I’ve escaped the handcuffs of the employed physician model and am building a successful independent dermatology practice and brand from the ground up. I share my experience on both sides of the coin and build my brand in public so others can learn and be inspired. Whether it’s through conferences, local news outlets, or my podcast, The Direct Care Derm, I’m committed to serving fellow physicians who know it doesn’t have to be this way but don’t quite know how to make that a reality.
