In episode 171 of the "My DPC Story Podcast," host Dr. Maryal Concepcion interviews Dr. Jeffrey Shukhman. Dr. Shukhman shares his insights on transitioning from the corporate medical system to Direct Primary Care (DPC). Emphasizing patient care over administrative burdens, he explains how DPC allows for more personalized, creative, and enjoyable medical practice. Dr. Shukhman discusses his minimalist approach with only one medical assistant, while collaborating with various consultants without profiting from them. He details the development of his practice, "White Olive Direct Primary Care," including branding and website strategy. Highlighting alternative treatments like IV therapy and PRP, Dr. Shukhman stresses the importance of evidence-based care. He also touches on financial planning, patient growth through social media, and word-of-mouth referrals. Both doctors discuss the flexibility of DPC, the impact on work-life balance, and the challenges of running a practice. They offer valuable advice for physicians considering a switch to DPC, encouraging the exploration of this rewarding model. Tune in for an inspiring look at how DPC can revolutionize healthcare, bringing joy back to the practice of medicine. Don't miss the exclusive content and DPC news on My DPC Story Patreon Community!
