Shared by: pracp@powerful-practices.com SELECTION OF A NEW CLINIC LOCATION We are asked from time to time have we developed a successful criteria for selecting a new office location. There is not a set in stone criteria, however we have found the following points need to be considered carefully when making your deliberations. Make sure your office location is near where you want to live, is a reflection of who you are, is easy to find and parking is easy, unless you practice downtown in a city. Location, location, location is always paramount. Every different type and style of practice WORKS!!!!!!!!!! If it is what you want and you have a burning desire to succeed there, it will happen. First ask, what do I want? Once you have written down what it is you REALLY want from your practice you will generally get it. Then set about creating a FOR and AGAINST list for each practice location you find. Be totally honest with yourself when making your lists. If you don't get ALL the negatives out on paper you may regret it later. If there is a special area you wish to specialize in make sure you set up in an area that will support you here eg. Downtown CBD practices tend not to see many kids or entire families. If this is what you want you will usually need to locate in a suburban area of town. Make sure your rent is fair and reasonable for your area. Ask your heart, will this location nurture me every day of practice life? If the answer if YES and your physiology feels it, you're usually in the right place. Remember, its ALL IN YOUR HEAD!!
