About Us

Askthedoctor.com was the idea of two Canadian entrepreneurs – Prakash Chand and Dr. Suneel Sharman.  Both are from Winnipeg, Canada but the idea was envisioned in Dec 2006 while at a café on the Toronto harbor. As the project grew, it expanded to the US and became Askthedoctor.com in January 2010 and is now the most trusted and popular source of personalized medical information in the world.

Prakash Chand is a serial entrepreneur based out of Toronto, Ontario. He owns many businesses in different sectors. One of his main businesses is maid services across Canada/USA.  It was started after he retired from travelling and training for the sport of badminton.  He has extensive knowledge in web development and advertising and his goal is to make Askthedoctor.com the world's largest easy to use medical information website for the general public. Some other companies Mr. Chand currently owns are: Toronto Yacht Rentals, New York Maid Service, Daily Shits and Giggles, AutoLifestyles and Toronto Food Guys.

Dr Suneel Sharman completed his residency in Family Medicine at the University of Toronto. In addition to this he operates a walk in clininc in Toronto known as Infinity Health Centre. he has done extra training in sports medicine and cosmetic medicine.  He is also an adjunct professor at the university of Toronto where he teaches second year medical students.  His goal is to make complex medical knowledge freely available to the world.

In 2011, AskTheDoctor.com officially became a parter with the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland to provide them with unique content for the purpose of research and development.
