He has interviewed leading experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Google Health’s Dr. David Feinberg, addressing topics like testing, masks and misinformation in the media. Doctor Mike has established himself as the media’s to-go source for trusted COVID-19 information. Watch his Coronavirus Truths Series here.
