Build a better practice
by building better people.
geniusDPM helps podiatrists build better practices and better lives through practical frameworks, individual and practice coaching, community, and education.
Build a practice that supports your life, not one that consumes it.
Sometimes the simplest thing is just genius.
A successful practice can still be harder to own than it needs to be. You can have patients, revenue, a good reputation, and a capable team while still carrying too many decisions, solving the same problems, and wondering why growth seems to create more complexity instead of less.
- More decisions land on you.
- Growth creates more complexity.
- The team waits for answers.
- Important numbers compete with urgent noise.
- Success depends too heavily on your energy.
- Clearer priorities.
- Stronger ownership.
- Useful operating rhythms.
- Better decisions from better information.
- A practice that can create momentum without consuming more of you.
The goal isn't to work harder at your practice.
It's to build a practice that works better.
There's more than one way to build better.
Whether you want a framework to work through on your own, a community to grow alongside, or an idea that can change the conversation in your organization, start where you are.
The S5 Method
A practical framework for seeing your practice more clearly and knowing what to improve next. Explore the five switches, use the tools, and put the method to work in your own practice.
Coaching
Individual and practice coaching for podiatrists who want clearer thinking, better decisions, stronger systems, and meaningful progress in their practice and professional life.
The geniusDPM Mastermind
High-level peer community, practical coaching, honest conversation, and useful frameworks for podiatrists who want to build better practices without solving everything alone.
Speaking & Workshops
Keynotes, workshops, podcasts, and educational experiences that turn complex ideas about practice ownership, leadership, teams, and performance into practical action.
Better looks different for everyone.
More revenue matters. So does better leadership, clearer decisions, stronger teams, and having more of yourself left when the workday ends. geniusDPM is built to help practice owners create progress that matters both inside and outside the practice.
They’ve doubled my revenue. They were able to improve my revenue, dramatically, while giving me the confidence and guidance to lead my team.
It’s like having your own board of trustees, which you don’t normally get as a small business owner. You can talk about everything—what’s going well and what’s not—and get unbiased, intuitive feedback from people you trust.
Bouncing ideas off them allowed me to be a better practitioner, leader, and far more successful financially—which also allowed me to be more present at home.
Better practices create better lives.
We know the work behind the work.
geniusDPM was built by podiatrists and practice owners who learned that clinical excellence alone doesn't make a practice easier to own.
Drs. Matthew Dairman and Chris Milkie have spent decades navigating the same questions geniusDPM members face: how to build stronger teams, make better decisions, create sustainable growth, and lead a practice without letting the practice consume the leader.
Together, Matt and Chris bring the perspective of clinicians, practice owners, entrepreneurs, educators, and coaches. But geniusDPM isn't built around having all the answers. It's built around asking better questions, seeing what others miss, and turning complexity into practical action.
Built from decades of clinical practice, ownership, entrepreneurship, teaching, and coaching.

Bring us the practice you’re running, the challenge you’re wrestling with, or the idea you can’t quite get out of your head. We’ll spend 60–90 minutes coaching, exploring, and seeing what we can create together.
There’s no charge and no obligation. Just a chance to experience how geniusDPM thinks, asks questions, and coaches.
