- dine at a restaurant and ask to meet the owner/manager (leave a nice review, too)

- ask your current patients "who do you know that could benefit from our services?"

- ask your current patients for reviews on Google and Yelp

- get great headshots of yourself at your office and in your community

- write an opinion piece for your local newspaper

- send out a press release to your local journalists

- bring cookies to your local specialist's office

- send out mass emails via MailChimp or Emma or a similar email marketing platform

- create fun and engaging content on your social media accounts and ask your current patients to share that content

- host a meet-and-greet at your office and supply bagels and coffee or wine and cheese, depending on your community

Startup DPC Book Helps Doctors Start and Grow Their Direct Primary Care Practices

This week, I got a very kind text message from a doctor who is on the verge of starting their direct primary care practice. They mentioned how they loved the business perspective that this book demonstrates - I think this is because doctors aren’t quite sure how to start a business because they’ve never done it before. In this book, I take you step by step through the startup process for your direct primary care practice. I give you the timeline and I break it down into simple pieces. These simple steps will come together to help you create a fulfilling, successful, and sustainable practice.

Direct Primary Care Book Nearing the Finish Line

I’m really excited because my second book on Direct Primary Care is nearing the finish line! I’ve written 20 chapters and 120,000 words about the process of starting and growing a direct primary care practice. Many of the lessons in the book have been learned the hard way - through my own experiences and my own failures in starting a practice. I also share about my victories and successes, as well as the lessons learned from conferences and speaking to other Direct Primary Care doctors, like the lessons learned through the conversations on this website. If you’d like to sign up to receive an email notification about the progress of the book, just drop me a line at Paul@StartupDPC.com or leave your email in the “Subscribe” box at the bottom of the page. Thanks for reading! - Dr. Paul Thomas
