Grace Torres-Hodges, DPM, MBA is passionate about the Direct Care movement as it saved her from giving up on a profession that she respected and was so honored to serve in. Her mission these days is to first serve my patients and secondly educate others on how to save the individual physician private practice. Dr. Torres-Hodges is a board certified podiatric physician and surgeon who started Torres Hodges Podiatry, in 2001 and transitioned to a 100% direct care specialty practice in 2017. She went into medicine to treat patients, and believes that anything that gets between doctors and their ability to do that for their patient is part of the problem. She also co-founded D2PMedicus Consulting, to educate and coach physicians as they change their perspectives and transition out of a broken healthcare system.
