Sutliff Gary Dean MD

Sutliff Gary Dean MD operates a solo primary care practice in Newark, Ohio, delivering family medicine services to insured and uninsured patients. The practice generates revenue through fee-for-service visits, insurance reimbursements, and cash‑pay discounts for uninsured individuals, emphasizing transparent pricing and affordability. Located on Main Street in a small‑city setting, the clinic serves the Newark community and surrounding Licking County residents, positioning itself as a local, independent provider rather than part of a regional chain. With an estimated 1‑5 employees (including the physician, medical assistants, and administrative staff), the practice is small enough that benefits decisions are made directly by Dr. Sutliff as owner‑physician. Implementing the Employee Benefits Program would yield annual savings of approximately $1,190 per W‑2 employee; assuming a mid‑point of three employees, that equals about $3,570 in yearly tax‑credit savings, recurring each month. For a practice focused on controlling costs while offering competitive compensation, these savings could be redirected toward staff wages, continuing education, or enhanced patient‑care resources, directly supporting retention in a tight local labor market. Moreover, offering a robust benefits package aligns with the practice’s mission of accessible, affordable healthcare, helping to attract and keep qualified clinical staff who might otherwise be drawn to larger health systems with more generous benefits.
