The book is written from the DPC physician perspective and the DPC physician is the main focus to learn how to approach employers, work with them and their benefits advisors.

Julie K Gunther, MD, FAAFP explains why she had to leave her job within the healthcare system to do the work she trained to do. In 2014, Dr. Gunther sold her home, her truck, moved her family, learned all about SBA loans, bought a building and opened sparkMD, an independent direct primary care (DPC) practice. Peppered with personal anecdotes, shared leanings, spreadsheets, cautionary tales, resource lists and more, this guide outlines how to start your own direct primary care (DPC) clinic in twenty clear steps. Part memoir, part business tome, this ‘how to guide’ illustrates how one physician left the system, went out on her own and started taking care of patients in a simplified, back-to-basics health care model.
