| 26 May 2024 | The Conundrums of Digital Nomading | 00:04:41 | |
I'm sensitive to decision fatigue. Having to choose our next destination is hard enough, much less, having to choose the flight, exact location in the city, transportation, accommodation, and what to take with us. Being human I can complain about nearly anything. But having spent nearly 6 months now in Long Beach, it feels as though I'm uprooting myself. ------ Dr. Mo Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Heart Health Coaching: Cardiac Health Coach Physician Career Coaching: Consulting | |||
| 17 Nov 2023 | Redesigning My Telehealth Practice | 00:09:59 | |
A bit of an epiphony perhaps, or just yet another tinkering move, I decided to redesign the way I run my Digital Nomad Health practice. Though I like the current practice model, which is a subscription based practice, I often end up with more traditional primary care patients. Even when I advertise a more disease-prevention practice, I get patients with chronic diseases. The important thing about building a solid virtual practice is constantly tinkering until you get it just right. The patients you get are a good indication as to who likes what you're advertising. Changing your voice, message, and content often helps reach a different audience. So ... here I go:

| 30 Sep 2024 | Final Meeting With My Rebranding Expert | 00:10:52 | |
This was my final meeting with Rabeea Hasan and I've learned a lot and have many decisions still to make. The overall consensus is that I have to be consistent and get my message across in a comprehensible way.

| 28 Apr 2024 | The Illusion of Meritocracy - Finding What Matters to You | 00:11:31 | |
Should healthcare be a meritocracy? Perhaps. But it's first a business and trying to make it be anything other than a business may lead to frustration. However, as a physician if the goal is to enjoy what you do and offer value to patients, there are lots of microclimates you can practice in.

| 04 Aug 2024 | Book Review - When Good Doctors Get Sued | 00:30:16 | |
Getting sued doesn't mean you're a bad doctor. It's also not a matter of guilt or lack of it. A medical malpractice suit is a civil case where the plaintiff and their attorney is trying to convince the jury or your malpractice company that there was enough evidence to claim that the physician's actions or lack of it could have somehow led to the negative outcomes the patient is claiming. I love this book because of how it puts things into perspective.

| 20 Sep 2024 | Living and Working Remotely From Tehran, Iran | 00:12:34 | |
It was relatively easy getting set up in Europe and running my virtual medical practice. But here in Tehran, it's a different story. From the Internet to the VPN to even opening a bank account, it's all complicated and frustrating. The frustration is worth it if you can enjoy the process and you have realistic expectations. What usually would take me 1 day in Spain has taken me nearly 2 weeks here in Iran. Then there is the time zone difference and the slow internet speeds. It's been fun, however. In this episdoe I'll give you my initial impressions and my prief interaction with the Iranian healthcare system. ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting | |||

I love the ability to work remotely but as a digital nomad I'm not always in the same place and getting established somewhere new can be frustrating. In this episode you'll hear the loud streets of Tehran which is just another normal day for me as I go run errands. I'll tell you about navigating internet connection issues and buying SIM cards and just trying to not get swindled in day to day interactions.

| 24 Feb 2025 | How to Find Your Ideal Patient For Your Private Medical Practice | 00:10:04 | |
Most of the healthcare system is designed for patients who just need a quick fix—someone with a license to prescribe so they can move on with their day. But what about the 20% of patients who actually care about prevention, long-term health, and finding the right doctor? These are the people who are willing to pay for quality care—and they’re looking for physicians who can guide them through the noise of the medical industry. In this episode, Dr. Mohammad Ashori breaks down the two types of patients you’ll encounter in medicine, why the healthcare system is designed for the 80% who just want a quick prescription, and how you can build a private practice that attracts the 20% of patients who truly value good healthcare. If you’re trying to figure out who your ideal patient is, how to market your practice, and how to stand out from the sea of mainstream medicine, this episode is for you.

