Every relationship goes through stages, including the relationship between private practice physicians and private equity groups. So what are the red flags you should watch out for? What traits make for a good marriage? We explore the crossroads with Thomas Cunningham, Director of Business Development at Physician Growth Partners.

In this week’s episode, sponsored by Alpha Sophia, Cunningham dives deep into the pressing challenges faced by private practice physicians amidst the onslaught of inquiries from private equity groups.
