Dr. Maurice Pearl, DC talks to Dr. Justin Trosclair DC on A Doctor's Perspective Podcast

Dr. Maurice Pearl, DC discusses his past interdisciplinary clinic experience. What does the professional organization  ACA do, choose wisely for x-rays, insurance drama and a surprising reason for kids sports. Is community outreach good marketing?

Dr. Pearl was a football player with a few injuries and he learned first hand how important it is to go to a doctor who has the extra skills for your particular case.

He also made a point to shadow a surgeon (his original plan) and he discovered that ‘on call’ lifestyle was not for him. Have you shadowed any other fields before picking yours?

What does an integrated MD, PT, DC practice look like, how’s it run and the chiros duties?

What does reaching out and being a part of a community look like for his marketing strategy?  Do the patients have to pay multiple co-pays if they see different doctors in the same visit?

Insurance can be such a hassle, how does he handle it? How can insurance pay out different payments for the same code that a PT and a DC are both qualified to perform?

What does the ACA do for the profession? The big push right now in ACA is Medicare equality, what is that? Where do the funds go?  Is it all for fighting insurance companies or does the money go to support all the chiropractors out there?

Does the ACA push to expand the chiropractic scope of practice into drugs? Are they trying to stomp out the super straight chiros?

What’s your opinion on Choose Wisely and the use of x-rays for low back pain? We discuss pros and cons of the that x-ray issue.

When discussing the flaws of medicine, how can work place breaks and asking the right questions about home life actually benefit the patient and drive costs down?

With a properly trained DC and PT you wouldn’t know which is which…. Who said it first?

Benefits of his kids playing sports …what could those be?
