Hello, Sorry But My Question Is Completely Business Related. We're
Question: Hello, sorry but my question is completely business related. We're opening a STD testing business allowing our customers to order testing kita online and sending then to the lab. The big difference between us and the others is that we're trying extremely hard to make it affordable therefore try to find the lowest prices.we tried working with community centers with a white labeling system but they pretty much as us to work for nothing/free. We would like to find a doctor practitioner willing to work with us for a percentage of what our customers pay per test and send in the lab orders so we can get physician pricing instead of regular customer pricing.the physicians we would work with would write prescriptions for curable STDs and redirect our customers to the proper help in case of incurable STDs. No pain medication/ narcotics prescription involved. Just antibiotics. My question is how do I go about finding a physician for this business as they seem unapproachable? Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the details here. I understand you are trying to make a business.
It difficult to predict how physicians/practitioners are going to react to this propositions. But after being a physician for more than 9 years, I would say that most doctors wish to keep practices and living simply. They wish to stick to the normal routine and medical ethics. So unless your business plan doesn't go against medical ethics and state laws, it may not be difficult to narrow down doctors to work with you.
If you have all the governance and certificates that every lab has, you may try marketing XXXXXXX as well as online. It may be easier online through professional / doctor networking sites.
I hope this helps you. And all the best in your endeavour.
Regards
