BUILDING DIRECT PRIMARY CLINICS. FREEDOM FROM INSURANCE. QUALITY CARE FOR PATIENTS

Cameron is joined by Courtney Contreras, a licensed PA and expert in functional wellness, and they discuss the evolution of medical aesthetics, the importance of integrating longevity and anti-aging into healthcare, and the critical role of hormones in women's health. Courtney shares her journey from traditional medicine to owning a direct primary care clinic and emphasizes the need for building trust and relationships with patients....

In this episode, Courtney Contreras shares her inspiring journey from traditional healthcare to founding a direct primary care practice. She discusses the importance of personalized care, overcoming burnout, and how transparency and vulnerability can transform healthcare experiences.

PA-C Courtney Contreras walked out of one of the most gut-wrenching patient visits of her career and never looked back. Inside: how she replaced her clinical income, ditched insurance, and built a fully-booked practice on her own terms. You don't want to miss this episode. Courtney is doing the math out loud — and the numbers will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about insurance, your worth, and what's actually possible outside the hospital walls as a Physician Associate.
Traditional healthcare is collapsing under its own weight — and clinicians are paying the price. If you’re tired of 10-minute visits, coding handcuffs, and insurance companies dictating your medical decision-making, you’re in the right place.
The DPC Launch is the system I built after walking away from the chaos and growing a six-figure membership practice on my terms. This is where you learn how to do the same — faster, cleaner, and without burning your license or your sanity.

I Left a Broken System — And Built My Freedom Back
After years of 10-minute consults, burnout, and insurance interference, I made the jump to DPC. I created a model that doubled my income, cut my hours, and returned medicine to what it should’ve always been: human, thoughtful, and patient-centered. Now I teach other clinicians how to replicate the same transformation — without burning their license or losing their mind.
A Better Way to Practice Medicine — Built for Clinicians, Not Corporations
You deserve a practice that rewards clinical excellence, not coding gymnastics. The mission of The DPC Launch is simple: help clinicians reclaim autonomy, income, and patient relationships by building their own membership-based practice model — without drowning in guesswork.

Anyone can build this business with out without a medical license...BUT... Our practice model is based on the ability to prescribe so you must have intentions of partnering with a prescribing medical provider.
Direct Primary Care is not a one-size-fits-all startup. Some clinicians build a lean, scrappy model for under $1,000 (I did). Others invest $20K–$100K+ out of the gate for space, staff, equipment, tech, and marketing. Both paths are valid. Both can work.
No — the course includes every step and template required for operating a business and step by step guidance to help you through.
Many are seeing their first patients in 4-8 weeks assuming your medical and prescribing licensing is up to date and your specific state requirements.
Absolutely! Whether you want to incorporate weight loss, aesthetics, pain management, orthopedic physical therapy, nutrition or functional medicine, we help you create the business of your dreams.
We provide the profit and loss workflow sheet within the course to help you have a realistic idea of your investment.
How much is our course you ask??
Much less than the mistake you would make in trial and error and the extra time it would take to learn the start up roll without coaching and support
100% . This is not a cookie cutter course. You get personalized one-on-one coaching each week and collaborate group meets with like minded clinicians.
You are never alone in your journey and you gave lifetime access to course content.
The course is designed to be 12 weeks, with weekly coaching and one-on-one guidance. The material is available for you for unlimited life long access. You can build and expand as fast as you want or slowly add on expanded services for your clinic at your pace but we give you the outline to do it in 12 weeks
