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.

  • texturism: beautiful. I spent a month working in the Pediatric Oncology unit at Brooklyn Hospital during my peds residency at the now deceased St. Vincents Hospital in the West Village. Those kids will forever change the way you view the world. They’re full of life when death can be so close for them. They don’t know exactly what’s happening to them, they just want to experience the world like any other child and have fun. Sometimes I wish we all had to go through that as children just to gain some perspective about how beautiful, challenging, and complex life can be.

    beautiful.
