A family physician by training, he attended the University of Massachusetts Medical School. After completing his residency in Arizona, he moved back home to Massachusetts and worked for the North Shore Physicians Group. Jeff was continuously frustrated with the traditional system and with a passion for improving care deliver and patient experience he launched Gold Direct Care. Success Quote: “If opportunity doesn't knock build a door.” - Milton Berle White Coat to Business Suit: Jeff never saw himself as an entrepreneur, but grew up in small retail business family and was inspired by his parents and grandparents. Jeff completed his residency training in family medicine and joined a traditional primary care practice after graduation. During his work in the traditional system he saw the role of doctors as assembly line worker with limitations to perform their greatest skills of creative problem solve and building strong patient-doctor relationships. Jeff was frustrated with the current system and decided to launch Gold Direct Care! Why Direct Primary Care (DPC)? Traditional system of primary care is complex with increased demands on coding and shorter visit times. Direct primary care lets you build a high quality practice with simple payment, longer visit times, and better doctor-patient relationships. Advice for launching DPC practice: Physicians are not well training in the business of medicine. Surround yourself with people who you trust and can provide complementary skills and knowledge. Admit when you don't know something. You must have your WHY but you might need help with the HOW! Build two models scenarios when you are getting started:  Your Best & Worst case scenarios. If it does not work out... You will always have a JOB. DPC Big Insights: Insurance does not mean healthcare. A large portion of healthcare is expensive, but not primary care. Healthcare economics is complex and the goal should be to find simple solutions to complex problems. DPC has a strong “heart beat” and will require a ground up approach for success.
