What if your doctor actually had time to know you?

In this episode of the FreedomDoc Health Podcast, Christopher Habig sits down with Dr. Susan Jacob to explore how direct primary care is changing the patient experience. From longer first appointments to meet and greet “interviews,” Dr. Jacob explains how this model creates a more personal, accessible approach to care where patients feel heard, understood, and confident in their decisions.

The conversation also highlights how time and direct access lead to better outcomes, helping physicians catch issues earlier, manage care more thoroughly, and build lasting relationships that improve health over time. Dr. Jacob shares what to look for in a primary care physician and why having a trusted doctor before you need one can make all the difference.
