Starting a direct-pay practice is exciting—but there’s a lot no one warns you about. The biggest factor in success isn’t just marketing or pricing—it’s mindset. From overcoming the fear of failure to thinking like a business owner, this episode is packed with insights from Dr. Vasanth Kainkaryam, who built his Direct Patient Care (DPC) practice from the ground up.
In this episode, we break down:
✔️ Why some DPCs take off—and why others struggle to get patients
✔️ The hidden financial challenges no one talks about (and how to plan for them)
✔️ How word-of-mouth, social media, and networking actually work in DPC marketing
✔️ The mindset shift needed to balance patient care and business success
✔️ Why most doctors aren’t prepared for the emotional weight of owning a practice
If you’re serious about building a thriving direct-pay clinic, this episode will challenge how you think about success—and show you how to get there.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
