What I'm Building
Staffing For Doctors
Medical practices don't need more résumés. They need work to keep moving.
Staffing For Doctors builds remote medical teams for healthcare organizations, with ongoing recruiting, training, account management, and operational support behind every placement.
The measure of the work is not the placement. It is whether the practice still runs the week after someone leaves.

About
Danny Nabavi is an entrepreneur and the Founder & CEO of Staffing For Doctors. He previously co-founded Berry Virtual, bootstrapping the company from zero to approximately $3.5M in annual recurring revenue before its acquisition in 2023. Following the acquisition, he remained with the organization and helped build MedVirtual, a healthcare staffing business that reached approximately $3M ARR in around twelve months.
Those experiences shaped his approach to Staffing For Doctors: staffing should not simply be about filling seats. The underlying operation should continue functioning when individual employees change.
Danny writes about entrepreneurship, healthcare operations, distributed workforces, company building, and the lessons learned from building multiple staffing businesses.
