Ep. #52, The Independent REI Practice: A Business Model That’s Fading or Relevant? An Interview with Dr. John Nichols

Privately-owned, private equity-backed, academic medicine, independent practice...each type of clinic comes with its own set of pros and cons, but are all of them going to be around forever? On this episode of Inside Reproductive Health, Griffin talks to Dr. John Nichols. Dr. Nichols left his job in academic medicine to open his own private-practice, Piedmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group (PREG) in Greenville, South Carolina. They discuss Dr. Nichols’ journey, his thoughts on the benefits of independent practices, and whether or not these clinics will continue to be relevant in the ever-changing fertility world.
