Ep 114: How To Grow A DPC Micropractice with Dr. Sonia Singh

Voices of Women Physicians

Dr. Sonia Singh is a Stanford-trained, board-certified internist, primary care physician, writer and consultant. In 2021, Dr. Singh designed and launched a solo, direct primary care (DPC) micropractice built to serve women in Houston, TX. She believes both PCPs and their patients deserve better than what our healthcare system offers. Alongside her own clinical practice, Dr. Singh helps other women in medicine build micropractices that allow them to practice medicine with autonomy, authenticity and joy via educational resources and 1:1 consulting. Dr. Singh hosts a weekly Micropractice Mama podcast and will also be launching an E-Course in Fall 2024. Her writing has been featured in NPR, The New England Journal of Medicine and Annals of Internal Medicine.
