Dr. Kushagra Verma doesn’t just run a spine care practice—he leads it with intention, integrity, and data. In this episode, Dr. Verma lays out a clear blueprint for what leadership looks like in medicine. He shares how rejecting volume-based care in favor of concierge-level attention has allowed him to maintain high standards and build lasting trust with patients.
Craig Andrews explores Dr. Verma’s early pivot from engineering to surgery, his work in global outreach, and the leadership lessons learned while operating under extreme constraints. Dr. Verma explains how creating an evidence-based practice means blending data, experience, and patient preferences—never defaulting to one-size-fits-all decisions.
From his surgical philosophy to the way he builds patient relationships, Dr. Verma demonstrates that leadership in healthcare is about discipline, education, and consistency. This episode is a masterclass in doing hard things the right way.
