After a successful eight-year career on wall street, Percy Naranjo, MBA took the leap to start Performance Pain and Sports Medicine (Previously named Performance Spine and Sports Medicine) with a group of physician friends. Percy strategized, modeled, and negotiated the necessary contract for the flagship location in Lawrenceville New Jersey, and has since helped grow the practice to six locations across three different states.

In this episode I spoke with Percy for a “how to” on starting and scaling a private pain management practice. During our discussion Percy also reveals the key insights that he learned throughout the growth process and his top recommendations for those looking to follow a similar career path.

Hope you are able to find value and utilize some of the tips from this discussion!
