Why I Built Doctiplus

My name is Dr. Jason C. Lee. I am a board-certified otolaryngologist affiliated with JFK University Medical Center and Bayshore Medical Center at Hackensack Meridian Health in Edison, New Jersey. After completing my residency in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and over a decade in clinical practice, I watched the same problem repeat itself every single day in my clinic: patients arriving weeks after their symptoms first appeared.

They were not arriving late because they were careless. They were arriving late because the system had failed them. No available appointment. Wrong specialist. No idea which doctor to call. Geography, language, insurance, registration barriers — these were killing outcomes that medicine itself could have saved.

In 2019, I began reaching out to trusted colleagues across disciplines. Dr. Surendra K. Purohit in Louisiana. Dr. Adrian A. Santamaria in Texas. Dr. Anna V. Abel in Florida. Dr. Kathryn L. Newton in Ohio. Cardiologists, surgeons, pediatricians, neurologists — physicians with a combined 200+ years of clinical practice who shared one frustration. Patients were being failed not by medicine, but by access to medicine.

I did not want to build another directory. I wanted to build what a patient at 2am in rural Pakistan or suburban Louisiana equally deserved: an immediate, trustworthy connection to a real, verified specialist. — Dr. Jason C. Lee MD, Founder & CMO, Doctiplus

Together we designed Doctiplus from the inside out. Every verification standard, every interface decision, every policy reflects what we as clinicians believe patients deserve. We launched with one non-negotiable principle: no patient should need an account, a waiting room, or an insurance call just to speak to a qualified doctor. Doctiplus would be open. Always.

Today, Doctiplus serves over 2 million patients across 90+ countries. More than 10,000 individually verified doctors across 20+ specialties are available through our platform every day. We are still building. The mission has not changed.

Founded by Practicing PhysiciansDoctiplus was designed by board-certified MDs who continue to treat patients, ensuring every platform decision is grounded in clinical reality and genuine patient need.

The Most Rigorous Verification Standard in TelemedicineEvery specialist passes credential checks covering medical degree authenticity, board certification status, active medical licence, hospital affiliations, and professional standing — before any patient can book.

Zero Barriers to EntryNo registration required to browse, read profiles, or compare doctors. No membership gates. No waiting periods. Because a health emergency does not wait for an account approval.

Designed for a Global PatientFrom the very first line of code, Doctiplus was built for the patient in Karachi, the traveller in Dubai, the senior in rural Louisiana, and the parent in rural Kenya equally. Global coverage is the foundation, not a feature.

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To Remove Every Barrier Between a Patient and a Qualified Doctor

We believe access to a certified specialist should never be limited by geography, registration requirements, language, or time of day. Doctiplus exists to make quality medical care available to every person on earth, instantly and without friction.

Connect patients in any country to a verified doctor within minutes
Maintain the highest verification standards for every specialist listed
Operate continuously, 365 days a year including public holidays
Support patients across all income levels with transparent, affordable access
Partner with accredited clinics worldwide for in-person continuity of care

Our Vision

A World Where Geography Never Determines the Quality of Healthcare You Receive

We are building toward a future where no patient waits weeks for a specialist, travels hours for a second opinion, or goes without treatment because they do not know which doctor to call. Doctiplus is our answer to that future.

Expand verified specialist coverage to every country on earth
Make digital prescriptions, referrals and sick notes universally accepted
Build the most trusted patient-to-specialist network ever created
Reduce time from symptom to specialist to under one hour globally
Set the global standard for physician verification in digital health

The Core Values of Doctiplus

Every decision we make as a platform and as a team of physicians returns to six principles we committed to on the day we founded Doctiplus.

Clinical Integrity

Every doctor on Doctiplus is individually verified. We do not list unverified practitioners. We do not accept sponsored listings. Clinical truth is the only currency we trade in, and no business consideration will change that.

