[Dr. Ashori · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've wanted to listen to this book for some time. I understand the concept of DPC as a subscription model to health and for sure it's a great solution for many. The author is the perfect person to write this book and hilarious to listen to as the narrator.
There is a lot of insight. And one might think that this is a once-read book and now you know everything. I think you have to dissect this book because it's much more pithy than it appears.
You gotta take notes, come back to the book, create your own outline, test, experiment, and reassess. Really well done and highly recommended for anyone starting any kind of medical practice whether DPC or virtual or whatever.

Excellent overview of the ins and outs of both considering starting and actually starting your own DPC practice. Good chance I may utilize Dr. Farrago's consultation in the near future...
