Join Dr. Tudor Francu as he sits down with Barry Howell, the dynamic CEO of Plano Orthopedic, for an insightful conversation on healthcare leadership, practice management, and the real human side of running a successful orthopedic group. Barry walks us through his career—from banking to physician recruiting to private equity deals—and how he leads with collaboration, transparency, and purpose.
You'll hear about his philosophy of “rounding for results,” how he keeps patient care front and center, and how he navigates financial challenges in independent practices. Barry also talks candidly about failures, including a yet-to-launch MRI integration plan, and shares tips on how doctors can avoid burnout and build passive income through smart investments.
Key Takeaways:
The power of visibility and relationship-building in clinical leadership
Why rounding is more than just checking in—it’s strategic
Real-world challenges of integrating imaging services
Advice for physicians on retirement, burnout, and financial independence
