The Future of Patient Care: Why Direct Primary Care Is Changing Everything

I sat down with Dr. Jeremy Smith, a pioneer of Direct Primary Care, to talk about how he left the insurance-driven system behind and rediscovered his passion for medicine. We talk about the freedom, satisfaction, and evolution possible when doctors take back control.

Dr. Jeremy Smith is a board-certified family medicine and functional medicine physician and founded MyMD Select, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic based in Texas. As a mentor to Dr. Clint Carter and one of the early pioneers of the DPC movement, Dr. Smith brings a powerful perspective on how doctors can reclaim their profession—and their purpose—by breaking free of the fee-for-service model—his work centers on restoring the human connection in medicine, one patient at a time.
