Why More Physicians Are Choosing to Open Private Practices in 2025
In recent years, the healthcare landscape has shifted dramatically. Physicians across the U.S. are increasingly leaving hospital employment to reclaim autonomy and open private medical practices. The reasons are clear—greater control, improved patient relationships, and the ability to align care with personal and professional values.
At Cornerstone Healthcare Consulting and Management, we’re seeing a surge in providers ready to take this step—and we’re here to guide them every step of the way.
Physician Burnout is Driving Change
Hospital systems often demand high patient volumes, rigid schedules, and administrative overload. Private practice offers freedom to set your own pace and build a sustainable model that prioritizes patient care over quotas.
Direct Care Models are Gaining Popularity
More physicians are embracing Direct Primary Care (DPC) and cash-based medicine, which eliminate insurance hassles and improve patient outcomes. These models allow for transparent pricing, longer visits, and stronger doctor-patient relationships.
Financial Independence is Within Reach
Contrary to popular belief, opening a private medical practice is financially attainable with the right strategy. Cornerstone helps providers develop lean startup models, manage vendor relationships, and optimize revenue cycles—so profitability starts sooner.
Patients Want Personalized, Local Care
As healthcare becomes more corporatized, patients are craving connection. Independent practices can stand out by offering continuity of care, same-day appointments, and genuine relationships that corporate systems can’t match.
You Don't Have to Do It Alone
From credentialing and vendor setup to marketing and management, Cornerstone Healthcare Consulting and Management provides turnkey solutions for physicians launching or revitalizing private practices.
