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.

    The untapped market…

    Someday soon, we’ll unveil our business model.  It’s damn near genius.

    The healthcare industry and the music industry are in the same boat.  Both can be disheveled by technology.  Unfortunately, the healthcare industry has a tight knit group of people in very high places (even this jackass president’s own family) who are making a hell of a lot of money creating new business models that leech off the inefficiencies of the System.  I, of course, don’t see anyone uprooting this $2.3 trillion dollar industry any time soon.  However, even though I can’t save the System (I wouldn’t want to save a dead horse), I can at least save the consumer…and to me, that is the most important.
