Is Your Practice Lacking a Competent Office Manager?

Chiropractic practices with dedicated managers tend to offer better service and generate higher revenue. In my early experience working with a large chiropractic office, the practice included 28 adjusting rooms, multiple associate doctors, and saw over 2,000 visits weekly. The doctor was often away attending seminars or traveling, while the practice manager and the COO (the doctor’s wife) helped run the clinic. Similarly, I recently spoke with a manager in a practice with four doctors, where the owner planned to shift to part-time work, and the manager took on the responsibility of running the practice.

In larger practices, having a manager allowed the owner to focus on patient care, which boosted revenue. Studies confirm the benefits of having a manager. A 2005 study found that small firms with a second-in-command grow 15-25% faster, while a 2018 Harvard Business Review article highlighted that CEOs who delegate to managers increase strategic time, leading to higher revenue. Gallup’s research also shows that good managers increase profits, work quality, and retention, while reducing absenteeism.

Effective managers help doctors see more patients, improve care, and support the staff, all while taking ownership of the business. Some doctors prefer a smaller operation, but others, especially entrepreneurs, want to grow their practices and achieve financial independence. For those doctors, training a manager is key to success.
