Hi Everyone,
eClinic.com has continued to mature since it’s launch with the
addition of new topics and some exciting physicians waiting to be
filmed. Please check out the site to see some of the other updates we
have made.
We have gotten great response from the physician community. As well
as some feedback that we believe will make the site stronger. We now
hope to continue to grow our traffic.
If you get a chance please follow us at facebook.com/eClinic or
twitter.com/eClinic. We appreciate any word of mouth during this time
as we begin build this community based on medical questions.
Thank you again for your support!
Sincerely,
David Buck, MD, MBA

Dr. David Mischoulon is a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He also is a frequent speaker in Boston and around the country. His specific interests include alternative medical treatments and mental health in minorities. Dr. Mischoulon has even trained as a medical acupuncturist.
His passion for psychiatry is evident whether listening to him speak or having a casual conversation with him. In this series of videos, we worked with Dr. Mischoulon to address the most common questions related to anxiety and depression. We hope to have him back again for additional questions on Psychiatry.
For more information on Dr. David Mischoulon, check out his profile on eClinic.com.
Today we launched the eClinic.com Beta site. It is exciting to finally release the site to the public after so many hours of hard work. This is a site that grew out of an idea in medical school and slowly but steadily turned into eClinic.com.
We are grateful for all the help provided to us by advisors, physicians, and friends. The website was built by electric pulp, who did a fantastic job representing our vision of what a modern, personal health website should be.
We hope this launch is just the beginning for eClinic.com, as we have many ideas on how the website can continue to grow and improve the quality of people’s health.
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions, and we hope that eClinic.com will contribute to your health and well-being.
Sincerely,
David Buck

Dr. Kenney is a gastroenterologist at Carney Hospital in Dorchester Massachusetts where he practices with his two sons, also gastroenterologists. Dr. Kenney was one of the first physicians in the United States to use colonoscopy.
Dr. Kenney is very involved with the teaching program at Carney Hospital. He has been very supportive of eClinic.com and has provided feedback in addition to recording videos.
In this series of videos, Dr. Kenney introduces himself and his practice, and addresses common questions that people often have for a gastroenterologist.
The healthcare profession has lagged behind not only in healthcare IT but also in utilizing existing social technology to communicate with patients. The Internet has not waited for doctors to catch up. Rather than physicians establishing their own online identities, other parties such as rate-a-physician sites have done it for them.
Message boards and rate-a-physician sites have value but at best are incomplete and may give a skewed image. By showing transparently who they are, while at the same time providing information that personally connects with and helps others, doctors, through eClinic, can take control of their own online identity.
Dr. Mark Ostrem is a primary care physician and Geriatrician at Carney Hospital in Dorchester MA. Here, he closely works with residents and participates in teaching rounds at the hospital. We appreciated his enthusiasm and generosity of time with this project.
In this series of videos, he touches on issues that are particularly important to older individuals, as well as questions we may have as our family members become older. His thoughts on end of life care are important issues that we all should take time to consider.
In December, Dr. Lyle Micheli and his staff were gracious enough to invite us to record videos at their office at Children’s Hospital in Boston. Earlier that year I had seen Dr. Micheli give a grand rounds on sports injuries. I enjoyed the presentation very much and was impressed with Dr. Micheli’s knowledge and experience. Even though eClinic.com was not yet completed, I thought he would be a great physician to have on the site and was delighted that he agreed.
Some of the questions presented were picked from topics covered in his books, including the Sports Medicine Bible. So if you are looking for more information on sports medicine you should check them out. Thanks again to Dr. Micheli, and to Maria Maginnis for helping to set this up, and for giving a great start to eClinic.com!
