WHAT WE ARE SOLVING

Private Practice Can Be Tough Without Support

Today’s private practice landscape is more challenging and competitive than ever. Patients as consumers have higher expectations on accessibility and communication with you and your practice. Doctors face increased pressure from larger hospital systems and payers.

You want to give your patients every chance for successful treatment but reimbursement pressure, wage inflation and labor shortages hamper growth and profitability of independent practices. Regulatory requirements and operational burdens often take your attention away from providing your best care.

Physicians struggle to tackle these challenges and still provide care to patients their patients that meets their standards? It can be overwhelming.  It’s also why some of Michigan’s top Gastroenterologists and Colorectal Surgeons joined together to overcome the challenges facing healthcare today by forming Pinnacle GI Partners.

Pinnacle GI Partners are a team of business partners to independent Gastroenterology and Colorectal specialists. Working together, administrative experts and physicians partner to build even better practices and help everyone win – today and in the future.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Doctors Are Saying

“What I learned in medical school was how to be a gastroenterologist. What I learned here is how to be a doctor. What it means to care for people. What it means to go the extra mile. I think that all of our patients here deserve to be listened to, deserve to be heard, to be treated as though they were a member of our own family. That’s something I feel that my partners and I do for the community.”

“We’ve been able to get back to the clinical skills for which we trained many years. Other people spend many years training for business skills. So, why not let them do what they do well while we do what we do best?“

“We’ve gone from a smaller practice to a much larger practice with Pinnacle GI Partners. I have enjoyed being in the private practice model for having more autonomy. We have the option to think outside the box and improve patient care- in a large health system, that just doesn’t exist.”
Daniel Coffey, M.D. ‍Practicing Surgeon at Digestive Health Institute

“We have a very large patient population. So, if someone is interested in a specific niche of GI, we definitely have the patients, volume, and the referral base to be very successful."

“We saw that if we could have the services of multiple practices under one umbrella, that just strengthens us because then, we as physicians can concentrate on taking care of patients. And the administrative portions are left to the people who do that best.”

“Some use the term Pracademic to describe us. We have a fellowship program. We teach medical students. We teach residents. We participate in research. At the same time, we don’t have some of the constraints you might find in other settings.”

“We have autonomy with what we want to do with our patients. The transparency is there. It's a breath of fresh air for me that I don't have to do any of the marketing anymore, set up meetings.”

“I feel like we have so much less red tape. If the patient needs the other specialty, it's often as simple as a phone call or a click by the receptionist on the computer.”

“One of the reasons we partnered with Pinnacle GI Partners is for the preservation of private practice. The preservation of excellent care. When we as physicians can focus on the patients and do what we do best, patients thrive. That’s when we can get the best outcomes.”
