Our Mission

It is the mission of Practice Management Associates to provide the highest quality advice and services to doctor’s offices to help them expand and grow their practices financially in an honest, ethical, and positive way while reducing their stress so they can focus on the best clinical outcomes for their patients.

About Us

Mr. Jilani brings his Ivy League education, many years of experience working in large multi-million and billion-dollar organizations, and training in two consulting systems to bear on the problems faced by private doctor’s offices. By implementing the same systems used by large national organizations, many of the common problems faced by private doctors can be quickly resolved.


We bring the expertise of working with fine-tuned management systems and apply them to private doctor’s offices that can’t afford to hire a highly skilled practice administrator.
