About KevinMD
I started KevinMD in 2004. I still see patients in primary care, and I always have. That is the thing that keeps the platform honest.
The belief behind KevinMD is simple: Stories change medicine. When clinicians, patients, and caregivers can talk honestly about what they see, the conversation about health care gets better.
KevinMD.com is a physician-led media platform where physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, medical students, and patients share their stories and perspectives on health care. Since 2004, KevinMD has published more than 45,000 essays from over 8,500 contributors. The site draws over 7 million page views a year, and its newsletter reaches more than 100,000 subscribers twice a week. More than 500,000 people follow KevinMD across social media. Forbes called it a “must-read health blog.” The New York Times described it as “a highly coveted publishing place for doctors and patients.”
KevinMD covers what is actually happening in medicine: clinical practice, patient experience, policy, technology, education, and the realities of physician life.
When COVID-19 hit, frontline clinicians used KevinMD to tell the country what they were seeing. Traffic ran 50 times normal, a single post was shared more than 2 million times, and Mother Jones called the site “a time capsule of the coronavirus era.”

About Kevin Pho, MD
Kevin Pho, MD, is a practicing, board-certified internal medicine physician and the founder and editor of KevinMD. He is the host of The Podcast by KevinMD, a national keynote speaker, and the author of Establishing, Managing, and Protecting Your Online Reputation: A Social Media Guide for Physicians and Medical Practices. When The New York Times reviewed the book, it described him as one of the few doctors in medicine known by first name alone.
Kevin started KevinMD in 2004 to give clinicians and patients a place to be heard. More than two decades later, he still reviews every submission himself.
The podcast is the daily heart of the work. Kevin hosts every episode himself: fifteen minutes, one guest, the stories and questions that doctors and patients are actually wrestling with.
Kevin earned his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine, completed his internal medicine residency at Boston University Medical Center, and practices primary care at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, New Hampshire.
