5 Lessons From My First Year of My Own Practice With Dr. Brian Watters and Dr. Josh Satterlee

Brian Watters joins us on this episode. He is the Co-Founder of Indy Muscle and Joint Clinic in Indianapolis, which recently celebrated one year of business. Despite starting operations in a difficult year, Indy Muscle and Joint is doing very well. Today, Brian is sharing the valuable and difficult lessons he has learned in opening his own practice.

“You’re gonna hear people say ‘why don’t you do this, why don’t you do this’… you’ve got to start assessing ‘okay, I’m doing right by the patients. No matter what, I will always do right by the patient’, and they will reward you for that.” – Brian Watters
