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.

  • Something lovely happened today.

    It was our first Hello Health meetup (aka Hello Health University) where we met in person with doctors who are ready to be part of our inaugural team. In other words, a group of awesome docs looking to go out on their own, provide good old fashioned healthcare for their patients, and make a living…all powered by Hello Health.

    It was a varied mix of local primary care doctors with a good portion of specialists. It’s a real healthcare network forming from the ground up…virtually but organized and connected via the internet rather than old-fashioned, institutional brick and mortar. And we’re getting ready to turn it on for the rest of the country. It’s going to be an interesting year. Lots of learning. Lots of creating. And lots of change happening on the sidelines of a traditional healthcare system that’s destined to implode. And we’re just laying the groundwork for something much, much better.
