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.

  • My Walter Cronkite story

    sharingtime:

    I was backstage at Letterman sometime in 2002. Cronkite would come on the show occasionally as a guest, and the night I happened to be working the door, he was there.

    You could tell he was a nice man by the way he treated the staff. Smiling and shaking hands after his segment, he was about to exit the backstage doors and go back on the street. He paused for a second next to his wife and decided to address the room.

    “I’m getting out of this prohibitionist stronghold and getting myself a drink!” he said triumphantly.

    I still think that’s the coolest thing you can say as you leave a room.
