About

A firm for physicians making practice decisions

We help physicians open a clinic, steady the one they already run, and decide when a second location is the right move.

Our role is to help physicians make better business and operating decisions before avoidable issues become expensive to correct. That means clarifying the clinic model early, building a workable operating structure, and supporting the next decisions required to move from planning into execution.

The work fits three moments: how to launch with more structure, how to improve a clinic that is under strain, and how to evaluate growth without losing operational discipline. Serving physician-led clinics across Canada.

Where we focus

  • Clinic launch. The business and operating model, before early decisions on space, staffing, systems, and service mix become difficult to reverse.
  • Operations. Workflow, accountability, scheduling, patient flow, and the management structure a consistent day requires.
  • Growth. Expansion decisions supported by operating discipline, financial logic, and a sequence, not by momentum alone.

Lead Advisor, Clinic Strategy and Implementation

MBA, CMC, PMP

Marco leads advisory work on clinic launch strategy, operating structure, and implementation planning. He works with physicians to turn practice decisions into a sequence owners, managers, and outside partners can carry out.

His perspective is grounded in business planning, project delivery, and operational coordination. He built both locations of Central Park Medical Clinic, a pediatric and pediatric endocrinology clinic in Ottawa: Central Park at 6-314 Central Park Dr., Ottawa K2C 0R2, and Merivale at 942 Merivale Rd., Ottawa K1Z 5Z9, which opened in late August 2026. GenExa Integrated Health & Wellness, a physician-guided preventive clinic in Ottawa, is in development for a fall 2027 opening.

Focus: clinic launch planning, operating model design, and implementation roadmaps.
