After completing a residency in pediatrics and one in preventive medicine at Johns Hopkins, I started a practice for my neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2007. People would visit my website; see my Google calendar; choose a time and input their symptoms; my iphone would alert me; I would make a house call; they'd pay me via Paypal; and we'd follow up by email, IM, videochat, or in person.

Fast Company calls me The Doctor of the Future. I've got a design and consulting firm called The Future Well. Read more about me here.

  • I’m speaking at TEDx MidAtlantic on Saturday in DC. The cast of The Wire is also speaking, which means I get to have dinner with Omar Friday night. I know it’s cliched to say that The Wire is my favorite show, but it is. I lived in Baltimore during the time they were filming it and my building is in too many scenes to count. The last week I lived in Baltimore, I saw three people die outside my window and had my moving truck stolen. But I love Baltimore. Not enough to live there, just enough to say I lived there.
