For Clinicians & Healthcare Operators
I'm a practicing orthopedic and sports PT who builds and deploys digital recovery technology inside real orthopedic care. I write and teach on what actually makes AI stick in a clinic, not what makes it demo well in a sales pitch.
01 / What’s here
Five distinct things, not one blended feed. Read what applies, skip what doesn't.
Two lists, on purpose. Plan of Care is the writing, free every week on Substack. The clinician list is everything else: teaching releases, early access, and first word when the community opens. Join either. Join both.
Plan of Care
My weekly Substack on MSK care, recovery, and the operational reality of delivering it. Written for clinicians and healthcare executives who want the floor-level truth.
Read on SubstackWhat Just Shipped
A running series, not a one-time guide: when Anthropic, OpenAI, or Cursor release something new, I tell you honestly whether it changes anything for your clinic, and what to check this week if it does.
Read the latestAI for Orthopedic PT
The evergreen playbook: documentation, scheduling, patient communication, compliance, revenue cycle. Practical teaching on deploying AI in outpatient MSK care, built from real deployment, not demos.
Get early access when it shipsCommunity & Courses
A place for clinicians building the next version of this profession: courses, cohorts, and a community that trades in what works. Opens when the interest list says it should.
Tell me to build itPT Workforce Capacity Risk Index
A public-data index scoring every state on projected PT capacity strain, built from BLS, CAPTE, and Census data. Not a vendor pitch. Check your market.
Check your stateFrom the clinic floor
Every workflow I teach here is one I've already run inside real clinical operations.
01
I ran a 14-clinic region before this. I watched good clinicians treat “we’ll deal with AI once it’s proven” as the safe move. It wasn’t safe. It was slower, and slow compounds against you, not for you.
02
Somewhere in your market, a clinic is already running the documentation shortcut, the scheduling logic, the patient communication layer, quietly, while the rest of the room is still debating whether any of this is real. By the time it’s obviously real, the early movers own the workflow advantage. The clinics that waited buy it back later, at a premium, from a vendor who’s never touched a patient.
03
That’s the gap I’m writing and building in. Not hype, not a keynote demo. What actually changes your Monday at the clinic, and what’s still six months from mattering.
02 / Straight answers
The questions I’d ask if I were you.
No. I’m not selling a platform or a keynote. I’m a working orthopedic PT building digital recovery technology, documenting in public what actually works when you deploy this stuff inside real clinical operations, and saying so plainly when something doesn’t.
No. Compliance and patient data get the caution they deserve. Nothing here asks you to gamble your license for a shortcut. What’s actually safe to automate (scheduling, documentation drafts, patient communication) is a different list than what requires a hard line, and I keep those two lists separate on purpose.
No CS degree required. If you can run a clinic schedule, you can run what I teach here. Plain language, real workflows, nothing you need an IT department to translate.
Because I’m actually doing it, not theorizing about it. I ran full P&L across 14 clinics before this. Now I build and deploy digital recovery programs inside real orthopedic care. What I teach comes from the floor, not the sales deck.
The clinician list
The clinics moving now aren't smarter. They started sooner. You'll hear it from someone still on the floor.
One list, low volume: new writing, teaching releases, and first access when the community opens. Your inbox is not a growth channel. I treat it that way.
