Years ago, I asked if I could do my telehealth shifts from home. My patients were already being seen virtually, and I wanted a little more flexibility with my kids (and I wouldn’t have to drive home during traffic hour). 

The response from a physician leader? “How do we know you won’t just be getting your nails done?”

That moment stuck with me.

Today, I own my own practice (with Dr. Heikens who is awesome!). This morning I had microneedling done on my way to work by my favorite  @suezmd AND I opened my laptop, and started seeing my telehealth patients. My patients received the same thoughtful, attentive care they always do and it was relatable for them. 

This is why physician-co-owned, women-led practices matter. We build workplaces rooted in trust instead of assumptions, outcomes instead of optics, and flexibility instead of outdated stereotypes.

Being my own boss means I get to practice medicine on my terms with excellent patient care, healthy boundaries, and without comments that question my professionalism because I’m a woman.

Happy Women Physicians Day !✨ and a toast to all my incredible colleagues. 
A fellow physician once told me, “You may love medicine, but it will never love you back.” While I understand the sentiment – the long hours, the emotional toll, the systemic challenges – I also know that medicine has given me far more than I could ever repay. It’s gifted me with a unique perspective on what truly matters in life, the maturity to let go of the small stuff, and it has taught me a resilience I never knew I possessed. 

The privilege of caring for others, of being a part of their lives during vulnerable moments, is an honor.  Here’s to all the women physicians who dedicate their hearts and minds to this calling.  We are strong, we are resilient, and we are making a difference. #WomenPhysiciansDay #WomenInMedicine #MedStudent #DoctorLife #Resilience #Medicine #Inspiration
