Syeda Ali, MD

As an internist in the Midwest region of Chicago, she found herself grappling with a deeply flawed healthcare system. Hidden fees and surprise bills became all too common, leaving patients frustrated and delaying necessary treatments. Heart-wrenching stories of individuals depleting their savings to battle illness haunted her. The inspiration for change struck in March 2023 when she stumbled upon the Video by Josh Umbehr (The Pioneer of the DPC model), which offered a beacon of hope in revolutionizing American healthcare. The final, emotional commitment came at her father’s funeral on May 8, 2023. She resolved to channel her grief into creating meaningful change. She resigned from her previous position and embarked on a journey to establish a DPC practice.
