Hi! I’m Maryal and I am a proud family medicine physician in Northern California! As I learn more and more each day about the Direct Primary Care movement, I become inspired each time I hear someone’s story. I am a huge podcast fan and, amidst my pregnancy insomnia - we’re due with Baby #2 in late November 2020 - I woke up one morning and thought, it would be a good idea to get more DPC and Direct Care stories out there in the universe!
So, I hope you get a little something from this podcast and go forth with a little more inspiration to make it through the day!
Enjoy!
~ Maryal
UPDATE: Baby #2 was born and I opened my own DPC, Big Trees MD, in Arnold, CA 09.24.2021!
As I walk my first baby steps towards opening my DPC, I find your podcast very inspirational! Awesome idea and very well done! Thank you so much.
Go DPC! This is fantastic! Maryal, birthing a baby, a podcast and a DPC in the same year?! You are awesome! Family Medicine is privileged to witness the stories of our patients. With your podcast we now have a venue to witness each other’s stories- to draw inspiration to help fuel us on our journey and knowledge to help us provide accessible, personal care to our patients and to create balance and fulfillment for ourselves.
