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.

  • Health Blog : Obama Says Single-Payer Health Care Makes Sense

    If there’s anything that could destroy our health care system and make it look even more like the post office, it’s government-run health care.  Why not eliminate the incentives for doctors to practice more care and do costly procedures at the expense of the consumer?  That would be a step in the right direction.  But government run anything is probably the worst solution to anything.  Trust me, I worked at the Maryland State Department of Health.  I saw all kinds of people just dying for the weekend and retirement just doing enough to get by.

    Come on Obama.  You’re smarter than that.
