Which Business Structure is Best for my Medical Practice? Over the years many providers have come to my office expressing an interest in owning a medical practice, healthcare facility, or healthcare business.

The disciplinary board may be comprised of a three-person panel where you can choose to present your defense. I would advise against signing any documents...
