Doctor Flees Portland Chaos for Midwest Clinic Deal
In this first-person account, Dr. Vince Leone explains how he recruited a physician who was frustrated with the conditions in Portland—specifically long commutes and unpleasant city conditions—to take over Clinic #3 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He leveraged the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) loan guideline that permits financing for practices within a three‑hour travel radius, noting that Fort Wayne is exactly three hours from his location. By securing an SBA loan under this criterion, he was able to purchase the clinic and relocate the doctor within roughly four months. The physician has remained at the clinic since, thriving in the new environment. The segment highlights the logistical steps of clinic acquisition, the strategic use of SBA financing, and the successful outcome of the physician’s move.
