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.

  • Dr. Cranquis is one of my favorite things on the internet. He’s an urgent care doctor who uses tumblr to answer medical questions from tumblr users. He’s nailing it. He’s funny. He’s knowledgeable. And here he is being interviewed about his site and his life. Enjoy. And please follow him.

Just in time for my 9,000-follower mark: It’s DR. CRANQUIS’ CHRISTMAS SURPRISE: Over an hour of audio-only interview of yours truly (with voice disguised a bit) containing:
on-the-spot answers to reader questions
discussions about telemedicine and whether doctors will be the first to go in a zombie apocalypse
a link to Dr. Cranquis’ personal never-before-shared (because it’s downright bizarre) other Tumblr blog.
Bonus: I sing a song that I wrote for my other blog, near the end of the interview.
Consider this my early Christmas present to all of my Constant Readers. Enjoy!
(and a HUGE thank-you to Addie “tymkrs” for offering me this interview opportunity — what a fun and flattering experience!)
