Pediatrician Fresh Out of Med School

Upon entering her career in the medical field, pediatrician Dr. Maria Gonzalez struggled to find the balance between her financial habits and the burden of student loans. She had planned on leaving her emergency ward position in pursuit of a less chaotic atmosphere in private practice, but wasn’t sure where to start until a colleague encouraged her to seek financial counseling.

With the guidance of Physician Financial Planning, Dr. Gonzalez learned how to strategically invest in her stock market portfolio and establish an impressive savings account—without cutting into her budget or depriving herself of what she wants. With her finances in our hands, Dr. Gonzalez has been able to mitigate her financial stress and focus more on caring for her patients and searching for a practice to partner with.
