Don’t just survive. Thrive.
Physician Wellness Meets Financial Planning
We became physicians to live by our values. Too many of us don’t.
Our altruism is exploited by a broken system that rewards revenue over healthier communities. We face moral injury every time we are forced to serve ever more patients with ever fewer resources. We’ve lost the ability to prioritize our health, marriage, and families as highly as our patients.
DocEmpowered has a singular purpose: give doctors the financial power to serve their patients, families, and communities on their own terms. I help fellow physicians master their finances as a tool to regain autonomy, create sustainability and return balance to their lives. If you are ready to flip the script and win at life, let’s create a plan together to make it happen.
Services
DocEmpowered’s process is designed to educate, coach, and mentor you until you become the role model other physicians turn to for advice on not just money – but a life well lived. No minimum net worth or financial knowledge necessary.
DocEmpowered Foundation
Our 12-week physician-specific process that forms the cornerstone of our next-gen financial planning model.
DocEmpowered Premium
An optional add-on service designed for results-oriented physicians who want guidance, accountability, and mentorship as they implement their DocEmpowered Foundation plan.
DocEmpowered Master
An optional add-on service designed for DocEmpowered Premium veterans who are far more financially empowered, don’t need nearly as much help and want to be rewarded with a massive discount in financial planning fees.
Meet Stan
A husband and father dedicated to the wellbeing of my Baltimore community, I am also a practicing part-time cardiologist, a medical educator, and an advocacy leader for physicians in Maryland. Financial wellbeing empowered my family to align our careers and lives with our values, and I founded DocEmpowered to help fellow physicians discover that same power for themselves.
