February 13, 2023

Welcome to another episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast.

In this episode, I get to interview one of my amazing students inside DCS, Dr. Abby.

Dr. Abby Abisogun is a wife, mother, triple board-certified Endocrinologist, Physician coach, and Entrepreneur.

She owns and operates her direct specialty care practice, Shoreline Endocrinology, in Savannah, GA.

Dr. Abby was born in Liberia, West Africa and immigrated to the U.S. with her family to escape the devastating Civil War there.

She grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to the East Coast after high school. She completed her pre-med studies at Loyola University in Baltimore, MD, then went on to earn her medical degree from Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey.

She completed her Internal Medicine residency at Brown University in Providence, RI. While at Brown, she co-founded the Brown Medical Housestaff Association to promote the recruitment, retention, and advancement of underrepresented housestaff through mentorship, networking, and advocacy.

She carried that passion for mentoring and uplifting black and brown physicians right on into fellowship training at Duke University in Durham, NC. Upon completion of her fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, she entered private practice, where she experienced a rude awakening! That Medicine truly is a business.

Dr. Abby found herself working longer and longer hours, constantly buried in charts, managing with incompetent staff and inadequate support. Yet, she was being asked again and again to see even more patients.

After 5 years of the grind, she decided she had had enough. She was either going to practice medicine on her own terms or not at all.

She took the leap and opened her own cash-based specialty practice in November of 2021. She has since gained the freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment that she was missing for 5 years in conventional private practice.

Now, she coaches other black women physicians to start and grow their own profitable direct care practices so that they too can practice medicine on their own terms.

There are so many juicy nuggets from Dr. Abby’s story as I talk to her about how she transitioned into becoming a coach and how she is changing lives through her coaching program.

Let’s get into it.
