Dr. Shar Najafi-Piper, PhD | The Doctor Who Became a CEO featured on Pain Doctor
In May, our CEO Dr. Shar Najafi-Piper, PhD was invited to be a guest on the Pain Doctor podcast.
On this podcast they discuss, what happens when a psychologist decides one patient at a time just isn't enough? In this episode of Doctors Unscripted, CEO Dr. Justin Thompson sits down with Dr. Shar Najafi-Piper, CEO of Roya Health, to explore what it really looks like when clinical expertise meets entrepreneurship and what that means for the future of children's behavioral health. From her unexpected path into psychology to building one of Arizona's most innovative pediatric behavioral health companies, Dr. Najafi brings a perspective that is equal parts clinician and CEO.
They also dive into: Why kids with complex care needs are falling through the cracks The real relationship between chronic pain and mental health What entrepreneurs get wrong about burnout and work life balance How to navigate the healthcare system if your child needs behavioral health support The mindset shift every leader needs to sustain long term success This conversation is for anyone in healthcare, entrepreneurship, or anyone who has ever wondered if the system is actually built to help people.
