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.

    There are some gems in here:

    “A new study has shown that exercise is just as effective a cure for depression as paxil and zoloft…So ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you.”

    “There is a point where even the most universal government health program can’t help you…they can’t outlaw unhealthy food, alcohol, or cigarettes (just pot)…because the government isn’t your nanny, they are your dealer. And they subsidize illness in America. Because you see there’s no money in healthy people. And there’s no money in dead people. The money is in the middle. People who are alive…sort of. But with one or more chronic conditions that puts them in need of Celebrex, Nasonex and Valtrex.”

    “In Hillary Clinton’s health plan, the words nutrition and exercise appear once…the word drugs, 14 times. Just as the pharmaceutical companies want it.”
