Ep.24 - Erez Druk I Healthcare Journeys I S2M Health Podcast
Meet Erez Druk.
Erez Druk is the CEO of Freed, a company emerging as a lifeline for independent medical practices at a time when clinicians are under unprecedented pressure.
Through ongoing conversations with small and independent providers, Erez has seen a powerful shift taking place. While administrative burden and burnout continue to push many clinicians to the brink, technology—when designed with empathy—is helping restore what matters most: time, focus, and human connection inside small clinics.
Under his leadership, Freed’s AI assistant is now used by thousands of clinicians who are reclaiming hours once lost to nightly documentation. Some practices have gone from seriously considering closure to rediscovering stability and growth, simply by changing how they manage charts and clinical notes. What’s unfolding is more than operational efficiency—it’s a ripple effect improving clinician well-being, family life, and the sustainability of independent care.
That impact was recently reinforced when Freed raised $30 million from Sequoia and other world-class investors, a milestone driven not by hype, but by the voices of clinicians themselves. Investors heard directly from doctors who credit Freed with changing their daily reality, from the team behind the product who work relentlessly to reduce clinician workload, and from early believers who saw the vision from day one. The funding now enables Freed to continue building what Erez describes as the most clinician-focused company in healthcare.
In this episode of Healthcare Journeys, Erez shares what he’s seeing on the front lines of independent care, how AI is quietly reshaping clinician workflows, and why restoring time and relationships may be the most important innovation healthcare needs right now.
