About | Symbiosis | Healthcare Practice Management Consultants

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:

Three Fundamental Conclusions

Highest Quality Care:

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:

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.

Commercial Landlords:

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.
