Navigating Healthcare with Compassion feat. Dr. Nicole Rochester

Dr. Nicole Rochester, board-certified pediatrician, TEDx speaker, and CEO of Your GPS Doc, LLC (https://yourgpsdoc.com/) , joins Janelle on this episode of That’s Derm Good! (https://thatsdermgood.com/) for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about what happens when a physician becomes the caregiver, and how that experience can redefine an entire career. After nearly 20 years in pediatrics, Dr. Rochester found herself navigating the healthcare system on behalf of her late father, who lived with multiple chronic conditions. What she witnessed – poor communication, lack of coordination, and glaring disparities in care – opened her eyes to just how hard the system can be to navigate, even for a doctor. That journey led her to create Your GPS Doc, an advocacy and consulting company dedicated to helping patients and families find their way through the healthcare maze.

Dr. Rochester shares her G-P-S framework: Gather information, Position yourself as the expert, and Speak up – a simple but powerful tool for anyone seeking to take ownership of their healthcare journey. They also touch on her transition from medicine to entrepreneurship, her growing work as a coach for physicians exploring new career paths, and the faith and gratitude practices that keep her grounded while balancing multiple roles. ADVERTISER: A message from Sun Pharmaceuticals: For patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma who are not candidates for further surgery or radiation, hedgehog pathway inhibitors offer a targeted systemic approach. Staying current on these therapies can help you expand options for appropriate patients. This conversation is both practical and heartfelt and is a reminder that advocacy isn’t just a profession; it’s a calling to ensure every patient receives the dignity, understanding, and care they deserve.
