Samuel Warren, MD
Dr. Warren founded Wise Patient in 2011 with the belief that the quality of patient-physician communication is the foundation of the practice of medicine. With time-crunch and other barriers to patient-physician communication so obvious, Dr. Warren strives to restore the patient-physician relationship by scheduling longer appointments and maximizing communication technologies. He believes that patients are better served when they have more physician time. He also believes that the fee-for-service system is misaligned and incentivizes physicians to see more patients instead of prioritizing health outcomes.
My purpose
My purpose when founding Wise Patient was to offer lengthy appointments and unrestricted patient-physician communication between appointments. Soon, I was having these great conversations with my patients about the power of everyday decisions regarding nutrition, fitness, and time-budgeting to improve happiness and lifespan. I knew enough about my patients’ workdays and family life that I could create a mental image of them from where it was they were messaging or calling me. More patients wanted that. More doctors wanted that. Here we are today, using a modest monthly membership fee, paid by patients or their employer, to make it financially sustainable for the clinic.
I love the science of medicine. You’ll find I take a metabolism-centered or mental health-centered view of many medical topics. I am most passionate about longevity, heart disease, blood lipids, nutrition, exercise, time-management, weight loss, anxiety disorders, and the psychology for successful living with chronic disease.
