Dr. Anne Gonzalez at DPC Life asked me about imposter syndrome in direct primary care, and I had a lot to say about it. The self-doubt is real. But so is what's on the other side of it.
"I keep having to remind myself: I am a competent physician giving really good care. But you get so beat down as an employed physician that you forget your value."
I had a great conversation about this with Dr. Allison Groff on the HerHealthMD podcast. We talked about perimenopause, the DPC model, and why primary care has to work differently for women in midlife.
This conversation reflects why I stepped away from hospital medicine to build a different model of care. Prevention, access, and partnership should not feel like luxuries.
Leaving hospital medicine wasn’t the risky move everyone expected. The surprising part was how many colleagues pulled me aside to say they wished they could do the same. The truth is simple. When the system stops prioritizing patients and physicians stop being heard, you either keep your head down or you choose a different path. I chose the path where patient care comes first.
Grateful to DPC Life for the conversation. Women deserve a clinician who can see the full picture and guide them through menopause care with clarity and consistency. That’s the work I’m committed to building every day at Bethesda Modern Primary Care.
A fantastic conversation with Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa in her "Fertile Talks Podcast”. We dive deep into redefining primary care model and how it transforms women’s health by restoring the physician–patient relationship, bridging preventive medicine with fertility and menopause care, and leveraging technology for truly personalized medicine.
The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How direct primary care is breaking the mold and why it's not just for the elite."

Talking about perimenopause and menopause with your doctor can feel intimidating, especially when your symptoms are brushed off as “stress” or “just getting older.”
I loved joining Dr. Brittney Anderson on Headed to Healthier to talk about how women can feel more prepared and confident during conversations about menopause care.
