Average practice (to make profits) one main office, then one or two shared office used on that drs day off, or use half day.
One physician wouldn’t spend hours traveling when they can make money in one place. If you are good at what you do, patient will travel hours to get that appointment.
We had a practice with 4 orthopedic surgeons, one PA, and CFA. 3 office staff, 1 X-ray tech, and shared PT. 1 main office, and 2 satellite 1/2 day offices. Even then some days it was a stretch if trauma hit ED.
Plus young newly board physicians don’t care if hospitals are new, they just want a place to land, make some money, then move on with experience. Have been involved with 3 new hospitals, takes awhile for the dance to become fluid

I was kind of being facetious when I said 20 offices.
I was pointing out that TV is ripe with lots of patients.
And I wasn’t thinking a single practitioner, was thinking something along the lines of Rothman Orthopedics, (40 offices in 4 states).
