Steven Davison, MD shares his own journey through the hidden costs of building your own surgery center in competitive Washington, DC.

Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery.

As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits.

The Hidden Costs of Building Your Own Surgery Center

Specifically, this week on "Beauty and the Biz," I spoke with Dr. Steven Davison.

Interestingly, he is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Washington, D.C., with more than 17 years in private practice.

Also, Dr. Davison has trained generations of surgeons at Georgetown.

Moreover, he's delivered more than 95 lectures worldwide. In addition, he built one of the most advanced practices in the D.C. area.

In summary, that includes a two-OR, Medicare-certified surgery center — a project most surgeons would never attempt.

To summarize in "The Hidden Costs of Building Your Own Surgery Center," Dr. Davison shared:

• First, why he left academia after nine years for private practice

• Next, the career turning points he has seen over the decades

• Then, hard lessons from building a surgery center, including hidden carrying costs

• Finally, how staffing and governance can determine success or failure

Therefore, if you're considering expansion or adding a surgery center, listen to this podcast first. Clearly, his advice can help you avoid costly mistakes.

P.S. Importantly, only a handful of surgeons in D.C. have cleared the regulatory hurdles Dr. Davison faced. Ultimately, his insights could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Enjoy!
