As he has continued to practice within the evolving landscape of system based healthcare, he has now founded the concierge based practice to maximize his ability to help empower and educate patients to navigate and advocate for themselves amidst what has become a guideline based delivery of treatment.

Knowing there’s not a one size fits all paradigm for healing, he is now able to focus his energy and time on helping patients to minimize the hurdles unrelated to treatment and well-being and to help clients ensure their focus can be on living while on their health related journeys.

It has been a minute since my wife and I watched Mad Men.
 
I still remember a few quotes, though. I recall Roger Sterling's sage marketing and business advice (above) with ease.
 
Unrelated, my wife and our close family friends recalled just last week how we found Betty, a fun character with a few quirky phrases of her own pretty memorable as well.
 
Remember when her son Bobby said, "I'm bored."
 
She replied, "Go bang your head against a wall...Only boring people are bored."
 
It was not great motherly advice, but her character was entertaining, to say the least.
 
Back on point: According to a new report published by the American Medical Association, between 2012 and 2022, the share of physicians working in private practices decreased by 13 percentage points — from 60.1% to 46.7%.
 
Additionally, Slate.com wrote, 'Doctors who run practices are essentially business owners, but many have never learned to manage a staff.'
 
Fierce Healthcare reported that 'Medical graduate students are at a disadvantage when they don't get trained on the business elements of medical practice.'
 
Finally, Harvard Business Review writes, 'Most physicians have been trained to keep emotion out of the job, and are not comfortable showing vulnerability in the workplace.'

Our special physician guest today is Dr. Tabatha Wells. Tabatha is starting her own new Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice and we caught up with her to talk about a wide range of topics. Our discussion included: 
 
DPC Start-Up Challenges and Opportunities The primary care physician shortage challenges and opportunities Gratitude in healthcare and physician burnout LGBT+ Care and more.  
Dr. Tabatha Wells obtained her medical degree from the Southern Illinois University (SIU) School of Medicine. She completed her Family and Community Medicine residency through the SIU School of Medicine and is a Board-Certified Family Physician. Dr. Wells started her Direct Primary Care practice to ensure she provides exceptional primary care without all the barriers and frustrations of traditional healthcare models. At appointments, you can expect her to take as much time as needed to understand your health needs and ensure you feel seen and heard on every visit.
 
Dr. Wells struggled with frequent illness as a child and was inspired by her pediatrician, who made doctor visits feel safe and fun. She pursued a career in medicine to give back to her community and provide that same level of care to patients in need. After many years in academic medicine, she realized a drastic change was necessary. She entered Direct Primary Care to take back control of how she practices medicine while enhancing patient access and prioritizing the patient-physician relationship.
