Recent Reviews
  • EBsmoov
    Love it!
    I love this podcast! It is my go-to during exercise, walks, or downtime. So timely and relevant to the practice of Family Medicine. The info is always helpful. It’s an excellent source of ongoing learning and CME credits. Thank you for doing such a great job at providing useful and reliable practice information on a regular basis. Sincerely, Eric B. Samuel, M.D. Family Physician
  • Sandhya21
    Helpful but would like to hear from physician experts
    Generally find these podcasts helpful and appreciate them. Rather than seeing NP and PAs presenting medicine topics, would love to see physicians specialists discuss subject matter in detail.
  • one owl
    CME
    Extremely pertinent for this FP, nearly retired. Can listen while on my walk, re-listen if needed, almost always a useful pearl, likeable thoughtful self-aware hosts
  • ADK 80
    Great content
    The duration allows me to listen to 1-2 podcasts during my daily commute- with excellent content that I can apply to my daily practice .
  • Vikkattiyya
    Informative, short & likeable
    I look forward to these efficient and informative podcasts. The host shares the floor well with his guest experts in addition to his humble personal experiences and anecdotes.
  • Obezorn
    Love this podcast!
    Great to listen for a refresher or new information. I enjoy the short but informative information provided.
  • looma3
    Amazing!
    I am a new NP to family practice and I started listening a couple weeks ago during my commute to and from work—I have learned SO much and I look forward to it every day. I love that there are so many episodes and they cover so many different topics! These have been SO useful to me. So grateful I found this! Highly recommend.
  • the_petite_PA
    The best
    I’m a new PA in family medicine, and so obviously there’s still so much more for me to learn. I love how this podcast is so easy to listen to when I’m on my way to work or at the gym. I learn something new every time and I have been implementing Dr. Domino’s recommendations into my everyday practice. I’ve listened to every single podcast, and some more than once (the honey and acute back pain ones are my faves). Thank you, Dr. Domino and team for enlightening me everyday and for allowing me to use this in my practice! I will always be a loyal listener. Take care and God bless.

    Evidence Based Medicine
    Enjoy listen to evidence medicine as I drive to work daily...helps me to stay updated. I LOVE the PRACTICE POINT....gives me the take away point.
  • vcarrejo
    Great evidence based quick listen
    This podcast is great! My only complaint is that the sound is very difficult to hear with many episodes. Dr Domino is hard to hear and guest speakers are much louder.
  • bb2121bb
    Great podcast!
    Look forward to this automatic download every single week! Love being able to drive into the office listening to something so interesting!
  • AdamMadeleineAdeleine
    Overall good, but...
    Thanks for the podcast, I like the format and length. I would appreciate more citations of the evidence and more conversations with physicians experienced in the topics presented. And the podcast overall is SO quiet! Please rework the sound/mic settings because it’s difficult to hear at anything but maximum volume. Thanks so much!
  • Faroooqin
    Would be great to have more distinguished guests
    Please invite board certified physicians who can add to the listeners knowledge.
  • Annoyed167346
    Poor perimenopausal depression episode
    It’s just one episode - and I’m just a depressed perimenopausal woman, but even I can tell that much of the episode contradicts or misconstrues the guidelines it cites. Particularly regarding HRT. ***Please just read the guidelines directly*** Also idiosyncratically emphasizes lifestyle treatments not discussed in guidelines and ignores important recommendations which are in guidelines (e.g. differential diagnosis).
  • joemel33
    Love podcast, can you post references?
    Hi Frank, I love your podcast. I’m a family medicine physician in NJ and it’s always nice to hear about new treatment options for patients. Can you post references within your podcast, specifically the studies that you have your guests mentioned? That would be of great help.
  • Liz Quinn MD
    Easy to listen to, valuable and concise.
    Authoritative evidence based source.
  • maine doc
    Excellent podcast
    As a family physician I find these podcasts a great way to hear practical discussions on the latest research that I can directly apply to patient care.
  • Millak47
    Perfect 10 minute episodes
    Just discovered this little gem. Digestible evidence based medicine episodes. No rambling or chit chat. But also well rounded. Thank you!
  • Freakinstopit
    Disingenuous
    Just listened to the artificial sweetener podcast - data is strongly presented as causation when even the authors of the paper itself, "sugar and artificially sweetened beverages and the risks of incident stroke and dementia", state that it cannot be concluded as causation! DMII pts were not controlled for in the study. Yeesh. He goes on to explain the MOA of artificial sweeteners when this is absolutely not fully known. Boy, my expectations for this podcast were high, especially coming from Pri-med, but were sadly not met. Very disappointed.
  • Flojomojo111
    Sounds needs to be better
    The content is great and so are the speakers, but it sounds like they are both underwater. The person who introduces them at the beginning has great sound but then Frank starts talking and i have to turn it way up to hear it all clearly. Please use the appropriate equipment for better sound. Will still continue to listen. Thank you for this content!
  • Akuchie
    Thank you
    Great podcast!
