Super Doc Stories

In this episode of Super Doc Stories, we sit down with Dr. Grizelda Anguiano, a pediatrician turned ADHD specialist, to discuss her journey from private practice to building a family-centered ADHD coaching and mental health practice. Dr. Grizelda shares the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship, how she combines medication management with holistic family coaching, and the importance of setting boundaries while attracting the right patients.Whether you’re a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or parent navigating ADHD, this conversation is full of actionable insights, inspiring lessons, and a glimpse into how aligning your purpose with your practice can transform lives—both for your patients and yourself.

Dr. Sherika Newman is a palliative care and hospice physician who is also board certified in obesity medicine. She's based in Atlanta, GA. In this episode, she tells her story of how she had to pivot from her initial foray into private practice in 2017 when, during COVID her business dried up. She took an employed position in 2020 for about four years until she realized she's "not a good corporate girl" and started to think how she could do what she loves - patient advocacy - on a larger scale. This naturally evolved to building "A Doctor in the Family" as a consulting business and reopening her weight management practice, which has continued to grow and thrive over the last few years.

SuperDoc Stories: Alison Curfman – From Pediatric ER to Healthcare Innovator

In this episode of SuperDoc Stories, Dr. Marissa Caudill sits down with Dr. Alison Curfman, a pediatric ER physician whose career took a remarkable turn into health tech and startups. From witnessing the limitations of traditional pediatric care to founding a medical group that now serves tens of thousands of Medicaid children, Alison shares her journey of innovation, risk-taking, and impact.

Listeners will hear how she leveraged telehealth, built groundbreaking programs, navigated the challenges of launching a startup during a pandemic, and ultimately scaled her company to nationwide reach—all while continuing her clinical work. This is an inspiring story for physicians and healthcare professionals thinking beyond the traditional path and seeking meaningful ways to make a difference.

In this episode, Marissa Caudill interviews Dr. Kat Hudon. She and her husband, Dr. Travis Hudon, are the co-founders of Pinnacle Wellness in Spokane, WA. It's an age-management and longevity clinic based in evidenced-based care with cutting edge technology to promote healthy aging into their 8th and 9th decades. She remains active in education as the division head of pediatrics at Pacific Northwest University, speaker, educator, and mom. They founded their practice with the end in mind. They want to provide the best care they can to as many people as they can, with ethics in mind, intentionally refusing to use any pharmaceuticals as a revenue stream, and with open doors to all levels of practitioners, with varying interests and passions about which aspects of healthcare they want to treat, with realistic work loads.

Pinnacle Wellness rejects insurance-dictated care in order to spend more time with her patients, and have found success with patients who are driven to be healthier, who are finding they save money getting their health care with Pinnacle.

They started in 2023, are about to open in multiple states. She has found a wonderful local marketing company to support her growth with consistent social media content in their brand voice. She has embraced functioning as a CEO and hiring experts in their field to support their growth to stay focused on the things that she values most.

My favorite quote? "There's nothing like being totally purpose driven".

Dr. Chhaya Makhija is a triple board certified endocrinologist and lifestyle medicine specialist.

After her training, she worked for 8 years and learned things she liked and didn't like about corporate medicine.

On her 40th birthday, during the pandemic, during a walk on the beach, she got clarity on what she wanted to do - spend time with her patients, and blend her eastern medicine knowledge with her endocrinology expertise. She realized this meant she had to start her own business. A short term locum tenens job in December 2021 provided her the financial bridge she needed to start Unified Endocrine Care in 2021. It was the first direct specialty care practice in California to integrate lifestyle medicine and endocrinology. She opened her doors in 2022 and expanded to a second location in 2025. Needless to say, it's going well!

Dr. Carolyn Moyers, an OB/Gyn physician in Texas, took a leap of faith when she started her own practice three years ago. Now, Sky Women's health is busier than ever and she's experienced massive growth (44%!!!) in 2025. We can't wait to see what will happen in 2026 when she finally goes all in on this amazing practice.

Hear how she made the shift from employed physician to business owner. During the pandemic, she couldn't shake the thought that "women deserve better". After meeting someone who had created a practice that fulfilled her vision, she started building Sky women's health during her two days off per week, in September 2020.

That's right, she was exhausted, raising three kids during the pandemic, and took on more work. Yet, because it was aligned with her dream, she was not depleted, she was energized. She believed in her vision and made it happen.

It hasn't happened overnight, but what's she's built is amazing and you can see the light in her eyes if you watch this video on YouTube.
