Questions practice owners actually ask.

A fractional C-suite advisor is a senior healthcare executive — CEO, COO, or CFO-caliber — who works with your practice on a part-time, tailored basis. Instead of hiring a full-time executive at $250,000–$500,000 per year, you get the same calibre of strategic, financial, and operational judgment for a fraction of the cost, scoped to what your practice actually needs.

Physician practices, dental groups, chiropractic clinics, optometry, mental health, and other healthcare organizations. The fit is strongest for small-to-mid-sized practices that need executive-level leadership but aren't ready — or willing — to commit to a full-time C-suite hire.

A 30-minute consult to understand your practice and the operational weight you're carrying. From there we recommend a tier — Diagnostic, Fractional, or Project — and propose a scope of work. No long-term contracts are required to begin. Most practices start with a Diagnostic engagement and transition into ongoing Fractional support.

Fractional engagements range from 5 to 20 hours weekly. We calibrate at the end of each quarter — scaling up during service-line launches or restructurings, and down once things are running smoothly. You pay only for what you use.

Yes. We work across all 50 states. Most work happens remotely with weekly video standups, and we travel on-site for assessments, implementation weeks, and hands-on training as scope requires.

Every Guidestone advisor is a former C-suite executive with an MBA from a top-tier program and real-world experience running healthcare businesses — at the CEO, COO, or CFO level. We don't deliver reports and walk away. Engagements are custom-tailored, and we stay with the work long enough to know it's running.

Results vary, but our clients typically see measurable gains in operational throughput, reduced overhead, stronger compliance posture, more consistent staff performance, and a clearer strategic direction. Every engagement opens with a measurable-target plan so progress is visible from the start.

Book a consult from our contact page or call (844) 451-0524. No commitment, no sales pitch — just a conversation about whether this is the right time for your practice.
