DoctorBase now in Google Local’s reviews

Jun 01

I may have missed someone, but this makes us the only non-VC funded company (read: Organic) that has been selected to have their healthcare provider reviews be indexed as part of Google’s local reviews. It’s a huge honor and I’m biased of course – but our reviews are verified, accurate, and come backed by an ethical reviews policy – no doorway pages, no “astro-turfed” reviews, no b.s. And we’re glad both the public and Goog appreciate it. We promise to keep the good karma going strong.

A lot of hard work by our engineers, marketing folk, and doctors!

Ride All the Rides!

About Me:

I grew up in beautiful Manhattan Beach, CA. My immigrant parents were small business owners and taught me a lot about being entrepreneurial and community focused. I went on to study Chemistry and Technical Writing at Penn State, UC Berkeley and the University of Memphis - go lions, bears and tigers!

While working at a Fortune 500 company's call center I had an idea which I later turned into Five9. While the idea was easy to dream up, it was the brilliant engineers and managers that made that company the market leader it is today.

The "Eureka moment" came again and we started DoctorBase to help doctors communicate with patients through smart-phones and social media. Without funding, we've become one of the fastest growing Health 2.0 companies servicing thousands of doctors and millions of patients.

In 2011, a fascinating IPv6 software company 6connect asked me to become a co-founder, and we raised financing from my previous VCs at Hummer Winblad who had funded me previously at Five9.

Every day in startups seem like a struggle, but I've come to learn to enjoy being in the race and not stress about the finish line, and to be thankful for the co-workers, investors and customers who have allowed me to make a living doing what I absolutely love -

To build useful things with creative people.
