Dr. R. Michelle Koolaee is a board-certified rheumatologist with over 12 years of experience in academic and multi-specialty practices across Los Angeles. In 2025, she opened a direct care rheumatology practice in Pasadena to move beyond the constraints of 15-minute visits and provide patients with more time, access, and personalized care. She now shares her journey to help other physicians explore and implement the direct care model.
