Pinnacle Business Academy helps physicians gain clarity, strategically position themselves, and pivot into fulfilling opportunities — without abandoning everything they've built.
I'm Dr. Bertina Hooks — a board-certified Internal Medicine physician, entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster, and the founder of Pinnacle Business Academy. I understand firsthand what it means to feel trapped in a career that no longer fits who you are becoming.
After years of clinical medicine, telehealth executive leadership, and navigating my own reinvention — through burnout, disability, and significant personal transformation — I created Pinnacle Business Academy to support physicians who are ready to move beyond survival mode.
My coaching is grounded in real clinical experience, strategic business thinking, and the lived reality of what it takes to build a more aligned, sustainable career in medicine and beyond.
