In this re-release episode, we sit down with Dr. Nemil Shah, physician and co-founder of ApproXie Urgent Care, to revisit one of our most inspiring conversations to date. Dr. Shah shares his journey from growing up in Huntsville to building one of the area’s most innovative healthcare brands—starting with a buggy app idea, $5,000 in the bank, and a leased former Dairy Queen.
We dive into how ApproXie began as a software solution to reduce patient wait times, how he and his wife bootstrapped their first clinic, and how a commitment to service, speed, and patient experience helped them grow to three locations across Madison County. Dr. Shah also talks about the challenges of entrepreneurship in healthcare, building internal talent, and why Huntsville continues to be the perfect place for innovation and impact.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to start something from scratch—especially in an industry as complex as healthcare—this episode is for you.
