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.

    Yeah, perfect - something like this is my fav way to introduce high-tech newbies to the world of healthcare. “Dude, this is VAST - imagine THIRTY Microsofts AND thirty Googles.” re the odds of change: consider how much resistance you’d get if you tried to eliminate 10 companies the size of Microsoft and 10 Googles. (That’s what we’re talking about if we succeed in lowering America’s healthcare costs by 1/3, so our per capita costs match the rest of the world).
