Dr. Christy Rivers, DO
Board-Certified Pediatrician & Founder, New Way Pediatrics
Dr. Christy Rivers is a board-certified pediatrician and the founder of New Way Pediatrics, an in-home direct care practice based in Corvallis, Oregon. She launched the practice after years in a traditional clinic setting, offering parents monthly memberships, same-day visits, and direct app access to her — essentially DoorDash for pediatrics, except the product is actually a doctor. The episode explored why the classic house call model is making a comeback, what direct care really looks like, and why a parent being told their newborn has a one-year wait for an appointment is not acceptable.
