The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast

We sit down with Dr. Daniel Stock, the Founding Physician at PureHealth Functional Family Medicine. Dr. Stock's office is located in Noblesville, Indiana. After 18 years of being hospital-employed, Dr. Daniel Stock has opened the doors to his new functional family medicine practice. The practice is one of only two functional family medicine practices in the state of Indiana, but is the sole practice to provide care through Direct Primary Care (DPC), and without involving health insurance. As a DPC practice, PureHealth Functional Family Medicine enables patients to pay a flat, monthly fee for unlimited health care, while reserving their health insurance for specialty physician visits and hospitalizations. "I want to offer my patients all that Functional Family Medicine offers at a flat price, while also providing them care when they need it," said Dr. Daniel Stock, founding physician of PureHealth Functional Family Medicine. "The best part of functional medicine is tackling both common or acute diseases and chronic complex issues from lacerations and sore throats, to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and even Parkinson's Disease." Despite practicing for three decades, Dr. Stock has most recently learned of an innovative way of reversing Alzheimer's Disease. He says he believes that finding out all the elements that cause a person to become ill is the best way to be able to treat a chronic disease. "Whether my patient is battling the common cold, or Alzheimer's Disease, my goal is to realize and achieve 'good healthcare,' and to that, I believe in spending more time with each patient to inform them of their options, make decisions and plan out the best, next steps" said Dr. Stock. "I firmly believe most issues can be solved by lifestyle changes if caught early enough, and in an economical way. And, DPC functional medicine allows for that to occur." Dr. Stock completed his undergraduate degree at Notre Dame University, his medical degree at Indiana University, and internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis. He began practicing primary care in 1989. A founding diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology, Dr. Stock is also a diplomate of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Telemedicine has been popular for a long time and recently, we sat down with Heal's co-founder, Dr. Renee Dua to discuss the growth of her startup, HEAL. Heal is an on-demand service for doctor house calls. We talked a lot about how patients are interacting with the service, how insurance works and how technology is creating more personalized medical experiences for both Doctors and their Patients. "I created Heal after seven hours in an emergency room with my infant son," says Dr. Dua. "As a doctor and mother, I shared the frustration of anyone who's ever waited three weeks for a doctor's appointment, sat in a germ-filled waiting room, or rushed to the ER because they had no other choice. From day one, we decided three rules that we live by to this day. We had to accept insurance and keep prices affordable. Second, to fix medicine for patients, we had to fix it for doctors first. Third, to never sacrifice clinical quality for growth." 150,000 house calls in, and it seems hard to imagine a world without Heal. RESOURCES MENTIONED www.heal.com © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Today, we catch up with two of the most dynamic and unique individuals you will ever meet in healthcare. It is my pleasure to introduce you to KC Devine Raver, FNP-C and Angela Romero, Founder and Owner of Angela Romero Insurance Agency, Inc., both in Albuquerque, NM. This is part of a unique educational series by the Direct Primary Care Journal (DPC Journal), Concierge Medicine Today (CMT) and our DocPreneur Podcast on the growing trend and success of DPC-FNP clinics and their rising popularity across the U.S. since 2018 and beyond. Angela started the Angela Romero Insurance Agency, Inc. (ARIA) in 2002 and is passionate about serving her clients with the respect and attention she feels individuals deserve no matter the size of the company. For the past several years, Angela has been committed to keeping on top of the daily changes in the Health Insurance industry due to the Affordable Care Act and is ACA certified. Angela belongs to many professional organizations locally and nationally including, the Rio Grande Association of Health Underwriters (where she has served two terms as the Education chair), The National Association of Health Underwriters and Michelle Lujan Grisham's Health Care Advisory Council. She currently sits on the board of the New Mexico Insurance Nominating Committee, Office of the Superintendent and the Heart Gallery Foundation of NM. As a membership family practice, called Direct Primary Care, Well Life ABQ is able to schedule enough time with you to actually get to know you and listen to you. Instead of quickly writing a prescription or referring you to another provider, we work with you to overcome your health problems through nutrition, lifestyle, supplements and even medicine when necessary. Katherine "KC" Devine Raver is a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner. She has worked in a variety of settings. She was born and mostly raised in Albuquerque. She completed high school in Hawaii and earned her Bachelors of Nursing from the University of Hawaii. As an Army Nurse, she specialized in Pediatrics and spent most of her Army career in the Neonatal Intensive Care. She has also lived in South Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Washington, DC. She moved to Amarillo in 2013 and practiced as a Nurse Practitioner in a pediatric clinic that mostly served Medicaid and refugee patients. Having always been attracted to alternative treatment options, in 2015 she was able to join Well Life Family Medicine and start her journey into all the things Integrative Medicine has to offer. She feels that both models have something to offer. Well Life ABQ is a great option with or without insurance. Most providers have 800-900 patients on their "panel". They don't know who you are and they are so booked with appointments, they only have a few minutes to see you. Through the use of membership, Well Life ABQ is able to only have a patient panel of 300-400. That means you aren't just a number, you are a person. In addition to your regularly scheduled visits, we keep appointments (online and in-person) open for sick visits AND we can respond to questions in a timely manner. In our practice, we believe prevention is the key to lifelong health and wellness. We are committed to helping you get well, stay well and live well. It is our mission not only to heal, but to inspire and motivate our patients to embrace and follow a path leading to wellness and a healthy long life.

