Customer Reviews
Great vibes!
I love the personalities of Dr. Renee and Dr. Nii. I love how they feed off of each other and make not just listening to the podcast fun (I first listened on Apple Podcast) but also watching it is fun, too. I’m not a doctor, so not the target market by any means, but I am an official subscriber now simply because I enjoy the vibes and even the information they provide can be applied outside of the doctor niche.
Amazing show!
Great show with awesome guests that showcase unorthodox/non-traditional ways healthcare providers can make other revenues of income, follow their passions, and still help the communities in which they serve.
Great for pre-meds
I was trying to find out more about non-traditional physicians and this podcast has gone above and beyond my expectations in giving info and being relatable. So good!
