What separates the good from the great? The standard from the extraordinary?
It’s not just skill. It’s not just knowledge.
It’s a mindset. It’s execution. It’s the relentless pursuit of growth.
And that’s exactly what The One Percent Doctor is all about.

Each week, we sit down with elite doctors—the top one percent—trailblazers in their fields, pioneers in practice growth, and leaders redefining success in medicine.
We go beyond the white coat… into the decisions, discipline, and defining moments that shaped their journey.
Because behind every great doctor is a visionary, a leader, and a risk-taker.
