Episode 46

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Daniel Paull, orthopedic surgeon and founder of Easy Orthopedics in Colorado Springs. After a skiing accident at 14 sparked his passion for medicine, Dr. Paull spent years grinding through the traditional system — until an existential crisis mid-fellowship pushed him to quit, move into his in-laws’ basement, and build one of the most unconventional orthopedic practices in the country: mobile, cash-based, insurance-free, and just two people.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Mobile, Insurance-Free Model Works: Dr. Paull built a thriving orthopedic practice with no office, no insurance contracts, and no outside billing — just him, his wife, and a direct relationship with patients. Six years in, he’s proof the model is sustainable and replicable.
  • Time Is the Missing Ingredient in Medicine: You can’t compress care down infinitely without losing quality. Dr. Paull’s definition of prime health centers on time-based medicine — doctors spending real, unhurried time with patients is the simplest shift that improves outcomes.
  • Quitting the Right Things Is a Superpower: He quit his fellowship halfway through — something almost no one does. His insight: the most successful people quit what isn’t working, reshuffle their priorities, and find a better path to winning.
  • Don’t Let Anyone Bill on Your Behalf: His top business advice — remove every middleman from your revenue. When you control your billing and eliminate insurance company interference, you protect your income, your practice, and your integrity.
  • Creativity and Risk Tolerance Are All You Need: To build a practice like his, you don’t need a huge team or a big budget — just creativity, willingness to take risk, and patience to survive the early lean months.
