a believer in private practice and its viability as well as the importance of physicians as the primary drivers behind the success of corporate healthcare.  To define my business approach, it’s distinctly “physician-centric” and solutions oriented.​

This year I have also expanded my practice consulting work with residents, fellows, and nurse practitioners. As they transition from their academic programs to the physician recruitment environment I am working with them to make sure that they are empowered with the tools necessary ​to evaluate all aspects of their employment opportunities before they take the important first step to become active participants in today’s ever-changing healthcare environment.

“Ellis & Associates was influential in my practice transition. Tom provided data and connections to deepen my understanding of my own value and key leverage points in dealing with large organizations. His years of experience and network of contacts make him a premier liaison for the daunting process of finding the best practice. His service is personalized and exceptional.”

​Over the last few years I’ve also had the opportunity to work outside the box as some of my physicians have become involved with Functional Medicine, a new and fascinating direction in patient care. I am now offering my services to those looking to start up, implement and grow Functional Medicine practices.
