In the latest episode of The Radiology Report, we’re joined by Anthony Dispenziere, CEO of Reno Radiological Associates (RRA), for a conversation about the business behind independent radiology practice and what it takes to stay competitive in an increasingly consolidated and complex healthcare landscape.

Anthony brings a unique perspective to the business of radiology. With a background in accounting and operations, he previously served as a Practice Manager at Zotec before taking the helm at RRA, physician-owned practice in Reno, Nevada. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • The role of the practice CEO: Anthony describes the day-to-day responsibilities of running a radiology group as a "one-man shop" from operations to strategy to legislative advocacy.
  • Strategic growth without added complexity: RRA’s growth philosophy centers on simplicity. Anthony explains how minimizing complexity lowers costs, improves efficiency, and helps smaller groups stay competitive amid rising consolidation.
  • Challenges from teleradiology giants: With some national teleradiology groups turning away business or facing one-year waitlists, Anthony discusses how smaller practices can meet demand and whether RRA is integrating teleradiology into its model.
  • Legislative advocacy and the physician voice: A strong advocate for radiologist engagement in healthcare policy, Anthony shares why radiologists must play a larger role in shaping legislation, especially around reimbursement cuts, medical debt policy, and immigration reform to address the physician shortage.
  • The impact of private equity and healthcare middlemen: Anthony offers a candid critique of private equity’s role in medicine, arguing that misaligned financial incentives and excessive transactional fees threaten the long-term sustainability of patient care.
