Welcome to KevinMD.com, social media’s leading physician voice.
My name is Kevin Pho, and I provide provocative physician commentary on breaking medical news. My internal medicine primary care practice is located in Nashua, New Hampshire.
With health care at the forefront of the American mindset, patients often have little idea what goes on behind the scenes of medicine today.
I aim to pull that curtain back.
The Wall Street Journal calls KevinMD.com a “punchy, prolific blog that chronicles America’s often dysfunctional health care system through the prism of a primary care provider,” and other bloggers have noted that “a lively comment stream on one of Kevin’s posts provides more insight on the day-to-day realities of health care than any piece of journalism can ever hope to impart.”
Voted the best medical blog of 2008, KevinMD.com is the web’s leading physician blog, with over 21,000 RSS subscribers and 16,000 Twitter followers.
Forbes.com hailed KevinMD.com as a “must-read blog,” and CNN.com named @KevinMD as one of its five recommended health care Twitter feeds.
It is cited regularly by major media, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, British Medical Journal, SmartMoney Magazine, The Detroit Free Press, Forbes.com, NPR, LA Times, CNN, Newsweek, and the American Medical News.
On October 2007, I appeared on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric:
