About Symbiosis

OUR STORY

Symbiosis is the brain-child of a husband and wife team, Arun and Subha. Subha, a physical therapist with a passion to provide the best quality of care, dreamed of opening her own practice; but like many healthcare clinicians she faced a daunting challenge. Over 60% of healthcare practices in the US fail within the first 3 years because rampant start-up and overhead costs, like office rent, or time suck by administrative tasks, such as healthcare insurance reimbursement billing. Subha knew that there had to be a better and smarter way to start her own private practice.

What started off as a dinner table discussion with Arun, an entrepreneur, soon became a series of late night brainstorming sessions. Subha and Arun came to three fundamental conclusions:

Subha wanted to provide the highest quality care; this meant that most of the workday had to go into seeing patients.

Finding the right specialists, like medical billers and digital marketers, would be a job unto itself and eat into the time Subha could spend with her patients.

That commercial landlords in the most desirable locations did not want to lease out small spaces, and that existing co-working options did not meet the needs of healthcare and medical practices.

WE PROVIDE THE BEST SOLUTIONS TO GROW YOUR PRACTICE

In 2017, Arun launched Symbiosis and Subha opened Capitol PT using Symbiosis’ platform. The marriage was a success, Subha was able to maximize her work day seeing patients by having access to the right medical billers and digital marketers at the same time open Capitol PT in a perfect location while saving a fortune on start-up and overhead costs. Symbiosis has helped Subha achieve amazing growth, trebling her patient volume, and opening a second location in Maryland.

Symbiosis has helped over 40 private practices to achieve growth and success since it opened in 2017.

Symbiosis continues to grow our community of entrepreneurial healthcare providers, empowering our community members to seize and achieve their dreams of a successful private practice.

Our goal is to become The Practice In A Box, whereby any healthcare clinician with the dream of opening their own private practice, can join Symbiosis and achieve their dreams.
