Now and then we publish an interview with one of our many ZocDoc patients. If you’d like to be one of the patients profiled in this interview, just send us an email at patientfile@zocdoc.com.

How old are you? 22 (Almost 23!)

What do you do? I’m a serial entrepreneur.

How did you find out about ZocDoc? Google search

What is the longest you’ve waited in a doctor’s waiting room? About two hours.

What do you think is the secret to a long (and happy) life? Putting your own well-being and happiness above all else. Happiness is contagious and will positively impact those around you.

Do you remember how you lost your first tooth? My mom tricked me by saying she was going to just look at my nasty rotten front tooth but instead she pulled it out. Our relationship hasn’t been the same ever since (jk).

Do you have any interesting scars? How did you get them? I was born in the USSR and came into this world with a relatively large birthmark on my left hip–for some reason the doctors thought it would be a good idea to burn off the “ugly mark” with DRY ICE. Not kidding. I have a 4 inch scar on my left hip from their amazing reasoning skills.

What do you do to stay healthy? Drinks lots of coffee, drive with the sun roof
constantly open and follow a strict bacon-only low-carb diet.

Would you make it through medical school? Please, I dropped out of college to start my first company at age 19. Five successful companies later, I think I made a good decision.

What’s your favorite healthy food? Cucumbers. Hands down.

Did you ever fake being sick as a child? I hated school with a passion so yes, all
the time.

Have you ever saved someone’s life? Yes, I convinced someone not to order a durian flavored bubble tea from Quickly. Have you ever tried those things? So nasty it should be illegal.

Has anyone ever had to save your life? No.

Finish this sentence: [Ignoring all your problems and hoping they will go away on their own]…..keeps the doctor away!
