He owns Ideal Pediatrics and Whole Child Pediatrics. As his patients came to him asking for recommendations regarding hemp CBD oils, he began to research its uses and safety. What he found was a plethora of information which was difficult to maneuver. What he also found was that his patients were receiving many benefits from using Hemp derived products. So, he created an informational website (www.cbdexpertmd.com), initially focused on educating his patients' parents, but eventually with the goal of educating all who sell or use Hemp derived CBD products. On his journey, he was repeatedly asked for suggestions for brands that he trusted. After researching and vetting many companies, he developed a 'Brands We Trust' page, but still felt that, without having his 'eyes' on every step, from farming to manufacturing, he could never 100% trust them. Thus began his journey of creating his own line of products.
