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.

  • Hello Health clinics would offer medical care online - The Boston Globe

    Nice article written about us in this weekend’s Boston Globe.

    I need to clarify one thing though. When we launch Hello Health this summer as a platform to other doctors all over the US, we’re giving the doctors total freedom to charge whatever they want. It will be free for patients to create accounts on Hello Health. Doctors have choices in their profile settings:

    • How much do I charge per hour?
    • How much do I charge per month to be a member of my practice?

    Therefore, it’s total scalability and total freedom for doctors.

    Also, we’re not franchising at this point. Most of the 2300 docs who have contacted us already have a practice or want to start their own from scratch. We’re providing some guidelines about how to make your office pretty and consumer friendly, but that’s about it. It’s about the platform. Not about the space.
