"I was so burnt out in the system that it was either do direct care or leave medicine. I already knew that I was good at what I did so leaving medicine because the system is broken didn't make sense--so I fixed it. As someone who has an $8000 deductible, I also wanted to make healthcare more affordable and the cost of care transparent."

Dr. Becky Mullin takes us behind the scene to how she pivoted from an employed position to becoming a proud owner of a Direct Specialty Care practice.

She is accepting patients at Mullin Podiatry in Wayzata, MN
