Show Notes

Centering Primary Care with Humility, Respect and Compassion

Your primary care doctor isn’t just someone who treats symptoms—they can be your most consistent partner in health. In this insightful episode, Dr. Carl Earl Lambert Jr. shares why he chose family medicine: to build long-term, meaningful relationships with his patients rooted in trust, respect, and empathy.

Dr. Lambert introduces his “check in and check in often” approach and explains how curiosity, humility, and shared decision-making shape every patient interaction. By focusing on open, two-way communication—not just between doctor and patient, but across the entire care team—he creates a space where patients feel heard, empowered, and truly involved in their care journey.

Listen in as Dr. Lambert explores what it means to co-create care plans that align with patients’ goals, values, and lived experiences—and how centering humanity in health care leads to stronger relationships and better outcomes.
