  • Changing Lives

    I’m so thankful for the impact this podcast has had on me. I have not taken the leap to open my own DPC, but that’s my dream. This podcast has helped me feel like I am not alone in this broken world of managed care. You are definitely impacting so many physician’s lives and the families and patients that love them.

    This podcast is exactly what I didn’t know I needed—it’s been the spark that’s lighting my fire to finally make the leap into Direct Primary Care. The stories are inspiring, real, and exactly the push I needed to take the plunge. Every episode feels like a pep talk from someone who’s been in the trenches and come out thriving. If you’re even thinking about DPC, this is the fuel for your journey.

  • Leading the charge and blazing a trail

    Dr. Concepcion is doing a remarkable job leading the way to a new era for primary care in the US.

    She and her guests teach and inspire others to turn primary care from a soulless, corporate loss leader to a thriving, purpose-driven, cost-saving, and health-creating practice.

    Education like this is preventing many wonderful physicians from being driven out of a once dignified profession by the complexity-by-design that defines the profit-driven health insurance and Big Hospital-led healthcare ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Strengthening Access: Lessons from Dr. Stephanie Lucero’s DPC Journey in Rural New Mexico
Q: Can you explain the pricing model of your DPC practice?
Right now I'm charging $100 a month and do not charge for home visits that are within the local area. I want to keep it affordable and not price anyone out.
Strengthening Access: Lessons from Dr. Stephanie Lucero’s DPC Journey in Rural New Mexico
Q: What do you see as the challenges of working in the fee-for-service model in New Mexico?
Burnout was largely about the inefficiency of the system. Working in that model felt like being in an abusive relationship where you are just on an assembly line, unable to provide the effective care that patients need.
Strengthening Access: Lessons from Dr. Stephanie Lucero’s DPC Journey in Rural New Mexico
Q: What was it like for you to start talking to people about this thing called Direct Primary Care?
The good thing about being from here is that I know that this place is a very small town and very word of mouth, but it was a hard sell. People didn't understand what DPC was and often confused it with concierge medicine.
Building Community and Hope: Dr. Isabel Amigues’ Path to Direct Specialty Rheumatology
Q: How does your experience in two countries impact your current practice?
Having trained in France, Amigues values continuity of care and emphasizes building rapport with patients, contrasting the US system where such connections can often be lost.
Making an Impact: Dr. Lisa Tritto’s Innovative Approach to Childhood Obesity in Direct Primary Care
Q: What would you say to pediatricians especially who are thinking about DPC?
You won't regret it, and you can still be making an impact and maybe even a more effective impact when you're seeing fewer patients.
