Our Company

Principled Medical Management is a company formed to serve physicians with more economical and experienced management services than has previously been available to small to medium-sized practices. With our Executive oversight, your practice is professionally managed by a seasoned medical group executive with extensive experience in private practice, hospitals, academic medicine, and publicly-held environments. We provide financial management, operations management, organizational governance, business development and marketing, human resource management, risk and compliance oversight, and strategic planning at a fraction of the cost of a medical group CEO or administrator. It is our mission to serve physicians so they can serve patients.

About Principled Medical Management

Our Difference

At Principled Medical Management, we believe the heart of independent practice is where physician ownership and leadership is properly supported with top management talent. It is our duty to you to provide our expertise as an extension of your practice to ensure your longevity and to be there to execute your goals. Unlike other models of management services such as MSOs and venture capital models, we are different by being your long-term management team, working with you to ensure your business is meeting your goals at lower cost and greater independence than other models that come and go with the trends.

By partnering with our dual-boarded, executive oversight, your business is managed professionally and economically to help you manage operations, human resources, financials, additional revenue streams, key performance indicators, human resources, governance agreements, medical real estate ownership, and ancillary arms of your practice. When the time comes for retirement or exit strategies, we can plan ahead with you for optimal goal achievement.

At Principled Medical Management, we are your management team.