Today our special guest and good friend joining The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast is an innovative visioneer in the her field. We recently sat down with Dr. REBECCA JOHNSON OSEI, PSYD, ABPP. In our in-depth interview we talk about a variety of healthcare and patient-centered topics. From telehealth consultations, Physician burnout, ways Doctors and patients can work more closely together to tackle and identify mental health issues and so much more. Osei's resume includes work in adolescent treatment centers, correctional facilities, substance-abuse treatment, community mental health facilities, sex-offender treatment, crisis services and in-patient settings. Her clients have included those with dual-diagnoses, severe and persistent mental health disorders, co-occurring legal and social issues, substance abuse, and victims of trauma and abuse. In these various settings her primary responsibilities have included providing individual therapy, group therapy, assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, family therapy, and couples counseling. Dr. Osei has harnessed her diverse mental health background to become the premiere provider of concierge and VIP psychotherapy in Atlanta. Dr. Osei is a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist (ABPP) and holds an active Georgia Psychologist License (# PSY003736). After graduating summa cum laude with degrees in Psychology, English and Biology from the University of Massachusetts, Dr. Osei completed her M.A. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology. She has worked in a number of diverse treatment settings, with clients from all walks of life. From homeless veterans to public figures, Dr. Osei has assisted clients in shaping the next stages of their lives while coping with complex mental and emotional issues.

Today's topic is timely. Plain and simple. "We prescribe and ship emergency Med Kits, with the same Rx and OTC medications doctors like me carry for personal emergencies," says Dr. Jack. "We prescribe meds now, before you need them." Our guest and friend on The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast is Benjamin Jack, MD. He's the Founder of Duration Health and an Emergency Physician. "As an emergency medicine physician, I have always kept an emergency kit that includes a unique collection of supplies," said Dr. Jack. "Because of my access to specialized equipment and medications, and the training necessary to deploy them in difficult situations, I'm prepared to care for myself and others when regular healthcare is unavailable." Not every Patient has access to a Physician. We understand that. The "Medical Kit" Dr. Jack and his team have created fills in a gap left for many Patients. "Duration Health mixes telemedicine with a survivalist mindset to sell medical go-bags — basic prescription drugs someone might need while traveling or trapped at home." —Axios The Medical Kit includes: You have unlimited email access that goes directly to a remote emergency physician; Your customized package of medications will be delivered straight to your home; delivered straight to your home Medication Guide; In addition to our robust online guide, your Med Kit also includes a printed field manual; Physician Online Consultation - Duration Health reviews your emergency preparedness plans in a 30-minute one-on-one with an emergency physician and more. "This preparation has always given me a certain confidence in facing unforeseen circumstances, whether it be at home, travel abroad, or while enjoying outdoor activities like camping, climbing and hiking." "I founded Duration Health to bring this same level of comprehensive medical preparedness to my patients, and to provide free and open access to core medical knowledge required in emergencies." "Duration Health helps you stay safe with medications, knowledge and support to face a range of urgent medical situations, when regular care is unavailable. We're on a mission to legitimize and democratize access to emergency medical care for all those who need it."

