Partnering for Better Care: Dr. Annis and Dr. Nayo's DPC Journey

In episode 178 of the My DPC Story Podcast, host Dr. Maryal Concepcion interviews Dr. Cory Annis and Dr. Amy Nayo, the dynamic duo behind the transformative Unorthodoc practice. Dr. Annis shares her journey from owning a conventional practice and building to pioneering Direct Primary Care (DPC) due to frictions with the insurance industry, including a $20,000 clawback. Dr. Nayo reveals her departure from a rural community health system, driven by a lack of voice and an overwhelming workload, to finding an ideal partner in Dr. Annis, in part through a Facebook job ad.Together, they discuss the emotional relief and excitement in establishing Unorthodox, their partnership, and the benefits of practicing close to home in Durham for improved patient care and quality of life. The episode dives into their unique patient population, including different socioeconomic backgrounds, and their commitment to affordable, relationship-driven care.Listeners will also gain insights into the practicalities of transitioning to DPC, overcoming financial barriers, and the importance of finding aligned partners. As they reflect on their rejuvenated passion for medicine, the episode underscores the empowering nature of DPC in offering high-quality, flexible healthcare.Join our Patreon community to stay updated and advocate for DPC!Meet the My DPC Story team at DPC Summit NOLA!