| 11 Dec 2024 | Doctors as Health Coaches: Guiding Clients Without Diagnosing | 00:12:26 | |
In this episode, we dive into the evolving role of physicians as health coaches, exploring how this practice differs fundamentally from traditional medicine. As more doctors transition into health coaching, it’s essential to understand the boundaries: health coaching focuses on empowering clients (not patients) to navigate their health journey, rather than providing medical diagnoses or treatments. We’ll discuss: If you’re a doctor interested in health coaching or curious about how coaching complements traditional healthcare, this episode is for you!

| 22 Sep 2023 | Reimaging What the Practice of Medicine Could Be Like | 00:16:11 | |
The current model of healthcare has led many physicians to burnout and alienated many patients. But there are better ways to practice medicine. You don't have to reinvent the wheel - others are already doing it successfully. The DPC doctors are charging patients a subscription fee. Cash-pay surgery centers are charging patients from all over the world directly without any insurance involvement. Rheumatologists and Cardiologists are charging patient cash for their care. ------ Dr. Mo Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Heart Health Coaching: Cardiac Health Coach Physician Career Coaching: Coaching | |||

| 18 Dec 2023 | An In-Person Visit With a Cash-Based Specialist Physician | 00:09:09 | |
My girlfriend just had her visit iwth a specialist who is cash-based, meaning he charges cash and takes no insurance. Really great experience and for $500 per hour it was a good deal for my partner to get good quality care. I don't think she would have gotten care this good from a specialist in the insurance system or at least it would have been much harder to find that diamond in the rough. ------ Dr. Mo Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Heart Health Coaching: Cardiac Health Coach Physician Career Coaching: Consulting | |||

| 06 Feb 2025 | Why Refunding a Patient’s Money Can Be the Smartest Move in Private Practice | 00:15:52 | |
Ever had a difficult patient who seemed like more trouble than they were worth? It happens to all of us and it's not that the patient is bad, it's that we don't have the right processes in place to avoid customer related headaches. One of the biggest advantages of running a private, cash-based practice is the freedom to choose how you handle patient payments—including the ability to offer refunds strategically. In this episode, I share a real-world example where a refund could have prevented major headaches, negative reviews, and even a potential malpractice lawsuit. I also break down:

If you’re thinking about starting a cash-based, physical medical practice, there’s one term you should know: GPO (Group Purchasing Organization). A GPO helps you save money by negotiating bulk discounts on medical supplies, medications, office essentials, waste disposal, and even malpractice insurance. Instead of setting up contracts with multiple vendors yourself, you get instant access to lower prices through these organizations. Pros:

| 25 Nov 2023 | 3 Price Points - 3 Price Levels For Your Virtual Clinic | 00:07:09 | |
Setting 3 price points will give all your patients the opportunity to partake in your practice. It might be a bit more work for you but at least you won't scare away the person who is worried about a $500 sticker shock. 3 price points means you have different levels for different people - inclusivity. 3 price levels means you have 3 different packages based on what you think will make you the most effective.If having a membership model with 2,000 people at $100 per month makes the most sense and is the best use of your time, that's what you should push.

| 30 Nov 2024 | Why You Might Be Frustrated Working in the Mainstream Health Insurance Model | 00:08:49 | |
It's understandable to be frustrated practicing medicine in the mainstream insurance model because it is designed around profits. But the alternative is working in the cahs-based system which is still quite young and not very well evolved. Fortunately, health insurance and healthcare is becoming so unaffordable that cash-based practices are gaining traction. But you must know what you're offering the patient and keep practicing your pitch. In the insurance based system the patient knows exactly whtat they are getting but it's often unclear in the cash-based world. Are you getting one vist? Multiple visits? How much is the follow-up? What if they need a test, will it be astronomical in price?

| 27 Aug 2024 | The Simplicity of a Medical Practice | 00:10:19 | |
A medical practice doesn't have to be complicated. Physicians are in high enough demand that if you hang up a shingle you'll get plenty of customers knocking on your door. Sure, to ruin a super optimized medical practice where you optimize for profits takes a lot more work, but that's not what all of us need. ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting | |||

