Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Kara Pepper, MD, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Dr. Pepper is an internal medicine physician and former professional ballet dancer. After her residency in internal medicine, Dr. Pepper joined a corporate medical practice. Although she felt it wasn't the perfect fit, she stuck with it. After about seven years, she succumbed to burnout and left on sabbatical. She resumed her job but still wasn't satisfied. The stark reality of the COVID pandemic forced Kara to reassess her priorities. Three years ago, she left corporate medicine to create a solo practice. What began as a telemedicine practice now includes in-person visits as well. She specializes in treating patients with eating disorders. By running her own practice, Dr. Pepper feels she can better serve patients, especially those who feel marginalized by the health care system. Dr. Pepper also discovered a community of physicians who struck out on their own and developed satisfying and successful practices. She happily shares her experience as a physician coach with other doctors who are unhappy in medicine and considering solo practice. She emphasized that "physicians have a voice and autonomy…are not prisoners of their jobs, and can create something new."

Let's get back in touch with a favorite guests from past episodes, friend of the podcast Cassandra Koenig, formerly Cassandra Michel, founder of the amicable family law and divorce firm Aloha Divorce. It's been a few years since we talked, and the firm is thriving (so is Koenig). How did she fare in the past four years, building her own family and a law practice? Hear how she's built a practice and supplemented her client work with contracted, side jobs to fill in slow spots. It's all part of running a true solo practice. Hear how Koenig new from the start she wanted to run a solo practice and stayed true to her aims, all without burning out. She's built a firm on her own terms, focusing on helping families move on in their own direction on good terms. Her practice makes her feel happy and fulfilled, she only works with clients she feels good about, and she keeps humming along. Thinking of going solo? Koenig's story will inspire you. Questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com Topics: It can be done. Guest Cassandra Koening knew she wanted to run a solo practice, and checking in four years later we hear how she is making it work. Technology and outsourcing are key components in a true solo practice. Learn how to source and maximize tech (and as we've said before, don't try to be your own bookkeeper). Not every day is packed with client meetings. Sometimes it takes a little contracted side work to keep the wheels spinning, and that's OK.

Kayal, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS is the founder, president, and CEO of Kayal Orthopaedic Center located in northern New Jersey and New York. Dr. Kayal is the husband of Kim S. Kayal, RN and father of their six children: Katlyn Madeline, Michaela Noel, Robert Joseph, Shannon Isabella, Mia Grace, and Luke Christopher. Dr. Kayal is the proud grandfather (or "Gido") of their newest family addition, Hope Madeline. During the last twenty-five years, Dr. Kayal built one of the most successful multi-specialty orthopaedic medical practices in the United States, and in 2021, in one of the most substantial health care transactions ever to close, he partnered with RWJBarnabas Health, the largest and most comprehensive health care system in New Jersey. Dr. Kayal considers it an honor, pleasure, blessing and privilege to help restore an active lifestyle and joyful life to each of his patients. He gives all his thanks to God for his talents and skills and prays his practice will always be used to honor, glorify, and exalt his awesome Triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Specializing in partial and total joint replacements, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Kayal knows the importance of staying abreast of the latest technologies. By keeping his finger on the pulse of innovation, he can provide beneficial treatments to help patients recover quickly. “What you'll find here aren't just state-of-the-art facilities. It's an entire philosophy,” says Dr. Kayal. With both New Jersey and New York locations, the award-winning practice prides itself on offering advanced orthopaedic treatments in a compassionate environment. As a patient, “you aren't just a number,” says Dr. Kayal. “We're focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life. Besides the Kayal Orthopaedic Center, Dr. Kayal's practice includes centers for Pain & Spine, Rheumatology, Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, bone metabolism, and advanced, high-resolution, cross-sectional medical imaging. These facilities allow him to provide a wider range of musculoskeletal treatments and therapies. “I believe our patients do their homework and choose this practice because of our training, skill, experience, and innovation,” Dr. Kayal says. “But what they also find from us is patience, compassion, and a genuine concern and commitment to each and every one of them.” The Kayal Orthopaedic Center is also dedicated to staying abreast of the latest treatments and technologies in each specialist's field of expertise. Years ago, Dr. Kayal and his team of orthopaedic surgeons began using the Stryker Mako robot, a sophisticated instrument that allows for greater precision and control during partial and total hip and knee replacement surgeries. This customized joint replacement technology, using the Mako robot, in combination with high-resolution cross-sectional medical CT scan imaging and Stryker's proprietary software, ensures accurate sizing, placement, fit, balance, alignment, and rotation of installed components, much akin to being fitted with a "tailor-made suit." At Kayal Orthopaedic Center, this Mako robotic technology has also been used in combination with the minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA) for hip replacement surgery. “You can be certain that the Kayal team has done its homework and is ready to provide our patients with the best treatment approaches available,” says Dr. Kayal. The philosophy of Kayal Orthopaedic Center is to provide every patient with the pain-free, active lifestyle they deserve. With decades of orthopaedic surgery experience, Dr. Robert Kayal and his staff provide comprehensive care that gives patients the one-on-one attention they need. Kayal Orthopaedic Center uses a patient-focused approach that has a proven track record of success. Dr. Kayal has built his practice around highly trained surgeons and specialists, innovative treatments, and state-of-the-art equipment. “Our philosophy is that the most beneficial service is the one that offers the best outcome for each unique patient,” Dr. Kayal says. “We offer everything our patients may need under one roof,” says Dr. Kayal. As of November 2024, Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS has 666 five-star ratings on healthgrades.com. On the practice's website, Dr. Kayal says patients aren't just a number and that the office's patient experience is second to none. “We're focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life,” says Dr. Kayal. Kayal Orthopaedic Center is a proud sponsor and supporter of many local non-profit organizations. Furthermore, the office also works to support local and state police departments by sponsoring golf outings and providing meals to the men and women in blue. Also, as a preceptorship for many physician assistant educational programs in both NY and NJ, Kayal Orthopaedic Center offers shadowing opportunities for students as part of its commitment to the next generation of healthcare providers.
