>> My name is Larry Levine [phonetic], and I'm a podiatrist.
I'm the president and CEO of a large podiatric group practice, Pure Podiatry--
no other ancillary medical fields.
There are 16 of us and we have 34 locations that we practice podiatry out of.
Not including some nursing home and boarding home work.
There are people who are currently in practice who want to retire.
There are people who unfortunately become deceased and their practices become available.
There are areas that need podiatric help.
We also do many of the federally qualified health facilities in New Jersey.
Based on referral basis we started with one and now we do all of them from Trenton to Cape May.
Those are technically not our facilities are actually federal facilities.
We provide all the podiatry care and so we consider them to be our locations.
Some of them we're there two or three days a week some of them we are there more.
So we have a real good eclectic mix of where we see patients.
On a busy day I probably get to my desk it may be 7:30 or so, do some paperwork,
both to prepare myself and to prepare some of my other people for data entry for problems
that may have arisen in the practice, meet with my bookkeeper, I'll meet with my office manager.
I usually start to see patients at about 8:30 and on a typical day I probably see--
stop seeing patients theoretically at about 5:00 but I'm usually about a half an hour behind.
One day a week, Tuesday night, we worked until about 8:30
or 9:00 and that's mostly patient care.
