In this grounded and forward-looking profile, Dr. James Powell shares how connection—not just diagnosis—drives effective primary care. As CEO of DocGo’s Clinical Practice Group, he begins every visit by listening, uninterrupted, for a full minute. That pause, he says, is often the most important part. From setting SMART goals to embracing shared decision-making, Dr. Powell shows how technology and team-based care can free clinicians to do what matters most: listen, guide, and build trust.

DocGo’s Well Child Visits Program brings preventive care directly to families’ doorsteps.
