Experience and Professionalism
SINCE 1988 the J.A. KNAPP Agency continues to bring a preferred program custom tailored to your medicine and business needs. We know that when you went to school to become a physician, your goal was to help people heal. You didn't know you were going to be a small business owner; a role that would require you to run PR, manage staff, balance expenses, calculate taxes, advocacy… all while serving the needs of others.
N.D.s, there's something we need to talk about.
Did you know that a majority of naturopathic physicians are chronically under-protected or have NO PROTECTION at all in their practice.
You may not think it will happen to you, so you play the game and hope you won't lose, but in doing so you risk everything you have built…
Years of schooling
An incredible amount of student loan debt
Your reputation
Your credibility
Your ability to provide for your family
And most importantly, the ability to serve the patients that need your medicine the most
