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.

  • Doctors in America.

    Acute Care (like fixing broken hips) = They’re the World’s Best. Absolutely.

    Chronic Care (like obesity and diabetes) = They’re not the World’s Worst.

    The problem lies in the fact that 75% of healthcare costs come from chronic issues. Are we tackling about 12% of our GDP with the best tools? If we think doctors are the best tools for treating chronic disease, we’ve got serious problems going forward.
