Dr. Maryal Concepcion is a dedicated national speaker and the host of the My DPC Story podcast, committed to enhancing healthcare delivery for both patients and physicians. With over a decade of experience in the traditional model of insurance-based healthcare, she made a bold move to establish her own Direct Primary Care clinic, Big Trees MD, in rural Northern California. Fueled by the belief that every physician should understand the intricacies of insurance-based medicine and that independent practice remains viable, Dr. Concepcion launched the My DPC Story podcast. The podcast, ranking in the Top 0.15% globally and consistently in the Top 250 of the Apple Medicine Podcast charts, serves as a platform for her to share insights as a rural DPC owner and inspire others to explore solutions for improving healthcare in America. As the host, she has interviewed nearly 200 DPC doctors. Dr. Concepcion's passion for storytelling and dedication to education are reflected in her influential social media presence, where she connects with and inspires individuals within the DPC ecosystem.
