Dr. Renee Dua, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of Heal

Dr. Renee Dua is saving parents the headache of trekking to the doctor’s office for every little sniffle with Heal, the app for on-demand house calls. At the click of a button, Heal offers simple and affordable access to docs in the comfort of your home, 365 days a year. (Cue angels singing!) A game changer for sure, Dua passionately has her hands in all aspects of the company from running the biz and hiring physicians to designing the app. “I personally love treating patients first-hand and being able to see their lifestyles within their own homes, which helps me treat them. One patient I recently saw was a single mom of four, and two of her kids were sick over a weekend. Providing care and relief to that family and hundreds of others like them is the reason I started Heal.” Heal may be Dua’s baby, but her real babes are two boys under the age of three whom she loves taking to the beach and LA museums whenever she can.
