Between the Doctors

Join our discussion featuring my partner and colleague, Dr.Manuj Agarwal. We’ve spent years working to expand access to innovative prostate cancer treatments and improve outcomes for patients across the country. In this episode, we talk about where we’ve been, where we’re headed and what the future of prostate cancer care could look like.

Dr. Agarwal also brings a unique perspective through Blue Wellth, his longevity and preventive medicine practice, with a focus on helping patients live longer, healthier lives—including a proactive approach to prostate health.

What happens when you combine physics, medicine, technology—and a lot of responsibility?

Dr. Ajay Bhatnagar talks with Alfonse Loper, medical physicist, about the critical role physicists play in radiation oncology.

From calibrating equipment and verifying radiation doses to treatment planning, safety and quality assurance, medical physicists help make sure the treatment a patient is supposed to receive is actually the treatment they receive.

...and then there's AI.

That’s the focus of Episode 5 of Between the Doctors.

In this special episode, I’m joined by Dr. Richard Smith, a former boss, colleague and friend, and Donnie Stefero, a longtime medical sales professional.

Both have experienced the healthcare system from the other side of the exam room—and their stories offer very different perspectives on diagnosis, treatment and what it means to become a patient.

For me, these conversations are a reminder that sometimes the most important lessons in medicine come from experiencing it firsthand.

What really happens behind the scenes of running a medical practice?

In this episode of Between the Doctors, Dr. Ajay Bhatnagar sits down with Dr. Sameer Keole, a nationally recognized leader in radiation oncology and current Chairman of the Board of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).

Together, they take a candid look at the business side of medicine—from physician reimbursement and payment models to healthcare policy and the forces shaping the future of medical practice.

It’s an honest conversation about the challenges physicians face beyond the exam room—and the opportunities to build a better future for both doctors and their patients.

What if mental health care felt less like a clinical appointment and more like a personalized partnership designed around your life?

In this episode of Between the Doctors, Dr. Ajay Bhatnagar sits down with Dr. Mona Amini, MD, MBA, a board-certified psychiatrist who is redefining what modern psychiatric care can look like. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Amini has built a private practice centered on personalized, relationship-driven care that combines evidence-based medicine with a deep understanding of each patient's unique goals, lifestyle, and aspirations.

Drawing from years of clinical and administrative experience in mental health, Dr. Amini shares why empathy, attention to detail, and genuine human connection are at the heart of effective treatment. She discusses her innovative mental wellness membership model, how she integrates medication management, laboratory evaluation, and lifestyle optimization into comprehensive care, and why investing in long-term mental wellness can transform every aspect of a person's life.

Together, Dr. Bhatnagar and Dr. Amini explore the evolving landscape of psychiatry, breaking down common misconceptions about mental health treatment while highlighting the importance of individualized care, trust, and treating the whole person—not just the diagnosis.

Whether you're curious about modern psychiatry, considering seeking help yourself, or simply interested in how medicine is evolving to better serve patients, this conversation offers valuable insights into what compassionate, personalized mental health care can truly look like.

In this episode of Between the Docs, we’re bringing together two accomplished urologists who are redefining what it means to care for men’s health.

Dr. Amar Patel and Dr. Joel Abbott have each built successful independent practices while remaining deeply committed to patient-centered care, innovation, and improving outcomes for the men they serve.

For Dr. Patel, the mission is personal. Losing his father—a physician himself—to prostate cancer shaped his path in medicine and inspired a career dedicated to helping patients navigate diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.

Together, we explore the current state of prostate cancer care, the importance of informed decision-making, and how physicians can continue to evolve alongside the changing landscape of men’s health.

Join us for an insightful conversation about the challenges, opportunities, and future of caring for men at every stage of life.

Together, they share an honest conversation about the realities of building and leading healthcare practices, balancing family and business, navigating change, and embracing entrepreneurship in medicine.
