A Sacramento native, Dr. Maryal Concepcion (she/her), MD FAAFP, is a Filipinx creator, connector, and rural family physician. She is a mom of two young boys and is married to Jeremiah Fillo, MD also a family physician.
She graduated from UC Davis in 2005 with degrees in Anthropology and Evolution & Ecology, then earned her MD at Creighton University, where she discovered her love for rural family medicine.

In 2021, she opened Big Trees MD, the first DPC in Arnold, CA, beginning as a telemedicine and home-visit micropractice before expanding into a brick-and-mortar space as it grew.
Her social media experience comes from managing the online presence for My DPC Story, found at mydpcstory.com, where she has interviewed hundreds of her DPC colleagues and continues to build a platform to help grow the DPC Movement through education, entertainment, and community engagement.
