Protecting the Practice You Built and the Future You’re Working Toward

Healthcare is changing faster than many physician leaders can manage alone. Reimbursement pressure, staffing gaps, operational inefficiencies, compliance risk, succession questions, and growth opportunities can all compete for attention at the same time.

Most practices do not need another vendor giving isolated advice.

They need one trusted advisor who can see the complete picture, identify what matters most, and coordinate the right resources to move the practice forward.

Pullum Advisory Group provides executive guidance, objective insight, and practical implementation support to help healthcare organizations improve performance, strengthen profitability, and build lasting organizational success.

Advisory Services Built Around the Real Needs of Healthcare Practices

Pullum Advisory Group supports physician leaders and healthcare organizations through three core service lines. Each engagement is designed to bring clarity, structure, and actionable direction to the business side of healthcare.

Strategic Advisory Services

Executive-level guidance for practice leaders making important business decisions. We help healthcare organizations evaluate direction, improve leadership alignment, plan for growth, prepare for transition, and move forward with greater confidence.

Practice Assessment Services

Objective, in-depth evaluation of practice operations, financial performance, workflow gaps, and organizational risk. Our assessments identify barriers to success and create a practical roadmap for improvement, which reflects the existing service page’s focus on identifying gaps, vulnerabilities, opportunities, and corrective action.

Practice Management Consulting

Hands-on consulting support across the key operational areas that affect practice performance. This includes people services, finance, risk management, transition services, real estate, branding and marketing, information technology, and education.

Our Approach

We believe successful consulting should be practical—not theoretical.

Our engagements are built around a straightforward methodology:

Assess. Advise. Execute. Improve.

We begin by understanding where your organization stands today, identify the highest-impact opportunities, develop realistic strategies, and work alongside your leadership team to implement meaningful change.

Our recommendations are actionable, measurable, and aligned with your organization’s goals—not generic industry templates.

This model provides senior-level attention, objective advice, and practical solutions – without unnecessary handoffs.

Sunil Kini, MD, Founder and Chief Executive Officer

I was struggling and stuck as a solopreneur and solo-teleradiologist and I was stagnant until Phil came along. He literally breathed life into my business and opened many doors for expansion. I now feel like a true entrepreneur. We are now growing and having fun doing it. Could not have done any of this without his support. I wholeheartedly recommend enlisting his services!

Modern Teleradiology, LLC

Dr. Luis Nadal, MD- President

I had the opportunity to work with Philip Pullum during my transition from academic medicine into negotiating directly with hospital centers, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Philip brings a rare combination of business acumen, persistence, and strategic insight. He not only guided me through complex negotiations but also anticipated challenges and helped prepare proposals and contracts that reflected my best interests.

As a busy physician, I valued how Philip filled critical gaps, followed up consistently, and kept the process moving forward. His professionalism and commitment made what could have been overwhelming feel seamless and productive. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands the business side of medicine and can advocate effectively on your behalf, I highly recommend working with Philip.
