CASE STUDY
Dr. Arthur Fillmore
Place of Employment : Fillmore Family Medicine
Specialties : Family Medicine, Internal Medicine & Preventative Medicine
Family Physician Ready to Retire
With over 30 years of experience in family medicine, Dr. Arthur Fillmore began his career at a joint practice from 1989-1999 and successfully opened his own private practice, Fillmore Family Medicine, shortly thereafter. In 2015, his oldest daughter joined him at FFM, bringing peace of mind in knowing the family business would be left in good hands.
Dr. Fillmore came to Physician Financial Planning with a clear-cut goal to work three more years before stepping down for good. We prepared a plan for him to solidify his investment portfolio with low-maintenance, high-payout investments like commercial rental properties, and assisted him in budgeting for his retirement years without missing out on any of his accustomed living expenses.
