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.
Â
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:Â
A cooperative relationship (as between two persons or groups)
Symbiosis
Practice in a Box, INC
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. Â
Â
Symbiosis has helped over 40 private practices to achieve growth and success since it opened in 2017.Â
Â
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.Â
Â
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.Â
Arun began Symbiosis in 2017 with his wife Subha, a physical therapist. The idea of Symbiosis took root in late night kitchen table discussions where Subha and Arun worked out a means to solve the ocean of problems that Subha, like many other healthcare professionals, faced when opening her own practice. Arun was able to incorporate his professional expertise in business, operations, and IT to create a revolutionary solution for healthcare providers who want to start and grow their practice.
Subha is the co-founder and COO of Symbiosis. Coupled with her passion for physical therapy and with a Bachelor of Physical Therapy, a Post Professional Masters in Orthopedic Physical Therapy and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Subha has over 15 year of experience as a successful physical therapist. In that time Subha has also worked as a clinic director and as the owner of her own private practice, this has enabled Subha to experience the entire spectrum of the patient care life-cycle.

Arun has over 16 years of leadership experience delivering outcome-based business value, including his tenure at big four IT consulting firms.
