A Letter From Me to YouAs we close out 2025, I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you - doctor to doctor, human to human.This episode is a little different. It's a twist on 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, written as a reflection of our shared journey as physicians. It honors not only the work we do in exam rooms and inboxes, but also the quiet, unseen work that happens in kitchens, cars, call rooms, and living rooms - the places where our families, our partners, and our loved ones carry this life with us.My hope is that you'll hear pieces of your own story in this reading: the exhaustion that shows up at the end of a too-long day, the hope that never fully disappears, and the quiet, stubborn resilience that keeps you moving forward. Whether you practice Direct Primary Care or another model, the heart of what we do is human-centered medicine, and that heart beats strongest when we remember that compassion includes ourselves.This episode is my way of acknowledging the realities we juggle, the trust we're fighting to reclaim between doctor and patient, and the community that continues to grow around this movement. It's an invitation to take a breath, to feel seen, and to know you are not doing this alone.As you listen, I hope you feel warmth. I hope you feel connection and I hope you step into the new year with a little more light.With gratitude,Maryal Concepcion, MD Family Physician & MomKeywords: Direct Primary Care, physician wellness, holiday podcast, medical compassion, family, physician support, Christmas storySupport the showBe A My DPC Story PATREON MEMBER!

Get a list of 70 nontraditional jobs at nonclinicalphysicians.com/70jobs. =============== Family physician Dr. Jennifer Allen came to medicine through nursing and nurse practitioner roles before ultimately opening her own direct primary care (DPC) clinic outside the insurance system. After discovering how misaligned pricing and productivity demands were with the kind of care she wanted to deliver, she chose a membership-based model that let her work directly for patients instead of payors. Dr. Jennifer explains how she navigated contracts and non-compete concerns, designed her DPC practice around access and affordability, and later added an IV infusion lounge as a separate business to create a second, values-aligned income stream. Listeners hear what to consider if they're thinking about DPC or cash-pay services themselves—from keeping overhead lean to choosing services, partners, and protocols that fit both their ethics and their lifestyle.

This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Zwade Marshall and the final episode for a while as Dr. Disha begins a new chapter, opening her own Direct Primary Care practice. Dr. Zwade Marshall is an Emory and Harvard trained anesthesiologist, interventional pain specialist, CMO of Regenerative Spine and Pain Specialists, and co-founder and CEO of Doc2Doc Lending, a lending platform created by doctors for doctors. In this closing installment, Dr. Marshall explains what it truly means for physicians to make empowered decisions when opening, financing, and building their own practice. He shares the financial pitfalls many doctors overlook, the importance of understanding market demographics, and how tools such as Tenant Improvement Allowance and ownership-based tax benefits can significantly shape long-term wealth for private practice physicians. If you are planning to open a clinic, transition into DPC, or simply want to understand practice financing more clearly, this episode offers practical guidance that medical training rarely covers. Key Topics Covered: 1. How empowered doctors make empowered decisions Why physicians must learn to evaluate risk, financing, long-term ROI, and operational decisions with the same confidence they use in clinical care—and how that mindset shift changes everything. 2. Financing your own medical practice Understanding budget allocations, startup capital, cost projections, and what you should (and shouldn't) take on debt for when building your practice from scratch. 3. The Market Demographic Survey What a demographic report actually tells you, how it affects patient volume and payer mix, and why it's one of the most critical early steps in choosing your practice location. 4. Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA) What TIA is, how landlords use it to attract medical tenants, how much you can negotiate, and how it reduces upfront buildout costs for new practice owners. 5. Why owning your medical practice building is a long-term wealth strategy The tax benefits, equity growth, and stability that come with being your own landlord—and why many physicians only realize these advantages too late in their careers. 6. Financing (How do doctors get capital?) Especially when they don't have revenue yet. Listener Takeaways: The mindset shifts required to become an empowered, financially confident physician How to allocate budget and financing when opening a practice Why demographic surveys are essential for choosing the right location How Tenant Improvement Allowances work and how to negotiate them The long-term tax benefits and wealth advantages of owning your practice property How platforms like Doc2Doc support physicians with smarter, physician-centered lending Real-world financial advice every doctor should know before launching a private practice or DPC model Connect with Us: Host: Dr. Disha Spath, The Frugal Physician Guest: Dr. Zwade Marshall, CEO of Doc2Doc Lending This episode is brought to you by Doc2Doc Lending.

Today's episode is one of the most important conversations we've had on My DPC Story. As of July 4th, we are standing at a true inflection point for Direct Primary Care—and for every physician, employer, broker, advocate and patient who believes primary care should be personal, accessible, and free from insurance middlemen.In this special session, I'm joined by Jay Keese, Executive Director of the Direct Primary Care Coalition, who has spent more than a decade at the front lines in Washington, DC. Together, we break down what HR 1—the major tax bill signed into law this year—actually means for DPC. This includes:The historic win: HSAs are now fully compatible with Direct Primary Care for the first time ever.What patients can do starting January 1: Use tax-free HSA dollars to pay for DPC memberships without losing HSA eligibility.How this changes the landscape: New opportunities with employers, brokers, high-deductible plans, and even ACA bronze/catastrophic plans.What stays the same, what's evolving, and what rulemaking from the IRS will finalize.What's coming next: How DPC can scale responsibly and sustainably as demand accelerates.If you've ever wondered how policy actually becomes reality—or what the future of DPC looks like on a national scale—you'll want to listen closely. This episode is equal parts celebration, clarification, and a roadmap for what comes next.Learn about healthcare for your own family and about health shares today!
