A Clear Path to Building Your Dream Direct Specialty Care Practice
Private Practice Made Simple with Tea Nguyen, DPM
You’ve done everything right—
taken courses, read books, even hired consultants—but no matter how hard you work, you’re still stuck. The dream of a thriving private practice with ease, flow, and abundance feels just out of reach. Instead, you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, and wondering why it’s so hard to get to the next level.
I get it—
Hi, I’m Tea, and I’ve been where you are. As an owner of a Direct Specialty Care practice, I know the challenges of building a business that doesn’t just survive but thrives. I also know that success isn’t just about working harder or learning more. It’s about changing the way you think and operate so you can finally break free from the cycle of struggle.
That's exactly why I created the Direct Care Society to help doctors like you get the clarity and confidence to build the business of your dreams. One that is free of insurance where you have the autonomy to run your business your way.
Direct Care is private practice made simple.
Let me show you how an insurance-based practice is no longer a viable long-term option for small business owners.

The common thread is insurance, it's volume-based care.
It's just getting too complicated and too expensive to keep dealing with insurance. So the more patients you see, the more work you have to do to get paid. No wonder private practice owners are burned out!
