On the Brink of a Business Plan
<p>As we wrap up the first season of the podcast, it’s worth reflecting on the ground we’ve covered. We’ve dug into the forces reshaping surgical practice—how patient expectations are evolving alongside the push toward outpatient care, and what that means for how surgeons deliver services. We’ve also tackled the harder conversations about reimbursement pressures and provider burnout, issues that threaten the long-term sustainability of healthcare in communities across the country.</p><p>Today we’re looking forward. Our guest is Greg Venn, CEO of Nexcore, who has spent more than 25 years working in healthcare real estate. He’s seen firsthand how the physical infrastructure of healthcare has evolved and has a clear perspective on where things are headed. His experience spans the development and investment side of the industry, giving him a unique vantage point on the decisions that will shape surgical practices for years to come.</p><p>In this conversation, we’re focused on giving surgeons the insight they need to navigate what’s next—particularly when it comes to ambulatory surgical centers. As ASCs continue to grow in importance, understanding the real estate and investment landscape behind them becomes essential. Greg’s perspective will help connect the dots between infrastructure trends and the practical realities of running a surgical practice in the decade ahead.</p>

On the Brink of the Future of ASCs
<p>Declining reimbursements and rising costs have left many surgeons searching for strategies to secure their practice’s future. In this episode, we explore why real estate investment has become an essential component of financial planning for surgical practices, not a peripheral consideration.</p><p>Dr. David Mack, an orthopedic surgeon with decades of experience in both medicine and real estate, shares his journey from small practice to thriving multi-physician establishment. He offers candid insights on what it takes to move from tenant to owner, including developing a clear vision that goes beyond aesthetics to encompass clinical workflows and long-term goals. He also addresses the real challenge of building consensus among physician partners.</p><p>The through-line: surgeons possess expertise that translates well to evaluating real estate opportunities. With trusted advisors and a proactive mindset, physicians can move beyond perpetual rental arrangements toward ownership models that strengthen their finances and their ability to deliver exceptional care.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

On the Brink of Belief
<p>Dr. Eric Haas has spent his career at the forefront of colon and rectal surgery, but his ambitions extend beyond the operating room. As founder and president of the Houston Colon and Rectal Surgical Group, he recognized that leasing clinical space came with limitations—for his practice and his patients. That realization sparked a journey into healthcare real estate development that would reshape how he delivers care.</p><p>In this episode, Dr. Haas walks Carolyn through building a purpose-built facility designed to bring specialists together under one roof. His vision centers on collaboration: surgical and gastroenterological services working in concert, creating a seamless experience for patients who often navigate fragmented care. It’s an approach reflecting a broader shift in healthcare, where integration is producing better outcomes.</p><p>But vision alone doesn’t build buildings. Dr. Haas opens up about the practical realities: finding the right land, aligning with partners who understand healthcare development, and navigating a process most clinicians never encounter. His story is inspiration and instruction for any physician considering a similar path.</p>
