BRI in the Buckeye State: A Conversation with Dr. Leila Javidi

BRI in the Buckeye State: A Conversation with Leila Javidi
Direct Primary Care and Direct Specialty Care are rapidly gaining traction across the country. Nationally, DPC enrollment has surged over the past decade, growing by more than 800% since 2017 as demand for transparent, relationship-based care continues to accelerate. Yet despite this momentum, Ohio is presently home to a relatively small number of DPC/DSC practices. But it won't be this way for long. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Leila Javidi of Rebel + Thrive DPC, one of Ohio’s most outspoken advocates for the direct care movement and a widely followed physician voice on TikTok. We’ll explore why more physicians are rejecting the status quo, what makes the DPC model so appealing to both doctors and patients, and what it actually takes to build an independent practice from the ground up.
