FAQ
Honest questions, honest answers.
The questions doctors actually ask us, answered the way we answer them on a call.
Completely Confidential.
One advocate, complete discretion. Built around you, never the hospital, the recruiter, or a vendor.
No commissions. No referral fees. We’re paid by ourmembers and no one else, so nobody pays us to steer you.
Couldn’t I just do this myself?
You could. Plenty of doctors try. On your own, you find, vet, and brief four different professionals, you collect four opinions with nobody owning the whole picture, and the follow-ups land on you between shifts.
With an agent, it is one conversation. Your Doctor-Agent introduces a bench we already trust, holds one plan checked against your goals, and runs the check-ins until every item is done.

Who pays you?
You do, directly. A fee we agree on before anything starts, and nothing else. No commissions, no referral income, no products to sell. When your agent introduces a specialist, nobody is paying us to steer you. That is how the firm is built.
Is my agent really a doctor?
Yes. Every Doctor-Agent is a practicing physician. Your agent has signed the same contracts, weighed the same moves, and does not need medicine explained. Six practicing Doctor-Agents currently represent members.
How is this different from a financial advisor?
A financial advisor manages your money. Your Doctor-Agent manages the whole picture: contracts, legal, insurance, taxes, wealth, the career itself. We coordinate the specialists and sit on your side of the table for all of it. And because we sell no financial products, we can be honest about the ones you are offered.
What about contract review services?
A contract review ends when you sign. Your agent does not. We review and negotiate the contract, then stay in your corner for what comes after: the renegotiation, the next move, the practice, the exit. One agent, your whole career.
Plenty of companies say they do everything for doctors. What’s different here?
Most of them own the services they recommend, or earn commissions from the companies that do. When the person recommending a policy is paid to place it, that is sales, not advice. We do not own the specialists and we do not take their money. We vet them, compare them, and replace them if they stop serving you well.
How confidential is this, really?
Confidential by design, not as a footnote. Your identity stays inside the firm. The content of your engagement is restricted to your Doctor-Agent and one managing partner. You are never shared and never added to a list, and exploring a move never has to look like disloyalty.
Do I have to sit in every meeting?
No. That’s the point. Your agent introduces each vetted specialist once, you sign representation, and from there your agent takes the meetings and reports back. Sit in on as much or as little as you like. The decisions always stay yours.
What does it cost?
We walk through it in your first conversation, and the fee is settled before you commit to anything. No surprises later, and never a commission hiding inside it.
I'm not at a decision point yet. Is it too early?
No. Most engagements start with the problem in front of someone, and plenty start with a question. One message is enough. Calls fit around clinic, not the other way around.
