Radiology direct care model with Dr. Cristin Dickerson

In this episode of the Stellar Success Podcast, Dr. Tudor Francu sits down with Dr. Cristin Dickerson, a radiologist and the founder of Green Imaging, to discuss a game-changing approach to medical imaging. Dr. Dickerson shares how she went from a physician who wanted nothing to do with the business side of medicine to leading a nationwide effort to provide affordable, high-quality radiology services through direct care models.

She walks us through her journey in radiology, her leadership roles, and how she discovered a major gap in accessible imaging. Seeing the flaws in traditional insurance-driven models, she pioneered a direct contracting system that saves patients and employers millions of dollars while ensuring top-tier care.

We also dive into:

✅ Why direct primary care and direct contracting are the future of medicine
✅ The business side of healthcare that doctors are often unprepared for
✅ How legal and financial awareness can protect physicians' careers
✅ Strategies for medical professionals to create additional income streams

Dr. Dickerson also shares valuable career advice for physicians who want to transition into leadership, business, or direct care models. Whether you’re a doctor looking for alternative career paths or a patient interested in affordable medical imaging, this episode is packed with insights.
