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.

  • Find what STD tests you need and get tested.

    Take the questionnaire. It’ll spit out what tests you need. And then it will take you here to find a testing center or order some tests you can do in your home.

    Looks super simple. Highly recommended.

    update: Not available in NY because NY State has laws to prevent people from testing themselves. Our senators would rather pander to the physician and laboratory lobbying groups than allow people to test themselves for their own benefit…as well as the obvious public health benefit. Physicians and labs want to ensure that their profits remain intact. I’d be angry about this if I were you. Also, NY state has laws that prohibit doctors from selling pre-packaged medications. The pharmacy lobbyists also got to our senators to ensure their profits remain intact. I’d be angry about that too.
