Breaking Away From Traditional Primary Care to Start a Concierge Medical Practice

When you’re miserable or not satisfied with your traditional primary care position at a major hospital, it’s time for a big change to live your best life and values. Focus on your future goals and dreams.

In this episode of the Finance For Physicians Podcast, Daniel Wrenne talks to Drs. Cady and Ryan Brown, who started their own concierge medical practice, Downtown Drs. Brown, located in Lexington, Kentucky.    

Topics Discussed:

• Cady and Ryan’s concierge medical practice and career progression
• Primary Care Patient Load: From honeymoon period to fast track to burning out
• PTO Requirements: Physicians not valued as people, professionals in practice
• Reassurance and Education: Patients need to know if things are okay or not
• How and why Cady and Ryan created concierge medical practice from scratch
• Tradeoff: More security, less setup work for autonomy, independence, finances
• Competition: Not many concierge medical practices, but demand definitely exists
• Pressures/Stressors: Different now, feels better being in control of own destiny
