After ten years of a very busy, broad based family practice I was burning out. I love medicine, but the pace and stress of general practice was wearing me down. Couple that with the demands of a young family and I was feeling trapped and overwhelmed.
While reflecting on my work-life balance I received a flyer advertising the opportunity with Gentle Procedures. I took a chance and flew across the country to meet Neil. We had dinner together to discuss the business opportunity, and I then spent a day in clinic with Neil to see if the procedures were actually as good as advertised. I was blown away. From the procedures themselves, to the entire Gentle Procedures process of training, launching the business and ongoing support – it is all very thorough and impressive.
So I took the plunge, invested the time and money, and was up and running quickly. I have NO REGRETS. I have learned so much, felt so supported, and have already started to see the benefits in my life. I highly recommend this opportunity. It’s a game changer
After my education at Yale, followed by medical school, I was left with six-figures of debt. So, to avoid the rat race I started my medical career doing locums in rural and remote cities throughout Canada. As an life-long urbanite, however, I eventually returned to the city and became limited to working at walk-in clinics and traditional family practice. I was quickly consumed by the pressure to see as many patients as possible at the expense of quality patient care while still feeling underpaid.
Joining Gentle Procedures allowed me to change all of that. I now work at a world-class organisation providing two surgical procedures that truly make a difference in patients’ lives. I have received excellent mentorship from Dr Pollock in medicine, business and in life. I now wake up every morning excited by the challenge of my daily surgical cases and yes even running a business! I also have had the exciting opportunity to travel to Haiti to train local Haitian physicians in vasectomy, which has garnered tremendous enthusiasm and respect from everyone I know. It allows me to contribute to global health in a way I never thought possible. If you are just starting your career or in need of a change of pace, do not miss this opportunity.
After many years of running a general practice I was keen to consider the next step/challenge. Having a young family, I was trying to balance a career whilst making time for the important things in life. I heard about Dr Pollock and how he had so successfully developed his niche surgical procedures clinic, exponentially increasing his revenue whilst reducing his hours, and it all sounded too good to be true. After a little investigation, I took a leap of faith and decided to sign up and go to Canada to meet and train with Dr Pollock.
After a few days of intensive training I returned home to implement the new procedures into my practice and I’m pleased to say that things are going very well and I could not be happier with the outcome. My revenue has gone up; my reputation as the local expert is being solidified and my work/life balance is improving significantly. Thanks Dr Pollock for making this unique opportunity available to Australian doctors. The whole process start to finish was made so simple with your guidance, and with the help of your dedicated staff.
I had been doing my GP practice for 30 years and really needed a change that was both challenging and rewarding. Challenging in learning new techniques and continually improving on it, rewarding in performing much needed procedures that not many other people do, doing it very well and efficiently and at the same time being compensated very well.
I am now doing 2-3 times better financially, working 30-40% less hours in the process, much less stress and planning more holidays without worries being able to afford it or worries about leaving regular patients unattended while away on holiday. Great continued support over the 6 years I’ve been involved and I continue to learn new techniques on improving quality of care to our patients.
I was looking for something to help me ease out of a 25-year career in emergency medicine into semi-retirement in our area in eastern Ontario. I have been very pleased with everything I have learned from Dr Pollock, including the surgical training, all the practical advice, and the educational and marketing materials. My goal was to have a moderately busy clinic several mornings per week, with ample time to talk with my patients and families, and we are there – where I wanted to be.
My training with Dr Pollock was extensive and complete, and I felt very competent to return home to start my clinic. My patients and families are consistently amazed at the elegance of the two techniques. All in all, this has been and continues to be a great experience.
