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.

    What would exist today vs what would have been delayed for years? At the pace of mobile development prior to the iPhone, how long would it have taken the mobile world to produce the world in which we live today?

    The iPhone leapfrogged our world just a few years back and made it infinitely more interesting. I’m glad to be alive to witness this unprecedented revolution in what it means to be a human. Cheers!