A little more about Sasso Marconi and living in Italy. But I'll also discuss Western Medicine and what it's like to be a patient in this system. Remember that there are many systems running in parallel in the US healthcare system and the insurance model is just one such system. You have the choice of how to practice - maybe the income won't be exactly what you want it to be but it can be satisfying. ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting | |||

| 21 Mar 2025 | I'm Building a Cash Pay Walk-In Clinic | 00:06:23 | |
What’s up, everyone? It’s Dr. Mo from Digital Nomad Physician. Quick update—consults are paused for the next two months while I dive into something new and super exciting. I’m opening a cash-pay walk-in clinic in Long Beach, California. No insurance. Simple pricing. Quick access. And honestly… I couldn’t find another clinic like it out there. In this episode, I’m walking you through why I’m doing it, the steps so far (permits, contractors, medical supplies, ADA compliance), and all the headaches of setting up a private practice from scratch. If you’ve ever thought about starting your own clinic or wondered if a cash-based walk-in model could work, you’ll want to hear this. I’m testing it so you don’t have to.

| 31 Mar 2025 | Doctors Are Leaving Medicine – But You Don't Have To | 00:06:36 | |
A physician recently shared a post about how medicine is a minefield—you can do everything right and still get sued, blamed, or burned out. The system makes it easier to destroy doctors than to support them, and many are leaving for good. But instead of waiting for change, what if you made a shift?
I also share my personal experience:

Standing out is a good thing in medicine - usually. When you are doing a great job as a doctor, your peers and patients will give you subtle and not-so-subtle feedback which is worth paying attention to. And if you are doing a superb job as a doctor in a particular healthcare system but that system can't accommodate your ongoing improvement, it might be time to leave. | |||

There is a time in our lives when working full-time is justified and even welcome. I suspect that for most it'll be the first decade of their career and for a few the last decade, too.

Though there are tons of legal documsnts you can come up with for your medical practice here are the ones that are considered fairly mandatory. These are the legal documents you need to have drawn up or they could be templates you download and modify to help protect your practice and your patients.
There are several places you can download templates for such documents and later you can have an attorney edit them for you, probably once your practice takes off enough to make a good income. Sample places to download include:

It's easy to say that the US healthcare system is broken and of no value. I disagree. I think it is motivated by profits which makes it tougher for the patient to navigate but there is defintiely value in it for the patient who knows how to navigate it. One oof the most important things we can do in this system is to figure out where we belong. Do we want to click in and out and just collect a paycheck?

The cash-based medical practice isn't the best model in healthcare but it's the best one we have.

A cash pay practice is one in which I deal with the patient directly. And building such a practice creates a community of like minded physicians who will likely be my fellow supporters. And it's the kind of system in which I would like to practice one day. https://www.linkedin.com/in/easyorthopedics/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammad-ashori-md/

I recently interviewed Jeff at Practis which is a marketing firm for medical practices. He was quite helpful and gave me some general advice and broke down the prices which comes out to somewhere around $900/mo for me to have a social media campaign, a website, and a few other services all built out over a 30 day period. You can check out some of the themes they use on their website to see if it's the kind of website you'd like for your practice. Again, the website design isn't the most important factor but what you have on your website.

I just signed the lease on my 500 sq ft clinic space in Long Beach, and I'm thinking a lot about what kind of practice I want to build. Instead of locking myself into a rigid model, I’m keeping things flexible—giving myself the option to shift between a cash-based walk-in clinic, urgent care, or even direct primary care. Why flexibility matters when starting a medical practice:
I chose a retail space because I want to be visible and accessible. But if I don’t get enough traction, I’ll consider moving into a medical office building. Even in a small space, you can do a lot—bring in an NP or PA, offer virtual visits, host group coaching, and adapt your practice over time.
