In this powerful episode of The Physician’s Mind, we sit down with Dr. Jordan Frey, a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of The Prudent Plastic Surgeon, to unpack the financial blueprint that took him from burnout and a negative net worth to complete financial freedom.
Dr. Frey shares the exact strategies that helped him and his wife pay off debt fast, achieve a 50–60% savings rate as new attendings, and build long-term wealth — all without sacrificing their happiness or family life. We discuss budgeting, real estate investing, intentional goal-setting, and the mindset shift required to escape the rat race of modern medicine.
Whether you're a med student drowning in loans, a resident feeling stuck, or an early-career physician searching for autonomy and peace, this episode delivers the financial education you never got in medical school — but desperately need.
