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.

  • Looks like doctors will be dropping out of government healthcare in droves as of today.

    Congress just “awarded” physicians who accept Medicare a 21% decrease in reimbursement fees. In effect, their salary decreased by 21% today. This is huge. Say hello to a very large stimulus in a two-tiered cash-based system in the US. There will be doctors who take insurance. But the best doctors will simply refuse to take insurance and Medicare and instead only take cash.
