What we do
Unlike a traditional doctor’s office, you’re not going to be billed every time you visit the CarePod or if you need multiple blood screenings. For one flat fee, you get unlimited access to Forward services. No co-pays, hidden fees, or surprise bills – ever.
Your Forward Doctors
Francois Dufresne, MD
Doctor, Forward- Morehouse School of Medicine
- Internal Medicine at NYU Langone
Francois has a special interest in combining evidence-based practice with an individualized and patient forward approach. In particular, he is most interested in this collaboration when considering the intersection of multiple medical conditions with lifestyle.
Prior to joining Forward, he was on faculty at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
I am most excited about the opportunity to sit across from my members and spend the time getting to truly understand how we can jointly work on their health goals.
Glenn Kashan, MD
Doctor, Forward- Albert Einstein College of Medicine
- Beth Israel Medical Center
Prior to joining forward, Glenn was in private practice and then practiced medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel where he was the Chief of Quality Improvement and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine.
I joined Forward because I wanted to practice at a place which would leverage the latest in technology to enable me to have adequate time with my patients to understand their unique concerns and be able to address them in a non-rushed manner. This enables us to tailor an individual approach to each patient's health - utilizing the latest evidence and technology while still understanding that each patient is an individual and has unique needs and responses to therapies. I wanted to practice in a place where I was able to spend time with my patients, as my grandfather was able to do with his, yet still be able to avail them of all that modern medicine has to offer for their health.
Pooja Singh, MD
Doctor, Forward- Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College
- Internal Medicine at Lincoln Medical
Pooja has a special interest in knowing her members not only from the perspective of their medical issues but also their lifestyle.
She is a strong promoter and ardent practitioner of mindfulness and meditation. She also has an interest in the Gut-Brain Axis and its association with disease.
Prior to Forward, Pooja practiced medicine at Columbia University Medical Center.
I am most excited about the opportunity to sit across from my members and spend the time getting to truly understand how we can jointly work on their health goals.
