Dr. Masur shares insights from inside a large, multi-specialty private practice that spans across the Phoenix Valley. With services ranging from general and minimally invasive surgery to colorectal, breast, and trauma care, his group has grown significantly—including a major merger during the COVID-19 pandemic. A major focus of the conversation is the shift from private practice to physician employment within large health systems. Dr. Masur explains how financial pressures, reimbursement changes, and generational preferences are driving more doctors toward employed roles. While these positions offer stability and benefits, they may also reduce long-term community ties and continuity of care. Tim and Dr. Masur dive into how this shift impacts patient relationships, accountability, and the overall healthcare experience. They also discuss the rise of “algorithmic care” versus individualized treatment, and why medicine isn’t as one-size-fits-all as technology might suggest. The conversation also touches on physician shortages, increasing competition, and how declining reimbursements are forcing doctors to see more patients just to maintain sustainability. Dr. Masur highlights how these pressures influence career decisions for younger physicians, including specialty choices and whether to pursue additional training. ------------------------------------------ Interested in being part of this?
