CTO
OhMD
About OhMD
OhMD is the AI communication platform for physician practices. We answer patient calls with AI, automate texting, and eliminate phone stress for 2,000+ practices and healthcare organizations. We launched our AI voice agent Nia in 2025, and Q1 2026 was our best quarter in company history.
We’re on a mission to improve the patient experience by simplifying communication between physicians and their patients: deflect calls, automate scheduling, and manage patient conversations by text or voice.
We have an incredible team of brilliant, energetic, impact-driven folks who are passionate about improving healthcare.
We’re a hybrid team with team members spread out across five states with a lakefront office at Hula in beautiful Burlington, Vermont.
