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.

  • Why I write (blog).

    1. Sheer egoism: Desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, to get your own back on the grown-ups who snubbed you in childhood, etc., etc.
    2. Aesthetic enthusiasm: Perception of beauty in the external world, or, on the other hand, in words and their right arrangement.
    3. Historical impulse: Desire to see things as they are, to find out true facts and store them up for the use of posterity.
    4. Political purpose: Desire to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other peoples’ idea of the kind of society that they should strive after.

    Thank you George.
