A few months ago, my colleague and friend Dr. Krystal Revai Sodaitis introduced me to a community called SoMeDocs, founded by Dr. Dana Corriel. I didn’t quite know what to expect when I joined. Another online group, I thought. But what I found was something deeper: a thriving hub of creativity, mentorship, and genuine human connection in medicine.
As a therapist and clinical coach for physicians, I’ve spent years supporting doctors who often feel isolated by the demands of their profession. I understand their struggles well, yet I’ve always found it challenging to reach them in ways that truly matter. When Dr. Revai Sodaitis described SoMeDocs as a place where physicians and healthcare professionals come together to connect, collaborate, and grow, I was intrigued. I joined hoping to find collaboration; instead, I found a community.
My friendship with Dr. Revai Sodaitis began a bit earlier, when we collaborated on a course for physicians. She is a pediatrician, healthcare executive, and coach who founded Neurodiverse Docs, a platform that brings awareness and compassion to the intersection of neurodiversity and medicine. We became monthly accountability partners, cheering each other on through projects and challenges. More recently, we’ve been co-developing a course called From Physician to Coach, which continues to inspire both of us.
SoMeDocs exists to make real doctors harder to ignore. In today’s unpredictable healthcare system, we promote individual physician voices, support professional independence, build educational communities behind the scenes, and create the kind of networking medicine desperately needs.
One of the most touching moments in our collaboration came when she interviewed my mother for her blog, exploring creativity and memory through a neurological lens. It was such a generous act, perfectly reflecting her curiosity and empathy. So when she encouraged me to join SoMeDocs, I trusted her instinct completely.
Within weeks of joining, SoMeDocs featured my coaching profile in their magazine and published my first article, Humility vs. Self-Promotion: The Viral LinkedIn Post That Sparked a Conversation. Not long after, Dr. Revai Sodaitis shared a heartfelt endorsement of my work on LinkedIn, an unexpected gift that reminded me just how powerful professional kindness can be.
But what has truly impressed me about SoMeDocs is how naturally collaboration happens there. In the group’s LinkedIn community, I connected with countless physicians who uplift each other’s voices and ideas. Several reached out personally to explore joint projects, and each conversation felt easy, genuine, and full of possibility.
Through the network, I was also invited to join the SoMeDocs SCC Faculty, contributing to conferences that explore private practice, entrepreneurship, social media, and leadership in healthcare. At my first event, Mastering Private Practice, I participated in a video project called The Thank-You Effect, where members expressed gratitude to colleagues who had made an impact. I took the opportunity to thank Dr. Revai Sodaitis for introducing me to this community—and for her constant generosity of spirit.
During that same conference, I led a networking discussion that brought together professionals from across specialties. What struck me most was how willing everyone was to share insights and lift each other up. It wasn’t competition—it was collaboration in its purest form.
Soon after, another member, Dr. Tiffany Troso-Sandoval, a medical oncologist and cancer coach, reached out with an idea for a co-authored piece on why patients often call after visits. Writing together allowed us to blend our perspectives and deepen the message. When our article was accepted by KevinMD and we were later invited to appear on his podcast, it felt like a shared win. Proof that collaboration multiplies impact.
The internet is full of health noise. SoMeDocs brings doctors and patients closer to real experts, timely education, meaningful connection, and CME-worthy learning.

At the heart of it all is Dr. Dana Corriel, SoMeDocs’ founder and visionary leader. During my first one-on-one session with her, she offered thoughtful insights on how to use the network effectively and find meaningful partnerships. Her enthusiasm for helping others shine is contagious. I’ve since participated in her monthly consultation hours—dynamic, interactive sessions that guide members through building their digital presence and creative projects.
Recently, Dr. Corriel invited me to serve as a SoMeDocs ambassador, a role that allows me to share my experiences and encourage others to join. It’s a full-circle moment that reminds me how much can change in just one month when good people come together with open hearts.
One month on SoMeDocs has shown me that good humans and good deeds in medicine are contagious. The generosity, mentorship, and support I’ve experienced have reinforced something I’ve always believed: real growth happens through authentic connection.
I’m grateful to be part of a community where clinicians lift each other up, share ideas freely, and celebrate one another’s successes. In a world where so much of healthcare feels transactional, this space feels deeply human.
