In Episode 167 of the My DPC Story Podcast, Dr. Jamie Eller discusses her compelling journey into Direct Primary Care (DPC) after being in nursing for many years before choosing to become a doctor. Inspired during her residency, Dr. Eller pursued teaching and practicing osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) but found herself constrained by the traditional healthcare system. This episode explores her transition from a demanding employed position to opening her successful DPC practice in Willts. Dr. Eller reveals her strategy of leveraging word-of-mouth referrals and a cap of 250 patients to maintain work-life balance. She also shares invaluable insights into practice management, patient engagement, and her commitment to personalized, accessible care. Listeners will gain inspiration from Dr. Eller's dedication to transforming her healthcare career, the role of osteopathic principles in her practice, and the vital lessons she learned along the way. Tune in to hear how Dr. Eller balances teaching, running a successful DPC practice, and maintaining patient relationships, all while navigating the challenges and rewards of the DPC model. For doctors considering this innovative approach, Dr. Eller’s story is a testament to the viability and fulfillment that DPC can bring to both practitioners and patients alike.
