How a second opinion can change a life

Healthcare doesn't move forward because someone works harder.

It moves forward because someone sees a problem others have accepted and decides to solve it.

In this episode of Doctors of Change, JR Burgess sits down with Dr. Joe Simon to discuss the journey from clinician to entrepreneur, the leadership lessons that come from building and scaling healthcare businesses, and why innovation often begins by questioning the way things have always been done.

From creating better patient experiences to launching a nationwide second opinion platform, Dr. Simon shares the decisions, mindset shifts, and practical habits that have shaped his career over the past two decades.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

The business lesson Joe learned outside healthcare that still influences his decisions today
The leadership question that changed the way he viewed his role as a CEO
How one family's experience inspired a new solution for patients seeking greater confidence in their care
Why AI is creating an opportunity for independent practice owners willing to adapt
A simple daily habit Joe credits with years of steady growth
What happens when you stop treating every problem as a clinical problem and start building systems to solve it
