Dr. Marcelo Hochman is a well-known speaker and double Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon on a mission to build better medicine for patients and doctors, not just better business.
It’s time to put the power of choice back into the hands of patients and physicians and disrupt the controlling and limiting healthcare bureaucracy.
Book Dr. Hochman
Certificate of Need laws across the country favor large, multi-billion-dollar hospital corporations and continue to hurt patients while skyrocketing healthcare costs and revoking patient and doctor choice to receive and deliver excellent care.
Economic credentialing and non-compete clauses stifle the power of patient and doctor choice. Prohibiting these destructive practices leads to better patient care.
Dr. Hochman pursues legislation that provides tax incentives for doctors who provide pro-bono, charitable medical care, and surgical procedures.
"Everyone deserves the freedom to make choices for their own care and practice. By improving options in healthcare today, we will create better medicine and better physicians in every community."

As the current President of IndeDocs, Dr. Marcelo Hochman protects and promotes the independent practice of medicine to
improve patient experiences
and ensure that patients and physicians have
alternatives
and access to
high-quality, doctor-driven care.
When general practitioners and specialists become employees of larger systems rather than practicing independently, the result is fragmented care, severe cost increases, and enforcement of hospital directives instead of patient focus. Additionally, the leading cause of physician burnout is bureaucratic overload and loss of autonomy.
IndeDocs unites tenured colleagues with doctors-in-training to provide
valuable advocacy, assistance, and continued education
, protecting the interests of doctors and patients into the future and building better medicine.

Invite Dr. Hochman to speak to your audience to challenge the current hospital-enriching system and partner in healthcare reform.
"The bottom line is this: patients should have the ability to choose their doctors as well as where they receive their healthcare. Physicians should be able to practice where they wish and provide the services for which they are medically qualified. The real goal of healthcare policy should not be maximizing a hospital's financial health; it should be to enable the doctor-patient relationship to flourish on the patients' terms."
