In this episode of the Fit Rx Health & Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sehreen Mumtaz, MD, founder of Remission Rheumatology.  Dr. Mumtaz is a board-certified rheumatologist who is breaking new ground by offering a direct care membership model in a specialty field—something rarely seen outside of primary care.

We talk about her journey in medicine, what led her to step away from the traditional insurance-based system, and why she believes direct specialty care can transform access and outcomes for patients dealing with complex autoimmune and rheumatologic conditions. Dr. Mumtaz shares the challenges and opportunities of building her practice, how patients benefit from more time, transparency, and affordability, and why she is passionate about pioneering this innovative approach to specialty care.

If you’ve ever wondered what direct care could look like beyond primary care—or you’re curious about how specialists can embrace new models to better serve patients—this is an inspiring and eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss.
