Ep 3: How To Start A DPC With Dr. Melissa Boylan

Voices of Women Physicians

A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Dr. Melissa Boylan has been in practice as a family physician in Columbia, SC for the past 11 years. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame, Georgetown University School of Medicine, and the Palmetto Health Family Medicine Residency program. She worked in a hospital-owned practice for 9 years until she came to her senses and opened her own direct primary care office – Noreta Family Medicine - in July 2020. Her goal is to provide high quality medical care for her patients using a business model that reintroduces transparency, accessibility, and personalized service to our broken healthcare system.

In this week’s episode, we discussed how to start your own direct primary care practice and learned useful information about making the journey easier.
