An Inspirational Journey with Dr. Joe Serghany

April 12, 2021 by wpcornerstone

An Inspirational Journey with Dr. Joe Serghany

I recently had the great pleasure and honor of sitting down with Dr. Joe Serghany, a radiologist in Buffalo, New York, and the founder of WNY MRI. Watching the interview afterward, I couldn’t help but feel inspired by his story—a true testament to the American Dream.

Dr. Serghany grew up in Lebanon, completing his medical school education amidst a country in crisis due to war. This turmoil forced him to seek opportunities in the United States, where he completed his residency training at the University of Buffalo. After graduating, he briefly worked as an employed radiologist before realizing his true calling was to be a business owner.

Together with fellow Buffalo radiologists, Dr. Serghany founded WNY MRI, establishing their first location on Genesee Street. This site housed Buffalo’s first MRI machine, purchased by a consortium of local hospitals. Since then, WNY MRI has expanded to twelve locations, offering a comprehensive suite of advanced radiologic imaging services.

What sets Dr. Serghany apart is his exceptional business acumen—a rare find among physicians. His ability to blend medical expertise with entrepreneurial skills has been a driving force behind the growth and success of WNY MRI. From real estate development to business strategy, Dr. Serghany has been instrumental in every facet of the business.

Despite his extensive business responsibilities, Dr. Serghany continues to read images on a full-time basis. His dedication to both his medical practice and his business exemplifies the qualities of a true leader and visionary.

Dr. Joe Serghany’s story is not just one of personal success but also a source of inspiration for medical professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs alike. His journey underscores the importance of perseverance, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of one’s dreams.

In this video, I asked Dr. Serghany the following questions: 1.) You’re originally from Lebanon, where you completed medical school. What brought you to the United States? 2.) What made you choose radiology? 3.) What lead to the decision to open your own practice? 4.) If you were in Residency today, would you follow the same path, or would you take the route to be employed instead? 5.) When owning your own practice, have you discovered it is better to own or lease your space? 6.) Advice to current medical students and residents?

It is well worth the ten minutes of your time to listen to his responses. Dr. Serghany is impressive, inspiring, and humble. I hope you value this experience as much as I did!

Insurance Coverage Needs for Medical Practices

March 31, 2021 by wpcornerstone

Insurance Coverage Needs for Medical Practices

Graduating from residency is an exciting milestone that unlocks numerous career opportunities. Whether you choose to work for a health system, join a private practice, or start your own, one critical factor remains constant: the need for proper malpractice insurance. If you’re employed by a health system, this is typically taken care of for you. However, if you opt for private practice or self-employment, securing professional liability coverage becomes your responsibility—a step you cannot afford to overlook.

The Importance of Malpractice Insurance

Malpractice insurance is more than just a formality—it’s an essential safeguard against potential legal claims. Navigating the options and selecting the right coverage can feel overwhelming, but partnering with a knowledgeable, licensed insurance agent who puts your needs first can make all the difference.

Expert Guidance from Mike Shay

At Cornerstone Healthcare Consulting, we rely on the expertise of Mike Shay, a licensed insurance agent with Steinmiller Insurance based in Rochester, New York. In a recent conversation, our owner, Missy Starowitz, sat down with Mike to explore the essentials of securing the right malpractice insurance—whether you’re an employer or an employee.

Beyond Malpractice Insurance

Mike goes beyond just malpractice coverage—he offers a comprehensive look at the business insurance you’ll need if you plan to own a medical practice. Even for non-practice owners, Mike highlights essential additional coverages that extend beyond malpractice insurance to ensure complete protection. While this might seem like an attempt to sell more insurance, Mike emphasizes the value of a simple umbrella policy. For as little as $200 per year, it can provide $1,000,000 in extra liability coverage, safeguarding your home, personal assets, and car with an added layer of security.

Why Trust Mike Shay and Steinmiller Insurance?

Mike Shay is a highly trusted professional who has consistently proven to be an invaluable resource for many of our clients. With a consultative approach, he excels at identifying opportunities to deliver value while offering personalized coverage tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Conclusion

For new doctors, understanding the insurance requirements for medical practices is essential. From malpractice coverage to additional business and personal policies, having the right protection is critical. Working with a trusted insurance agent can help ensure you’re fully covered and prepared for any challenges.
