Episode 133: Dr. Adelola Ashaye of InTouch Primary Care - Sugar Land, TX
Dr. Adelola Ashaye is a Board Certified Family Physician and Lifestyle Medicine Physician. Her interest in the medical field was first sparked when she was in high school, by her observation of a patient-doctor relationship.
Many years have passed since that interaction which took place at Alpena General Hospital in Michigan, and it is the desire to build and maintain meaningful long-lasting relationships that continues to draw her to medicine.
After graduating high school, she went on to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where she obtained a B.S. in Cognitive Science and Biopsychology. Then, she graduated from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago IL with a Medical Degree. She completed her residency in 2010 at MacNeal Family Medicine Residency, affiliated with the University of Chicago IL.
In this episode...
Dr. Ashaye reveals that her experiences with patients receiving inadequate care led her to question her purpose in medicine. She felt frustrated by the lack of effective follow-up and wanted to make a more significant impact. Discovering the Direct Primary Care model aligned with her vision of providing better care based on relationships and patient choice, regardless of insurance status or employment.
She acknowledges the limitations of fee-for-service care, where patients' insurance changes or losses can disrupt continuity. The Direct Primary Care model offered a solution that allowed her to provide the type of care she had envisioned when she became a doctor.
