Helping Physicians Protect Their Families, Assets and Legacy

Planned by a Former Physician

We understand a physician's time, pressure and responsibility


Our founder, Hong Miller, graduated from China Medical University and practiced as a pediatric physician. She knows physicians start building wealth late, after years of training, and then face high income, high taxes, liability risk and relentless schedules.

Physicians give most of their time to patients and the least to their own finances. Physician Family Solutions follows the arc of a medical career — residency, early practice, practice ownership and retirement — with a plan that is concise, clear and actionable.

What's Included

Tailored to physician families

Income Protection

A physician's greatest asset is the ability to earn. Disability income and life protection keep the family's life on track if the unexpected happens.

Practice Succession

Ensure your practice continues to thrive, even without you: partner buyouts, practice sales and transition planning.

Women Physicians Wealth Planning

Unique career, unique journey, unique planning — for maternity leave, family balance, career breaks and longer life expectancy.

Asset Protection

Beyond malpractice coverage, review how assets are owned to build a more complete layer of protection.

Tax Efficiency

High income brings high taxes. We work with your accountant on retirement plans and deferral strategies.

Family Legacy

Trusts, wills and life insurance working together so your hard-earned wealth cares for the people you love.

Common Financial Mistakes Physicians Make

Avoid common mistakes that could impact your financial future

Mistake 01

“I'll plan once my income stabilizes”

Protection is easier and less costly to arrange early; after a change in health, options can narrow significantly.

Mistake 02

“My hospital's group coverage is enough”

Group coverage is often limited and may end when you leave — it may not match a physician's income and family needs.

Mistake 03

“Malpractice insurance protects my assets”

Malpractice policies have limits and exclusions. How assets are owned matters just as much.

Mistake 04

“I'll write a will later”

Young families especially need to name guardians and provide for children — the most basic purpose of an estate plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions physicians ask most

Should residents and early-career physicians start planning now?

We recommend starting early. Income is about to rise quickly and health is usually at its best — an ideal time to secure income and life protection.

We are a two-physician household. What is different?

Dual-physician families earn more but are equally busy. Childcare, protecting both incomes, coordinated asset ownership and higher taxes all need attention.

I own my practice. What happens to it when I retire?

Common paths include selling to a partner, selling to a health system or passing it to family. The earlier you plan, the better your chance of a favorable valuation and timeline.
