There are very few practice models where you can own your practice and still have the stability of an organization to manage the business side of operations for you.

The leadership team's purpose and goal at Lexington Clinic is to facilitate and make physicians' day-to-day lives easier and to preserve the last bit of autonomy they have in practicing medicine.

Our CEO is a physician who practiced medicine in a private equity-owned environment for many years. That experience inspired him to never want to work in that model again. He flipped that model upside down at Lexington Clinic physicians are at the top of the pyramid. We feel if physicians are fulfilled and happy in their careers, that will translate into exceptional patient care.
