PAC & Forth Episode 1: Dr. Omer Deen
"What happens when doctors lose the freedom to treat patients?"
What happens when doctors lose the freedom to treat patients the way they believe is right?
In our very first episode of PAC & Forth, we sit down with Dr. Omer Deen, nationally recognized clinical nutrition expert, private practice physician, and Chair of the Physician Association of California, for a candid conversation about healthcare in California.
We unpack:
- Why private practice physicians are vanishing and what’s driving them out
- How declining reimbursements and growing bureaucracy are impacting patient care
- Why “more efficiency” in healthcare often means less time with your doctor
- How policy decisions in Sacramento directly affect access, quality, and trust
- What real advocacy looks like and why physicians can’t stay on the sidelines
Autonomy, access, and the future of the doctor-patient relationship, told by someone living it every day.
If you care about healthcare that’s personal, accountable, and centered on patients, this conversation is for you.
Listen now and join the conversation!
