Chesterfield receives many referrals for surgery from his family practice partners. Upon the partnership’s original formation, the three doctors agreed to a two-part formula to share income.

In 2010, three dentists-Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker-formed a partnership to open a practice in Toledo, Ohio.

Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan, constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
