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.

  • Red Dawn. Friday Night. My backyard.

    Movie Night #3.

    When I was a kid, my grandparents lived in Bull Shoals, Arkansas. I always spent a month or so down there every summer. I don’t think my grandpa ever bought any meat in his life. He killed it himself mostly from a tree and always with a bow and arrow.

    When I was six or seven, I remember my grandpa taking me out into the woods of Arkansas for a few days to “teach me how to live off the land…because someday you’re going to have to know.” This statement referred to the Cold War potential invasion.

    And then I saw Red Dawn when I was 10 or so…

    He’s still climbing trees and shooting things with his bow and living off the land at age 90. And now I live in NYC and can live stream Red Dawn.
