Super Doc Stories

Dr. Manita Nat spent seven years in private practice before realizing she wanted something different: more time with patients, more autonomy, and the freedom to practice medicine on her own terms.

In this episode, Dr. Nat shares her journey from burnout to launching East Bay OBGYN, a direct specialty care practice in Danville, California. She talks honestly about the fear and uncertainty of leaving a traditional practice, figuring out business financing, using locums work to create financial stability, finding affordable equipment, and building a team to support the business.

She also shares how social media and community events helped her attract her first patients, why she chose a fee-for-service model, and how she reached the point of breaking even within her first seven months.

For physicians wondering whether it's possible to build a practice that better aligns with the way they want to live and care for patients, Dr. Nat's story is an encouraging look at what can happen when you finally create something that fits.

After more than 20 years in traditional pediatrics, Dr. Celina Moore knew there had to be another way to practice medicine.

In this episode of SuperDoc Stories, Dr. Moore shares her journey from insurance-based pediatrics to founding Moore Healthy Kids, a concierge pediatric practice in West Palm Beach, Florida. She talks about leaving a system she loved working within but no longer wanted to be limited by, building a practice around deeper relationships with families, and learning to navigate the financial uncertainty of entrepreneurship.

She also shares the story behind her innovative pediatric medical kit, created to help families manage common childhood illnesses from home with physician guidance.

But Dr. Moore's vision for healthcare extends far beyond her own practice. As co-founder and medical director of the Akoma Ntoso Foundation, she travels to rural Ghana twice a year to provide medical care, support education, and build long-term relationships with communities.

From creating a practice that fits her vision of medicine to following a childhood dream of serving in Africa, Dr. Moore's story is about entrepreneurship, service, resilience, and building a career around what matters most.
