Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Direct Primary Care Model with Dr. Nadia Sirdar

In this episode of The Care Room with Dr. Cindy, Dr. Cindy Ojevwe sits down with Dr. Nadia Sirdar, a board-certified internal medicine physician trained at Yale, Northwestern, and UT Southwestern, to explore a different way of thinking about healthcare—and why it matters now more than ever.After spending nearly a decade caring for the sickest patients in the hospital, often stepping in when prevention had come too late, Dr. Sirdar began asking a deeper question: Is there a better way to care for people before they get this sick? In this conversation, she shares what led her to step away from traditional hospital medicine and build a more sustainable, human-centered approach through Direct Primary Care (DPC).Dr. Sirdar discusses physician burnout, balance, rising healthcare costs, and why prevention, partnership, and access should not feel like luxuries—especially for busy women navigating midlife, careers, and family responsibilities. She explains how community-centered, relationship-based care can lead to better outcomes for patients while also restoring purpose and fulfillment for doctors.This episode challenges the way we’ve been taught to experience healthcare. It’s about rethinking care for both patients and physicians, and what becomes possible when healthcare is proactive, personal, and rooted in community rather than crisis.You can find Dr.Nadia Sirdar here:Instagram:  / drnadiasirdar  Facebook:  / nadiasirdarmd  TikTok:  / dr.nadiasirdar  LinkedIn:   / drnadiasirdar  YouTube:    / @drnadiasirdar
