Ep. 074 - Fighting for Autonomy, Accessibility, & Elimination of Non-Compete Clauses - Dr. Marcelo Hochman of Facial Surgery Center
Today's guest, Dr. Marcelo Hochman, Physician and Owner of Facial Surgery Center in Charleston, SC and President of the Independent Doctors of South Carolina, joins us for a riveting discussion on how the current corporatization of medicine isn't what's best for doctors, patients, and their families. Dr. Hochman and his colleagues have been working with state legislators to repeal the state's Certificate of Need statute and for the elimination of hospitals' Non-Compete Clauses, so that patients can have greater access to privatized healthcare, fair and competitive pricing, and high-quality care. Dr. Marcelo Hochman is the premier facial plastic/reconstructive surgeon in South Carolina, whose practice features a unique blend of adult and pediatric, elective/reconstructive, pro-bono, insured, and self-pay services. He's engaged in medical publication, legislative activities, and educational opportunities for students and residents, all of which are unusual in private practice. He sees his platform as helpful in promoting the independence of physicians in SC and he wants to lead the comeback of the doctor/patient relationship.
