About Dr. Joe Chiu, DC
Before this, I was in practice.
I co-owned and grew a pain management clinic, owned and grew my own chiropractic clinic, served as a California Qualified Medical Evaluator, and co-founded a medical lien company.
I've built referral networks from the ground up with physicians and attorneys, more than once. Now I do it for a small number of practices I believe in.
Three steps from first conversation to first outreach.

The fee pays for the work. It never depends on referrals, patient volume, or revenue.
Questions practices ask.
Do you guarantee referrals or patients?
No. No one ethically can. I guarantee the work: the relationships built, the meetings set, your search presence fixed, reported monthly.
Do I need a big marketing budget too?
No. The fee covers the work described here; there are no ad spend requirements.
What if you work with my competitor?
You get exclusivity in your specialty in a market we define by cities or ZIP codes in the contract.
Is this HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. Review replies never confirm that someone is a patient, and patient information is handled to HIPAA standards throughout.
