Hi, I'm
Dr. Cary Yurkiw, DC
Practice Coach · 33 Years in Practice · 25 as an Owner
School taught you how to treat. Nobody taught you how to run the place.
You already know the clinical work. What is missing is fees, systems, hiring, and the numbers that decide whether you are still doing this in decade three. I have already made those mistakes. You do not have to.
Start with the free webinar. Go deeper in a mastermind, a one-on-one, or an audit that puts your practice in writing.
Your practice. Your pace.
Four steps. Start free. Go only as far as you need.
You don’t have a new-patient problem first.
You have a dropout problem. People start, then drift. This hour gives you the three-step close that turns a visit into a kept plan — before you spend another dollar finding strangers.
The October Protocol
In forty-five minutes, you walk away with:
- Why your good clinic still leaks — the visit ends without a decision
- How you convert before they stand: one job, one reason, one date
- A plan short enough your patients keep, not a twelve-week speech
- The same close in every room you run — doctor, therapist, and desk
- How you hold the book without buying more strangers this month
Four weeks in your practice, not in theory.
For you if you’re done collecting ideas. Four weekly sessions put the work into your clinic, beside a cohort of clinicians working the same questions.
- 4 live group sessions over 4 weeks, on your real cases
- Guidance applied to your schedule, fees, and team
- Peer accountability with other clinicians
- Every session recorded, yours to keep
- A private community for the questions between sessions
Your practice. Your questions. One plan.
We look at where you are, what’s holding the practice back, and leave you with a plan you can act on this week.
- 30-minute working session on your practice
- Pre-session intake so the time goes to what matters to you
- A written action plan after the call
- Two weeks of email follow-up
You already know something is off. You want it in writing.
Coaching is you bringing the questions. An audit is the reverse. I go through the practice the way an owner would, tell you what I find, and put it in writing. Two formats: one runs remotely from your numbers and systems, the other adds a half day on your floor. Both end with the same report and the same hour going through it together.
Remote Practice Audit
Your numbers, your systems, your paperwork. Most of what leaks out of a practice leaks somewhere you can measure, and you’re too close to it to see.
- Intake pack — schedule and billing data, fee guide, care plan materials, intake forms
- A short walkthrough video you film on your phone during a busy hour
- 60-minute call with you, plus 30 minutes with whoever runs your front desk
- The written report, within one week
- 60-minute debrief call once you’ve read it
On-Site Practice Audit
Everything in the remote audit, plus a half day watching your practice actually run. Some things only exist in real time.
- Everything in the remote audit
- A half day in your clinic during normal hours
- Patient flow and room use watched in real time
- The first ninety seconds of a new patient, as it actually happens
- Time with your team on the floor, not on a call
Half day on-site · written report · 60-min debrief · travel quoted separately
Request an on-site auditThe look
Through your numbers and systems, or on your floor. Either way the search is the same — where visits, time, and money quietly get lost.
The written report
What showed up, what it’s costing you, and what to change first. Written plainly, in a document you keep.
The 1-on-1 debrief
We go through the report together, in the order that moves your needle fastest. Your questions, answered directly.
What gets looked at
- Scheduling, recall, and the gap between booked and shown
- Fees, care plans, and how they’re presented
- Front desk scripts, and what a new patient is actually told
- Team roles — who’s doing work that isn’t theirs
- The three numbers worth watching, and where yours sit
- Patient flow and room use, watched live On-site
- The first ninety seconds of a new patient On-site
On-site visits cover Kelowna and the Central Okanagan; Vancouver and the Lower Mainland by arrangement, travel quoted separately. The remote audit has no geographic limit. Everything you send is de-identified — no patient names, ever.
You don’t have to run someone else’s version of a successful practice.
Most of this started as notes from a clinic that almost broke its owner. It became a book for the practitioner who wants the schedule, the fees, and the team to fit the life they actually want.
Building a Thriving Practice on Your Own Terms
A professional's guide to practice success for the modern clinician
There’s a default version of practice you get handed. The hours, the volume, what a successful clinic is supposed to look like. Almost none of it is compulsory.
This is the other way. Decide what you’re actually building before you build it, then make the schedule, the fees, and the team fit that — instead of the other way round.
Written for the practitioner who doesn’t want somebody else’s version of a successful practice.

Questions owners ask first
Before you spend an hour or a dollar.
Do I have to do them in order? +
No. Most owners get more from starting with the webinar. It’s free, it’s forty-five minutes, and it gives you the foundation the others build on. This cycle is The October Protocol — retention and conversion of people already in your clinic. If you already know you want the mastermind, a one-on-one, or an audit, start there.
Remote or on-site — which should I choose? +
If your problem is in the numbers — patients not rebooking, a gap between booked and shown, fees that haven’t moved in years — the remote audit finds it, and it finds it for less. Choose on-site when you suspect the problem is in the room: how patients move through the space, what your team actually says, where the day gets away from you. Those things don’t show up in a spreadsheet. If you’re not sure, book the free 15-minute consult and you’ll get an honest read on which one fits.
What do I have to send for a remote audit? +
A short list: schedule and billing summaries, your fee guide, your care plan materials, and your intake paperwork. Everything comes de-identified — no patient names, ever. Most owners pull it together in under an hour. You’ll also film about ten minutes on your phone during a busy stretch. That tells more than a spreadsheet.
Who is this for? +
Licensed health professionals — chiropractors, physiotherapists, naturopaths, dentists, clinic owners — who want a practical place to start, without the hype.
Will my team know they’re being assessed? +
That’s your call. On-site, the visit is a guest in the clinic, and most teams settle within the first half hour. The report is about the practice — systems, roles, and where the work is landing in the wrong place. Nothing goes to your team unless you send it.
How is this different from other programs? +
The guide is still in practice: 33 years as a clinician, 25 as an owner, and more than 80 clinics worked from the inside as a locum. Most practice advice is extrapolated from one clinic. Yours won’t be.
Can I just talk first? +
Yes. Book a free 15-minute consult using the button below. No obligation.
Not sure which step is yours?
Book a free 15-minute consult — we’ll figure out where you are. Or start with Tuesday’s hour. It’s free.
