Rf41Great Educational DPC EducationThis podcast has been an absolute game-changer as I explore DPC as an exciting alternative for delivering primary care! I can’t recommend it enough to any doctors thinking about making the leap into this innovative model. It's a must-listen!
-
LewellisMDLeading the charge and blazing a trailDr. Concepcion is doing a remarkable job leading the way to a new era for primary care in the US. She and her guests teach and inspire others to turn primary care from a soulless, corporate loss leader to a thriving, purpose-driven, cost-saving, and health-creating practice. Education like this is preventing many wonderful physicians from being driven out of a once dignified profession by the complexity-by-design that defines the profit-driven health insurance and Big Hospital-led healthcare system of the last few decades. Great job and thank you!
-
Jumping with JessHighly recommended podcastJust started at a DPC practice and feel like I need to get caught up to speed about all the revolution is doing across the nation. I am so glad that Maryal created this podcast to do deep dives into success stories, the history, and ways to get involved with the DPC movement! Thank you for what you’re doing for those of us who want to continue the success of the model 🙏🏻
-
soniasinghmdSo inspiringWould probably never had made the leap to direct primary care if not for Maryal’s podcast and hearing so many other doctors share their journeys. If you are a burned out PCP you NEED to start listening to convince yourself that an alternative path IS out there. Kudos Maryal!
-
treari16Thank you!!!!This podcast is easy to listen too, entertaining, and informative. There is not another source of content out there that better delivers guests/interviews that prep you for the journey of becoming the owner of your DPC practice.

Medicina1234So much helpful informationI’ve learned so much about starting a dpc practice just in a week of listening. I definitely recommend everyone in the dpc community to listen.
-
mobilemommdInspirational, TransformativeI started listening to this podcast shortly after finding out about the DPC movement. As a pediatrician I never imagined a cash based insurance free practice style could possibly work for me, until I discovered many pediatricians are out there doing it right now. I listened to their stories in this podcast, read books, and joined FB groups and learned as much as I could about DPC. I knew this was what I had to do. And now I’m doing it! This podcast was a huge part of it. My DPC Story truly transformed my career!
-

haralph2Inspiring!!!I’ve read and heard about this podcast from multiple primary care docs and had to check it out for myself. Now I’m hooked. I’m binging episodes on my commute and so many stories resonate with me. I’ve had goosebumps and tears hearing about practicing the medicine the way it should be. I finally feel like this is an option for me and my family and I’m excited to start this journey. Thank you to everyone who shared their story and offered mentorship to newbies! Let’s take back medicine!
-
DiziemWonderful!No better way to hear all the DPC stories out there. I’m constantly inspired and encouraged as I recognize myself in some of the stories and experiences shared. Hoping to utilize all this information as I look forward to starting my own DPC in Fall of 2024

DrDominiqueAmazingI decided to open my own dpc several months ago but had some imposter syndrome/ noncompete struggles. This podcast has been amazingly helpful in hearing what other direct care doctors are doing and providing hope to physicians with so many different practice styles and models.
-
aNYRedSoxFanTHE Must Listen DPC PodcastThe essential podcast if you’re a physician who’s done with our broken system and looking for a way out through DPC. We learn so much through stories and if this podcast was around before I opened my own DPC practice I guarantee I would have devoured every episode with pencil and paper in hand. So much wisdom, so many tips and tricks, and just chock full of inspiration and helpful info in every episode here. Like and follow, fellow physicians… be inspired …. We CAN change healthcare together!
-
Dr. K. StoneConquer your fears… my DPC Story lights the way!Thank you to Dr. Maryal Concepcion for providing such a valuable resource to us in the DPC community. Listening to interviews of other stars in different stages of their DPC story is motivating and quite applicable to anyone interested in getting out of the fee-for-service system. I find the more I listen, the more insight I gain on starting and growing my practice. I was extremely excited to hear the interview of my prior medical school advisor Dr. Matthew Mintz! seeing someone so genuine decide the path to better healthcare is through direct primary care, enabled me to take the steps in starting my own DPC practice in Denver, Colorado. I am hoping to open doors this fall, and have found each episode invaluable thus far. Thank you to all involved!
-
Victoria L-SGreat resource!Listening to the My DPC Story podcast gave me the extra courage and motivation I needed to open my own DPC practice six months ago. I look forward to each new episode, and I continue to enjoy revisiting past episodes for all of the valuable gems. As I grow my practice, the content is more valuable than ever! Thank you to Dr. Maryal Concepcion, and to all of the guests who share their stories. Truly inspiring!

Jake MutchThe DPC podcast you’ve been looking forMaryal’s podcast is where I direct people who are hungry for definitive information about DPC. Having interviewed so many DPC docs, Maryal now has this interesting vantage point as a host that allows her to ask insightful and probing questions about each doctor’s unique twist on the common issues we all face. Her guests really get to expand their stories over a long-form conversation, but still in an approachable, digestible way. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the DPC movement and the people in it. I love this podcast. It’s a fresh perspective, and a must-listen.
-
doug farragoMaryal is awesomeI love the show and I love Maryal. It’s nice to see someone who is so passionate about a subject. I think she works extremely hard to improve on her own skills and that is showing each and every episode. She’s great at what she does and if anybody’s interested in direct primary care then they must listen to this podcast.
-
Earth Ranger ThatcherExcellent perspectiveFor those considering DPC as an alternative to the rat race of insurance driven healthcare, this is a fantastic resource full of inspiration & reality. Maryal has a genuine enthusiasm for the movement & a desire to get the word out to all physicians that there is a healthy alternative to burn out.
-
Ryan HunleyThe Absolute BEST DPC podcastI highly recommend this podcast to anyone with even the slightest bit of curiosity on what it would be like to start a DPC practice. Dr. Concepcion, the host of the podcast, does an excellent job asking the tough questions on how and why the interviewees practices were started. Every podcast you will learn something new. The interviews are excellent, each with a different perspective. If you are not listening to this podcast, you are absolutely missing out. 5/5 all day!
