After over 15 years working in the traditional medicine model and seeing how women are treated, especially when dealing with sensitive subjects, our guest, Dr. Lisa Parsons, decided to be the change she wants to see in the world. She decided to open her own practice, where people could choose between concierge medicine or direct primary care, where they can feel heard, where doctors know and care about them.
