No Insurance Needed! Same Day Appointments! Unlimited Visits! Pay Whatever You Can! How Dr. Paulius Mui Is Reinventing Primary Care to Put Patients First

Aug 21, 2025

Episode Description

Dr. Paulius Mui is a family physician, technologist, and community builder who refuses to fit into a single box. Instead of choosing between clinic shifts and tech projects, he’s built a portfolio career that blends patient care, experimentation, and creativity. Most recently, Paulius is reimagining what primary care looks like by launching a direct primary care practice that lets patients pay what they can.

In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker talks with Paulius about why full-time primary care has become nearly impossible and why he has decided to choose mission over money for the benefit of patients and his profession. Paulius’ story offers a blueprint for fellow physicians to break the rules — and build something better.
