    No Insurance, No Staff, No Problem: Building a Boutique Fertility Practice from Scratch

    When Dr. Carolina Sueldo moved back to South Florida with two kids under three and started looking for a new job, she discovered that almost every major fertility practice in the area had been swallowed up by private equity. So she did something most people told her was flat-out crazy: she started her own. No investors. No insurance contracts. No staff on day one — her medical assistant quit via email the night before opening. Just her, a virtual assistant in Argentina, and a deep belief that she could practice medicine on her own terms. In this episode of Super Doc Stories, Dr. Sueldo, founder of Sabo Fertility Center in Fort Lauderdale, shares one of the most honest and practical origin stories we've heard. She talks through what it actually looks like to go from googling "where do I buy an exam table" to paying back your startup costs and pulling a six-figure salary all in year one — and what the sleepless nights, WTF moments, and unexpected credit card scams in between taught her. We cover: Why private equity was a non-starter for her — and what the PE model actually does to a medical practiceThe moment around month six when she finally thought, "I think there's something here"Going cash-pay and out-of-network in a market that had never really seen it before — and how she got patients anywayWhy zero marketing budget forced her to do the highest-ROI marketing possible: Google reviews and in-person referral relationshipsThe credit card chargeback scam that cost her thousands in year one and the systems she built because of itThe village behind Sabo — including a shoutout to Dr. Amy Avazadeh, the Egg WhispererThe mindset shift that took 18 months to arrive: getting comfortable with being uncomfortableWhat she would tell her 2023 self: trust your gut, be selective about who you share your vision with, and don't listen to the people waiting for you to failThe integrative, whole-person approach to fertility that she could never practice inside a productivity-driven employed model Whether you're thinking about starting your own practice, wondering if direct care can actually work financially, or just want a refreshingly honest take on physician entrepreneurship — this one's for you. 🌐 Visit Sabo Fertility Center: sabofertilitycenter.com 📲 Follow Dr. Carolina Sueldo on Instagram: @dr.carolinasueldo Subscribe to Super Doc Stories for weekly conversations with physician entrepreneurs building something bigger.

    From the Frontlines to Fillers: the truth about aesthetic medicine no one tells you

    What happens when an internist who spent years on COVID frontlines and served in the military finally decides to open the business he'd been dreaming about for a decade — only to find out he has to launch it from a hotel room in Lima, Peru? That's exactly the story of Dr. Furhan Qureshi, founder of Noor Aesthetic Center in Northern Virginia, and this episode of Super Doc Stories does not disappoint. Dr. Q pulls zero punches as he walks us through one of the wildest origin stories we've heard yet — from a last-minute deployment pivot that took him from Ecuador to Peru (for classified reasons!), to the harsh reality check of opening a cash-pay med spa and realizing patients don't just show up like they do in the ER. He opens up about burning through marketing agencies, getting played by vanity metrics, discovering kickback schemes hidden in plain sight, and learning to compete against health coaches with no credentials, perfect teeth, and millions of followers. In this episode, we cover: How Dr. Q launched his entire business plan from military deployment in LimaThe brutal truth about marketing agencies and why most of them are selling you clicks, not patientsWhy aesthetics may be the least regulated field in medicine — and what that means for patientsPhysicians vs. health coaches: who's winning the wellness war and whyJoe Rogan, plasmapheresis, and "oil changes for your body" — a physician reactsThe peptide Wild West and why doctors need to stop staying quietLong-form content vs. short-form: Dr. Q's evolving strategy for showing up onlineWhy your MD matters more than you think — just not in the moment you think it doesAI in medicine: seeing 15 patients by 10am and finishing notes by 11Why longevity medicine is the future of cash-pay practicesWhether you're a physician thinking about opening your own practice, frustrated by health misinformation online, or just want to hear a truly wild entrepreneurial origin story — this one's for you. 🌐 Visit Noor Aesthetic Center: glowwithnoor.com 📲 Follow Dr. Q: @NoorEsthetiqueWC | @FurhanQureshiMD

    Integrating Food Literacy into Medicine with Akshita Mehta

    What if the food you eat every day is slowly working against you — and your doctor has no idea how to help? In this episode of Super Doc Stories, Dr. Marissa Caudill sits down with Dr. Akshita Mehta — neuroradiologist, double board-certified lifestyle medicine physician, and founder of Dive Into Health MD — to talk about what happens when a doctor gets tired of treating the same preventable diseases over and over again and decides to go upstream. After years of reading scans showing chronic inflammation, heart disease, and metabolic illness, Akshita made it her mission to tackle the root cause: our broken food system. She's now producing a groundbreaking episode-based docu-series that pulls back the curtain on what's really in your food — from chicken and honey to olive oil and water — and how to source it in a way that actually supports your health. In this episode, we cover: • Why most physicians get zero nutrition training — and why that has to change • How Akshita went from neuroradiology + fellowship + a newborn to launching a food literacy company • The docu-series How to Eat — and why it's not another diet documentary • Practical tips you can use TODAY: what to look for on your olive oil bottle, why you should never put honey in boiling water, and how to subscription-box your way to better chicken • The real first-year entrepreneurial experience: the sacrifices, the opportunity cost, and why she'd do it all again • Why building a passion project while staying clinical is hard — and completely worth it Whether you're a physician entrepreneur thinking about your next move, a parent trying to feed your family better, or someone who's just tired of not knowing what's actually in your food — this conversation is for you. 🎬 Watch the Dive Into Health MD trailer (How to Eat): YouTube → Dive Into Health MD channel 📲 Follow Dr. Akshita Mehta: Instagram @DiveIntoHealthMD 📧 Get her free ingredient sourcing guide: hello@diveintohealthmd.com 🎙️ Want to be a guest on her podcast?