Today we sit down with a trusted Physician and faithful friend, Dr. Susan Wilder. Preparing for Surgery is something Doctor's often provide patients a document and checklist for. But there's more to it than that. A lot more as Dr. Wilder explains. "After losing a loved one to preventable surgery complications, the habits embedded through this course have the potential to positively impact health for life," says Dr. Wilder. "Don't Face Surgery Unprepared!" Dr. Susan Wilder is Family Physician Certified in Functional Medicine and she's passionate about PREVENTION and helping her Patients, especially if they're about to have surgery. "Sadly, our medical system achieves the poorest overall health results in the developed world, at the highest cost, because we focus on rescue over prevention. How often do each of us take our health for granted … until it fails? Undergoing surgery when I was a holy mess was disastrous. I suffered significant brain fog and chronic memory issues after surgery because I didn't realize - even as a physician, my genetics, my diet, medications, sleep habits and lack of healthy stress management significantly impaired my ability to clear drugs like anesthetics and pain medications." Surgery is a risky undertaking too often taken without much thought or preparation. "In a standard preoperative clearance, we might do a quick physical and run a few tests to clear you to undergo surgery – none of which have proven to reduce your risk of complications or improve your likelihood of recovery. Luckily, you have more control than you think over your state of health, mind, body, spirit, heading into surgery and how smooth and quick your recovery." In 6 simple modules, this program takes patients step-by-step through enlightening & inspiring a personal action plan to cruise smoothly through the finish line, recover quickly, and heal beautifully. Patients and Physicians are invited to watch this video Dr. Wilder and her team have created for you to learn more about the importance of preparing for surgeries, and the dangers of entering a surgery unprepared. "I guarantee, treasuring your health need not be difficult, boring, or full of sacrifice. Small steps over time create massive impact. What have you got to lose? You can see results in even a few weeks of concerted effort. So… Can I really help YOU? I truly feel I can." So if you know someone facing elective surgery, with at least 2 weeks of lead time, please direct them to: https://www.optimizesurgery.com/ Affiliate opportunities available at: https://www.optimizesurgery.com/partners RESOURCES MENTIONED https://www.optimizesurgery.com/ https://www.optimizesurgery.com/partners www.lifescapepremier.com www.facebook.com/LifeScapePremier www.instagram.com/lifescapepremieraz/ © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

This is one of our all-time, top five favorite interviews we're so pleased to share FOR DOCTORS. Not to long ago we caught up with Dr. Ernest Brown, Founder of Doctors to You™. Doctors to You™ is a premier house call service that's proudly treated the DC, Maryland, and Virginia areas for over a decade. They're house call doctors with a passion for bringing quality healthcare right to your front door. Location: Washington D.C. Metro Area A Passion for Caring As a medical student at Howard University, Dr. Ernest Brown originally sought to become an emergency medicine physician. However, by fate or circumstance, during a third year clerkship, he was mentored by one of the foremost house call doctors in the country. This defining moment led Dr. Brown to realize that healthcare didn't have to happen in a box. Soon, Brown was focusing all of his training on a novel concept: house call services for the elderly, the disabled, and anyone else who needed them. His reasoning was simple. It didn't make any sense to just sit back and watch as patients and doctors alike struggled through a failing healthcare system, if there was something that could be done about it. He realized that, far too often, patients are treated as little more than commodities-- pawns moved and prodded only to fill big industry's fur-lined pockets. In 2015, Brown founded Doctors to You™ with one goal: breaking healthcare's barriers and bringing medicine back to its roots. He wanted to empower the patient, and reassure the physician. He wanted to show that healthcare should be for the people, and by the people-- not the 1%. More than anything, he wanted to inspire a movement. He wanted to put care back into the hands of those who really cared, and provide an environment where patients could be serviced without clutching their wallets. He wanted to make medicine what it was always meant to be.

Doctors to You will provide expert, and highly accessible house call doctors to residents of the Washington, D.C. metro, guests of hospitality providers (hotels, restaurants), customers of event management firms and clients of personal services firms (for executives, celebrities and VIPs). "A native Washingtonian and house call doctor, I greatly enjoy providing traditional house calls to fellow Washingtonians, businesses, travelers, diplomats, celebrities, entertainers, and other VIPS in the Washington Metro area. I have a distinctive and patient-centric vision of how house calls should be practiced and have spent the last 9 years bringing that vision to life. I believe the practice of house calls should be a combination of four key philosophies: * Treating the whole patient, not just the symptoms; * Being on call in order to minimize or eliminate lengthy wait times; * Delivering services on site rather than making the patient travel to receive medical care; and, * Building continuous relationship vs. handling transactions. In a world of telemedicine and minute clinics, I provide comprehensive and effective care directly to patients that is unparalleled to any other service."
