Exit Strategies
Some of the biggest dilemmas mobile surgeons face include valuing their practice and deciding on an exit strategy. What are the options? Is your mobile practice worth anything? Is selling to a corporation possible? Is it a realistic scenario for a solo surgeon, as opposed to a multi-surgeon practice?
