Episode 140: Dr. Phil Hellman of Paradox Health DPC - Rochester Hills, MI

Episode 140: Dr. Phil Hellman of Paradox Health DPC - Rochester Hills, MIDr. Philip Hellman is a family medicine physician in Rochester Hills, Michigan. 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?
