Organization: Freelance Consultancy – Upon leaving St Luke’s Hospital Network in September 2021, I began providing advisory/consulting services to primary care and specialty care physicians seeking to start Direct Primary and Specialty Care (DPCs/DSCs) practices adopting a cash-pay, concierge style of practice. In addition to working with several physicians in the St. Louis region, I also worked with a few physicians across the State of Missouri. Currently, I am engaged on a nationwide project to link up as many Direct Primary Care and Direct Specialty Care practices into a broader network of caregivers focused on the patient-physician relationship. This initiative has multiple phases which will eventually include ambulatory care services (i.e., freestanding outpatient imaging services, surgical services, therapy services and retail pharmacies) and inpatient services/micro-hospitals.Accomplishments: Consulting on the development of a national network of Direct Primary Care (DPC) and Direct Specialty Care (DSC) practices focused on the patient-physician relationship and medical freedom of choice. As the COVID pandemic unfolded, these practices grew significantly over a very short period because they focused on early and alternative treatment methodologies. We are now focused on the sustainability of the business model. Advising seven primary care and specialty care Missouri-based physicians on how to develop and start up Direct Primary Care (DPC) and Direct Specialty Care (DSC) practices focused on cash-pay, concierge care. Developing membership-driven cash-pay business models customizable to each specific physician practice. Consulted on the overall branding/marketing plans for these Direct Primary Care and Direct Specialty Care practices focusing on early and alternative treatment methodologies. The focus has been social media as word-of-mouth testimonials have been the most successful marketing tactic to build new business.
