Dr. Williams shares his journey from traditional fee-for-service medicine to launching his own DPC clinic, highlighting the frustrations and lack of autonomy that pushed him to embrace the Direct Primary Care model. He discusses his experience practicing rural medicine, the flexibility and improved work-life balance DPC provides, and the success of innovative services like home visits, men’s health, and 24-hour patient response. Dr. Williams also details building a patient panel from scratch in a region new to DPC and the impact of incorporating technology and a supportive team. Listeners will gain valuable insights into starting a DPC practice, overcoming contractual challenges, and redefining success as a physician. Whether you’re considering Direct Primary Care or looking to optimize your independent medical practice, this episode offers inspiration and actionable strategies for delivering better patient care and reclaiming your time as a primary care doctor.
