He had no family in medicine, but for him, the path to becoming a physician made the most sense. He went on to Grand Valley State for his bachelor’s and then followed with the MSU College of Human Medicine to attain his MD. He did his residency in Greeley, Colorado at North Colorado Family Medicine. His training there was excellent and is owed in large part to an exceptional group of mentors and faculty on staff there.With his wife, Dr. Hellman relocated to Silverton, Oregon for his first job out of residency in the Summer of 2016. Although they cherished their time there, they made the tough decision a year later to move back to their family in Michigan where they felt they were being called. That year and a half of work in the healthcare industrial complex opened his eyes even further to the deficiencies of modern healthcare. Its clunky, bloated, and mis-incentivized structure was not something that excited him. He always felt terrible when a patient would get a large medical bill despite paying large insurance premiums or was told the most effective therapy for their malady was not an option.In March of 2018, he decided to form Paradox Health and start taking part in the DPC model of health care. It is something he thought about since his first year of medical school, and ultimately what he had always wanted to do. It just took the right prodding, and the right people to tell him he wasn’t crazy.He currently resides in Rochester with his wife Chelsea and their four children: Merritt, Luella, Hattie, and Hannon.---------------------Check out the My DPC Story RESOURCE PAGE HERE!Find a DPC checklist on how to start your own DPC, DPC conference recordings, and more!---------------------LISTENER'S GUIDE!NEW TO THE POD?

She attended Ross University & received her Doctor of Medicine and undergraduate degrees from the University of South Florida. After training, she joined a multi-specialty practice in 2010, Clark and Daughtrey, a physician-owned group.Her patient panel grew to over 4,000 patients in 7 years. She and her staff always strived for a patient’s experience in the office to be a pleasant one. However, the physician-owned practice soon merged with a large hospital, and the family feel of the office was lost. Many of the personal touches disappeared and patients felt like a number. This convinced her to seek alternative options to better care for her patients. The obstacles her patients encountered, along with her drive why she became a physician motivated her to open Aspire Health. The DPC membership at Aspire Health allows her to devote quality time to her patients and their families, getting to know them on a more in-depth level. The close relationship she develops and the time she spends with patients are personally important to her. This is the foundation of exceptional health care. In her spare time, she enjoys volunteering at the Miami Rescue Clinic, teaching, traveling, working out, yoga, cooking, and spending time with her family and friends.In this episode...Dr. Tami Singh highlights the uniqueness of DPC, the support it offers within its community, and the empowerment it gives to physicians to practice medicine on their own terms and with a focus on patient care.---------------------LISTENER'S GUIDE!NEW TO THE POD?

Her interest in the medical field was first sparked when she was in high school, by her observation of a patient-doctor relationship.Many years have passed since that interaction which took place at Alpena General Hospital in Michigan, and it is the desire to build and maintain meaningful long-lasting relationships that continues to draw her to medicine.After graduating high school, she went on to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where she obtained a B.S. in Cognitive Science and Biopsychology. Then, she graduated from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago IL with a Medical Degree. She completed her residency in 2010 at MacNeal Family Medicine Residency, affiliated with the University of Chicago IL.In this episode...Dr. Ashaye reveals that her experiences with patients receiving inadequate care led her to question her purpose in medicine. She felt frustrated by the lack of effective follow-up and wanted to make a more significant impact. Discovering the Direct Primary Care model aligned with her vision of providing better care based on relationships and patient choice, regardless of insurance status or employment.She acknowledges the limitations of fee-for-service care, where patients' insurance changes or losses can disrupt continuity. The Direct Primary Care model offered a solution that allowed her to provide the type of care she had envisioned when she became a doctor.---------------------LISTENER'S GUIDE!NEW TO THE POD?

Be sure to leave your contact EMAIL so I can return your message!Dr. Aerie Chung explains how she built her successful membership-based infectious disease clinic. She reveals that she started by talking to referral sources, such as local ID doctors and a non-profit organization for HIV patients, to target the ideal clients. She also emphasizes the importance of making direct connections with physicians and networking, despite working in a community dominated by corporate systems. Dr. Chung adds that every patient referred to her is valuable and she treats each with high-quality care. She says she added acupuncture to the mix after taking a physician course and deciding to go with the Japanese style of accupuncture.---------------------We're CELEBRATING our first 100,000 listens on APPLE PODCASTS!ENTER TO WIN THE MY DPC STORY DPC SUMMIT PRIZE PACKAGE!Get $50 in My DPC Story SWAG + a TICKET  TO THIS YEAR'S DPC SUMMIT in MN!--> 1) Rate and review our podcast on Apple Podcasts.--> 2) Take a screenshot ***BEFORE you hit submit*** of your review and then email it to [email protected]> 3) Follow My DPC Story on all our social media platforms - IG, FB, Tiktok, Youtube, Linked in and Twitter.
