- Dr. Dana Corriel: Inside SoMeDocs
Dr. Dana Corriel, Board-Certified Internist and Founder of SoMe Docs (Doctors on Social Media), joins Mimi Banks and Dr. Dustin Portela to unpack how she turned burnout and a mid-career break into a full-blown platform for physician visibility. They dig into the free physician directory built like "a modeling agency for brains," why not every doctor needs to be an influencer, and the messy, personal journey of giving herself permission to step outside clinical medicine. It's a candid look at community-building, PR for physicians, and why the healthcare field needs its own kind of cheerleader.

Dr. Chris Tomassian posted his first dermatology video in a poorly lit bathroom and got four views. Today, he has nearly 3 million followers, and a thriving practice built on the back of it. Dr. Tomassian, founder of the Dermatology Collective, joins Dr. Dustin Portela and Mimi Banks to share how he turned raw, unscripted content into a brand bigger than the feed. From surviving pushback in residency to using social proof to open his own practice (with a second location on the way), Chris shares why simplicity beats strategy, why chasing virality is a trap, and why staying consistent matters more than any single video's performance.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Wallach shares how he built an audience by translating plastic surgery education into content people actually understand, trust, and come back for.
