In episode 176 of the *My DPC Story Podcast*, host Dr. Maryal Concepcion interviews Dr. Beth Galla about her journey to adopting the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model in her pediatric practice. Dr. Galla discusses the shortage of pediatricians, the financial struggles they face, and the lack of work-life balance in traditional healthcare. She praises DPC for offering financial stability, a supportive community, and improved quality of patient care. Dr. Galla shares her proactive approach to starting a DPC practice, emphasizing the importance of individualized care, especially for children. She highlights the unique aspects of her practice, "Sweetbay Pediatrics," including its patient-friendly environment and lack of a waiting room. Dr. Galla also talks about her website, marketing strategies, and the growth of her patient base through word-of-mouth. The conversation sheds light on the challenges and rewards of running a DPC practice and the necessity of spreading awareness about this transformative model. Reflecting on her career transitions and passion for pediatric care, Dr. Galla underscores how DPC has allowed her to provide the personalized care that the traditional fee-for-service model often neglects.
