Score breakdown · what drove the 39 / 100 verdict
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial instability or operational viability issues at corporate level
- 02MEDOnly 4 units in the entire system suggests extremely limited scale, unproven business model, and insufficient data for ROI validation
- 03MINORZero financial disclosure (no Item 19 average revenue/net income) prevents accurate return-on-investment assessment and is a major transparency red flag
- 04MINORHigh investment range ($105,725–$209,750) relative to system size creates disproportionate risk with minimal operational track record
- 05MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory indicates no clear expansion strategy or inability to attract new franchisees
- 06MED7% royalty fee on undisclosed revenue makes it impossible to model profitability or compare competitiveness

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a My Favorite Doctor franchise?

What do My Favorite Doctor franchise owners earn?
My Favorite Doctor does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the My Favorite Doctor FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the My Favorite Doctor FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is My Favorite Doctor's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for My Favorite Doctor (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many My Favorite Doctor franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, My Favorite Doctor has 4 total units in the United States, including 1 franchised units and 3 company-owned units. 1 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is My Favorite Doctor a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates My Favorite Doctor as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 39 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
