A Message from Our CEO
When we created MedCBO, the vision was simple: give physicians the freedom to practice medicine without carrying the weight of running a business alone. Too many doctors feel trapped in systems that don’t value their time, their patients, or their independence. We exist to change that.
What makes MedCBO special is our people. Together, our leadership team brings more than 136 years of combined experience in healthcare, technology, finance, operations, and physician partnerships. Each member is here for one reason—to take on the business challenges so you can focus on what matters most: your patients and your practice.
We don’t see ourselves as vendors or consultants. We’re partners who walk alongside you at every stage—launching, stabilizing, and growing your practice with the same care and commitment you bring to your patients.
Independent physicians are the backbone of healthy communities, and with a team like ours by your side, independence isn’t just possible—it’s sustainable.
