When you start a small business as a solo practitioner, somehow the whole family ends up wanting to lend a hand. My son Linus, who just turned 11 years old, made this flyer to promote my biweekly office hours for patients. He overheard me explain the concept to a family friend, where I wanted to increase the patientsโ access to their provider without making my schedule untenable. Years ago I read, Community Cure by James Maskell, and I loved his discussion of using group visits to bring functional medicine tools to the masses. First, I started my direct specialty care portion of A to Zebra Health, with the hope that a smaller monthly fee might be more feasible for some with its $149 monthly fee. I started with offering a monthly 20min appointment along with concierge level messaging with your provider between visits, and a discounted hourly rate for additional time if you need longer visits. (And honestly, the twenty minutes usually runs into 30 with no extra charge). Next, I had the idea to add two hours of open group zoom meetings where I hosted office hours. The goal is providing members with additional access to their provider to ask questions, pick my brain about a new therapy or medicine, or let me give an impromptu ted talk about psychoneuroimmunology, or share tips and tricks with each other, or, as I like to remind them, you get a free hour if no one else shows up! The membership now has 2 and a half hours of practitioner face time for only $149 a month. This is my little way of trying to change the system.
