[vc_row gap=”10″ kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Becoming self-employed and opening one\u2019s own practice is a dream shared by many doctors, but rarely easy to achieve. For Dr Tatjana Walser, founder of the practice \u00c4rzte 8808\/Doctors 8808 in Pf\u00e4ffikon, this dream became reality in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Between the search for premises<\/strong>, the creation of a visual identity<\/strong>, the building of a patient base<\/strong> and administrative management<\/strong>, every step represented a challenge.<\/p>\n

Today, her practice is a local reference point, notably thanks to a clear digital strategy and the integration of OneDoc Pro right from the start<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1763039022109{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 The 7 key steps to opening an independent medical practice<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

The need: gaining freedom without losing visibility<\/h2><\/header>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1762945511374{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]Before taking the leap, Dr Walser worked as an employed physician in a medical practice.
\nBut the working conditions and lack of organisational freedom quickly sparked a desire for change<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1762945524051{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
\n

To open your own practice, you need flexibility, creativity and courage. In return, you are rewarded with great decision-making freedom and independence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1762945565150{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]Independence also meant a new challenge: attracting patients to a completely new practice.<\/p>\n

Even though she was able to take over some patients from her previous job, this was not enough to ensure the viability of the project. She therefore had to rely on online visibility and easy access to make the practice known<\/strong> and to quickly build a new patient base.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1763039033617{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The solution: a strong digital presence and online appointment booking with OneDoc<\/h2><\/header>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1762945669365{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]From the very creation of the practice, Dr Walser surrounded herself with communication and management experts<\/strong>. On their advice, she chose a neutral name: \u201c\u00c4rzte 8808\u201d, based on Pf\u00e4ffikon\u2019s postcode. The idea was to build a brand independent of the doctor\u2019s name<\/strong>, which would be easier to hand over in the future.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1762945690332{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]She also invested in a comprehensive digital presence<\/strong>: an informative website, activity on social media, and online appointment booking via OneDoc Pro.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1762945711599{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
