Meet Michael Uzmann
We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Michael Uzmann. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Michael below.
Alright, Michael thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.
The original idea for A1 Endocrinology began around November 2024. Although my practice was overflowing and successful under the former employer mounting challenges were difficult to overlook. From reimbursement to hiring decisions outside my control the feeling was always one of being treated as an afterthought. When my girlfriend, Liset, suggested I had the skills to do more a plan was set in motion. Of course “business” isn’t something they teach in Medical School or Residency, so there’s been a lot to learn there. Thankfully I’ve been surrounded by good people like Liset, a local business owner and close friend, my clinic staff and a good billing team. My best advice? Surround yourself with great people.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
As a native Ohioan my move from Columbus to Las Vegas is probably the biggest story. Following a brief and unpleasant stint in Phoenix a man much older and wiser than I told me over lunch “don’t go somewhere for a job, go somewhere you love and let the job find you.” I always loved Las Vegas and still do, so pairing excellent training from The Ohio State University with a city I love has dovetailed into what we’re doing today at A1 Endocrinology. Honestly, my story is not all that complicated, just a lot of effort and the good fortune to be smart enough to make it work.
