From Launching Rockets to Launching a Direct Care Dermatology Practice | Miguel Villacorta, DO, MPH, FAAD

Episode 018 | Building a successful direct care dermatology practice may not be rocket science, but even if it was, Dr. Miguel Villacorta would still crush it. He's one of my heroes in direct care dermatology, and I can't wait for you to learn from him.Dr. Villacorta is a board-certified dermatologist, the visionary founder of Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, and an advocate for transformative healthcare. He holds a degree in Osteopathic Medicine and a Master’s in Public Health, which underpin his mission to revolutionize the patient experience through compassionate, high-quality care. His innovative approach led to the establishment of South Florida’s first direct care dermatology service and the pioneering of a joint direct primary care and dermatology clinic.Before embarking on his medical journey, Dr. Villacorta's eclectic career spanned from engineering to entrepreneurship. He assisted in the launch of space shuttle missions 104 and 105 as an electrical engineer at NASA and honed his industrial engineering skills at UPS. As the director of business development for JET Group, Inc., his strategic insights propelled the company to twice rank in the INC5000.Dr. Villacorta's patient-first approach is driven by a commitment to transform the healthcare experience. He aims to provide high-quality, individualized care, upholding the highest standards of respect and dignity for patients and healthcare providers alike. Influenced by his summers in rural Spain, he brings a sense of community and personal touch to his practice.Away from work, Dr. Villacorta values family time with his wife and children and engages in cooking, travel, and tennis, activities that complement his dedication to a balanced lifestyle.Please note -- this episode was recorded a few months ago.
