In Their Own Words

Physician testimonials, from residency and from acquisition

Whether you're just finishing training or considering selling your existing practice, here's what USDP physicians say the transition actually looked like.

Daniel Walker, MD

10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY · GRAPEVINE, TX

USDP has been his first and only job out of residency — treated with respect from day one, and given the tools to practice according to his own values.

He's watched the organization grow substantially without compromising patient care, and calls his corporate colleagues true friends after a decade.

Dustin Wilkes, DO

10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY · WEATHERFORD, TX

Over the past decade, his practice expanded into Granbury, Mineral Wells, Graham, and Stephenville — bringing dermatologic care directly into rural communities.

He's proud of the team built and the patients served, and looks forward to continuing that mission.

Ali Theriault, MD

DENVER, CO · ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGIONAL PRESIDENT

Vetted four potential partners before choosing USDP for its physician expertise, strong physician-to-APP ratio, and commitment to employee welfare.

Now practices high-quality, evidence-based medicine free of daily management responsibilities, with full clinical autonomy respected.

John Biltz, MD

CORSICANA, TX

Joined USDP to align with his values on patient care and physician leadership — and to bring Mohs surgery to Corsicana, sparing patients the drive to Dallas.

Since joining, operational support has let him stay focused on medicine while strengthening the practice's role in the community.

Howard Luber, MD

ARIZONA · 12-PHYSICIAN PRACTICE, JOINED 2017

After private equity approaches raised concerns, USDP stood out for prioritizing quality of care above all else — with clinics that ran free of management interference.

Four more Arizona practices followed. Centralized departments have since improved efficiency and outcomes for providers and patients alike.

Tom Hall, MD

NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA · STILLWATER + 5 TOWNS

Regulatory burden — PQRS/MIPS, OSHA, CLIA — was pulling time from clinical focus. Partnering with USDP let him expand access across underserved northwest Oklahoma.

The practice now offers local Mohs surgery, sparing patients the trip to Oklahoma City or Tulsa.

Derek Towery, MD

JOPLIN, MO

Sold his practice to strengthen its long-term financial stability and open the door to recruitment and expansion for the community.

The move reduced administrative burden while preserving the physician-focused culture he'd built.
