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 Free Wheelchair Mission: Free Wheelchair Mission is an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing wheelchairs for the impoverished disabled in developing nations. I met Stefan Bucher at Design Indaba last week. He was there speaking about his Daily Monsters. He introduced me to this organization and we think it’s ingenious. We’re big fans of using off the shelf parts to solve the simple problems first. Health doesn’t need to be as complex as it is. It’s mostly about unique thinking for simple solutions that solve 90% of problems for 90% of people. Each wheelchair costs $59.20! Donate a wheelchair here.
