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.

  • Top 10 Most Creative People in Health Care | Fast Company

    I’m honored to be included in a list of such great thinkers. Like Rocky Balboa said last week, revolutionizing healthcare will only come from the ground up as a coordinated effort to change how healthcare is delivered in America. If there are only a finite amount of doctor visits in America per year, how do we maximize those visits and make efficient use of them? This is the topic that Washington is ignoring in their discussions around healthcare reform. It’s tragic…but at the same time, you can’t expect one titanic to change the course of three others. The only solution is a coordinated, integrated, bottom-up fundamental change to what it means to receive healthcare in America…all organized by the internet and a core group of doctors creating an alternative, high-tech, more efficient healthcare system at the fringe of this big, bloated fiasco.
