-: We within Optum have a voice,
and I like that the business of Optum,
which is in the business of caring,
doesn't tell us doctors really what to do,
because they're not in my head examining that patient
to know exactly what should happen at that moment.
So it gives me the authority and the ability
to practice medicine
the way I'm supposed to practice medicine.
Optum encourages people to be efficient
and not overdoing procedures, overdoing things,
not ordering unnecessary tests.
So you're gonna work with that patient
to optimize their healthcare.
Optum has benefited the patient
by providing this seamless kind of care.
I've learned to make the practice very personal.
We take care of our patients
and we go overboard to make sure they're comfortable
with the advice we've given them.
Our patients know that whatever we say
is coming from an area deep in us
that really is interested in them seeking better care.
