Are you ready to take control of your healthcare? In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Keith Smith, co-founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and a trailblazer in healthcare price transparency. We dive deep into his journey from working within the traditional healthcare system to becoming a driving force for change in the industry.
Dr. Smith shares his incredible story of breaking away from a system he calls "financially broken" to create something revolutionary: a healthcare model rooted in transparency and free-market principles. We talk about what led him to post surgery prices online (yes, online!), why insurance companies hate his approach, and how his model is proving that better care doesn’t have to mean outrageous costs.
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
- How Dr. Keith Smith's upbringing shaped his mission-driven approach to medicine.
- The moment he decided to walk away from the traditional system and co-found the Surgery Center of Oklahoma.
- How price transparency is empowering patients and creating real competition in healthcare.
- Why the current healthcare system incentivizes inefficiency and higher costs—and what needs to change.
- Practical advice for individuals navigating the healthcare maze.
If you’ve ever wondered why healthcare in the U.S. is so expensive—or what you can do to take back control—this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Smith offers solutions that can truly make a difference, whether you’re a patient, an employer, or someone just trying to understand the system better.
Let’s fix what’s broken together.
