Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Vera Oyabure.
Dr. Oyabure, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Since the age of five, I have always known I wanted to be a doctor. During medical school, I decided to specialize in family medicine, which would give me the opportunity to serve people and establish lasting doctor-patient relationships, which is the backbone of primary care.
Having gone through the rigorous clinical and hospital training during residency, I decided to initially become a hospitalist, attending to more complex and acute medical conditions in a hospital environment. Over the years, I gained significant and valuable experience as a hospitalist.
However, as a hospitalist, I found the value in proactive primary care, which can help improve overall patient wellbeing, reduce hospitalizations and ER visits, which have become a huge cost burden on patients. Hence, I decided to return to my passion – primary care.
I decided that opening a traditional primary care that just moved people through an assembly line was not the way to serve and foster quality doctor-patient relationships and so I decided to start a direct primary care (DPC) practice. Direct primary care, also known as concierge medicine, ensures I can have a smaller volume of patients and I am able to dedicate more time to the patients under my care.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has been easy because to follow your passion is to take all that goes with it. I would not trade this journey for anything. The lives that have been touched and the patients God has blessed me with makes the pursuit well worth it.