Patient First, Always

We designed Doctiplus the way a good doctor designs a practice: around the patient. Every feature, every policy, every interface decision starts with one question: does this make it easier or harder for a patient to get the care they need?

Radical Accessibility

We removed the registration wall, the waiting room, and the postcode restriction. Doctiplus is reachable by anyone with an internet connection, anywhere on earth, at any hour of the day, in any health situation.

Privacy and Security

All consultations are end-to-end encrypted and fully GDPR-compliant. Patient data is never shared, never sold, and never used for advertising. Medical records belong to the patient — full stop. No exceptions.

Transparent Communication

We tell patients exactly what each consultation costs, what their prescription covers, and who their doctor is. No hidden fees. No ambiguous credentials. No unexplained referrals. Complete transparency, every time.

Continuous Improvement

We are a platform built by physicians still in active practice. That means we are always learning, always improving. Every patient outcome, every piece of doctor feedback, every new clinical development makes Doctiplus better.

Otolaryngologist — Head and Neck Surgery | Founder, Doctiplus | Edison, New Jersey

I am a board-certified ENT specialist affiliated with JFK University Medical Center and Bayshore Medical Center at Hackensack Meridian Health in Edison, New Jersey. I completed my medical degree at the Medical College of Georgia and my residency in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, graduating in 2024. I have been in clinical practice between 11 and 20 years, managing conditions from hearing loss and sleep apnea to head and neck tumors and complex sinus disease.

Doctiplus was not a business idea I had. It was a clinical problem I could not stop thinking about. After years in practice, I was tired of watching patients delay care because of structural barriers that had nothing to do with their condition. I reached out to colleagues I trusted, doctors who shared that frustration, and we built Doctiplus together. Every specialist on this platform reflects the same verification standard I would apply to a colleague I refer my own patients to.

I accept Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, and UnitedHealthcare at my clinic. Through Doctiplus, our wider network of verified specialists accepts a broad range of international and domestic insurance plans, and we are actively expanding those partnerships every month.

The Physicians Who Built Doctiplus With Me

Doctiplus was built by a group of board-certified physicians from across the United States. These are the colleagues I trusted enough to build this with. Each brings decades of clinical expertise and a shared conviction that patients deserve far better access to specialist care than the current system provides.

The Doctiplus Timeline

From a clinical frustration noticed during residency to a global platform serving 2 million patients — this is how Doctiplus was built, year by year.

The Idea Takes Shape During Residency

During my final year of otolaryngology residency at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, I began documenting patterns in patient delays. A patient with a six-week history of throat symptoms. Another with weeks of dizziness who had not been able to reach a neurologist. I started conversations with colleagues across disciplines about what a physician-led telemedicine platform built on verification principles could look like.

Founding idea documentedFirst physician conversations

Founding Physician Group Assembles — Platform Development Begins

Twelve board-certified physicians from seven specialties agreed to co-found Doctiplus. The founding group spanned general surgery, neurology, internal medicine, cardiology, pediatrics, physical rehabilitation, OB-GYN, dermatology, and otolaryngology — collectively representing over 200 years of combined clinical experience. We began designing the physician verification framework and the no-registration booking system together.

12 founding physicians7 specialties represented200+ years combined experience

Doctiplus Goes Live — First 500 Verified Doctors Across 8 Countries

Doctiplus launched publicly with 500 individually verified specialists across 8 countries. Every listing had been reviewed against board certification records, active licence status, hospital affiliations, and professional standing reviews. No paid listings. No unverified profiles. Within 90 days, the platform was serving patients across 22 countries. Our no-registration policy remained non-negotiable from day one.

50 Countries — In-Person Clinic Network Launches — Digital Prescriptions Roll Out

Doctiplus expanded its in-person booking network, partnering with accredited clinics across 50 countries. Patients could now book face-to-face appointments at verified partner clinics through the same platform, with their full Doctiplus health history accessible to attending physicians before arrival. Digital prescription issuance rolled out across partner pharmacy networks in multiple regions.
