On today’s show I sat down with Jeff Williams and Dr. Eric Inman, co-founders of WellBridge Surgical in Indianapolis.

They discuss their journey from childhood classmates to healthcare innovators, aiming to make surgical care more accessible with transparent pricing.

Our conversation covers their early friendship, the founding and process of building their surgery center, challenges faced, the current state of healthcare costs and the vision to potentially alter the healthcare landscape.
