About Me
- Vijay Goel, M.D.
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
- I look forward to a day when the US healthcare system is better meets the needs of each individual and cost correlates strongly to value (quality and service). I was previously a consultant at McKinsey & Co, where I worked with payors, providers, banks, and employers to think through the implications of healthcare consumerism. I am currently starting a company called HealthShoppr focused on improving consumer ability to shop for healthcare providers and services that meet their needs. I am also doing some independent strategy/ healthcare consulting, so please contact me if I can be of help (You can email me at consumerfocusedcare (at) gmail)
