Hey doc! In today's episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I'm joined by Dr. Rebecca Berens, a family Physician who opened her direct primary care practice with a toddler, through a pandemic, while pregnant with her second child.
Dr. Berens shares her journey of:
- Leaving corporate medicine to create a flexible practice
- Navigating breastfeeding challenges that led to becoming an IBCLC
- Building a practice during the pandemic with young children
- Creating a mom-centered medical practice in Sugar Land
Key insights:
- Sometimes the "wrong" timing creates the right opportunity
- Accepting help strengthens both you and your children
- Virtual networking can build powerful connections
- You can create a practice that aligns with motherhood
Doc, if you're considering a major career change while raising little ones, this conversation shows how embracing uncertainty can lead to creating exactly what you need.
Dr. Berens is a family physician and founder of Vida Family Medicine where she provides primary care to individuals and families. Prior to opening her private practice she worked in and led a community health center in Philadelphia, PA and taught medical students and residents in Houston, TX at Baylor College of Medicine. She treats each patient as an individual and tailors prevention and treatment plans to the needs of each patient rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her office is welcoming to all, and her care is trauma-informed and weight-neutral.
