Summary

I practice at Crescendo MD, a membership-based medical practice located in Silicon Valley, California.

I am passionate about providing the highest level of personalized medical care for his patients. Crescendo MD facilitates this level of care, which includes giving each of my patients direct 24/7 access including messages, calls, and in-person house calls. My patients find this extremely comforting, especially during times of change such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am also passionate about the intersection of human health and environmental health.

I thrive in an environment of collaborative medicine and delight in joining families as they navigate everything from child development to major illnesses, to exploring the power of individualized care in childhood in order to optimize longevity.

I am a graduate of Princeton University and the University of California at San Francisco. He is currently an Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Along with my wife Cheryl, I helped shape online health through their involvement with many health and health tech ventures starting in 1995 when we founded DrGreene.com, which was cited by the AMA as “the pioneer physician website” and has had over 125 million unique visitors.

In 2016 we adopted an underserved community in Costa Rica and have been providing free medical attention since that time. Cheryl and I are exploring ways for other healthcare professionals to extend their impact in the places of greatest need around the world.

I am a co-founder of the e-Patient movement and served on the board of the Society for Participatory Medicine where I was the founding president. I am a founding partner of The Collaborative on Health and the Environment.

My books include Feeding Baby Green, Raising Baby Green, and From First Kicks to First Steps.
