With years of academic and clinical experience, Dr. Shilesh Iyer is a distinguished dermatologist treating patients at the New York Dermatology Group. In an effort to utilize technology to improve the patient-doctor relationship, Dr. Shilesh Iyer co-founded MyDoqter, Inc.

MyDoqter is an online physician-led platform that facilitates interaction between doctors and patients. Dubbed a professional-social or “procial” network, MyDoqter connects patients with the most suitable physicians in the United States. The platform provides various benefits for both physicians and patients.

Patient benefits include access to the latest medical research and news as well as health tips from qualified physicians. Unlike patients who browse the Internet for doctor recommendations, MyDoqter patients can easily find highly trained physicians whose credentials are transparently indicated on the platform.

For physicians, MyDoqter is a valuable opportunity to market their practice. They can share their clinic information, credentials, and media appearances to create an effective profile for potential patients. Additionally, physicians can implement the platform’s peer review system to establish credibility for themselves and for their colleagues. MyDoqter also enables physicians to receive direct payments to their bank accounts via the digital payment wallet.
