Today we’d like to introduce you to Tami Singh.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
“Caring for patients the way I want myself and family to be cared for.”
This has been my motto since starting medical school. After training, I joined a multi-specialty practice in 2010, Clark and Daughtrey, a physician-owned group. My patient panel grew to over 4,000 patients in seven years. My staff and I always strived for a patient’s experience in the office to be a pleasant one. However, the physician-owned practice soon merged with a large hospital and the family feel of the office was lost.
Many of the personal touches disappeared and patients felt like a number. This convinced me to seek alternative options to better care for my patients. The obstacles my patients encountered, along with my drive of why I became a physician motivated me to open Aspire Health. The membership model at Aspire Health allows me to devote quality time to my patients and their families, getting to know them on a more in-depth level. The close relationship I develop and the time I spend with patients are personally important to me. This is the foundation of exceptional health care.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
This career path has not been easy. Many have said, I need to pick another career and even at this point in my life telling me I shouldn’t take the risk of being an entrepreneur and should go back to corporate medicine.
If you have a dream and a goal go for it! The worst thing you do is try?!
At least, if you do try and fail, you could say you tried! The unknown is scary but believing in yourself is the key. Being humble and having a good work ethic is also crucial.
Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
I am a board-certified family physician, yoga instructor, reiki healer and owner of Aspire Health.
My practice is based on a concept called Direct Primary Care. Patients pay a low monthly membership for unlimited visits and access to me through cell, text, email and video chat.
I also incorporate holistic, integrative/functional and aryuvedic medicine with a foundation in family medicine.
There’s a wealth of academic research that suggests that a lack of mentors and networking opportunities for women has materially affected the number of women in leadership roles. Smart organizations and industry leaders are working to change this, but in the meantime, do you have any advice for finding a mentor and building a network?
Networking has been the hardest thing for me. I am forced out of my comfort zone and shell. I try to set up a networking event weekly. This allows me to break up the monotony of being in the office and continuously educate others about my practice.
