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.

  • Our current healthcare “system” is not aligned with your desire to be healthy.

    Every person who wants to be healthy does not support the business model of our current healthcare industry. The more they prevent and the more healthy you are, the less they make.

    The main goal of our healthcare industry is to profit off your lack of health.

    If you support an industry that is diametrically opposed to your own personal well-being, throw your support at mandates and “coverage for all.”

    If you support an industry that profits off your health, do everything you can to stop sustaining health care reform and do your best to find and support healthcare from a System that profits off your health, rather than your illness.

    In the coming months, I will do my best to organize these people and companies for you so you can wisely support people and institutions that align with our common interest of the pursuit of health and happiness.

      So true. It’s should not be a for profit industry. There are certain basic rights. Health is one of them.
