Telehealth Experts 2025

Dr. Shiv Goel, MD is a board-certified physician and the founder of Prime Vitality Care, a physician-led functional medicine and wellness clinic based in San Antonio, Texas, with telehealth services available to patients in all 50 states. Dr. Goel trained in internal medicine and functional and integrative medicine, and has spent his career building a practice model that treats the root causes of poor health rather than managing symptoms in isolation. His clinical philosophy is grounded in the understanding that hormones, metabolism, inflammation, gut health, and mental well-being are deeply interconnected systems — and that lasting health improvements require addressing all of them together. Prime Vitality Care specializes in physician-supervised GLP-1 medical weight loss programs using semaglutide and tirzepatide, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men, peptide therapy including Sermorelin, BPC-157, and PT-141, and comprehensive functional medicine consultations for patients with chronic fatigue, gut dysfunction, autoimmune concerns, and metabolic disease. Dr. Goel is a sought-after expert on the clinical application of GLP-1 therapies, the role of hormonal imbalance in weight resistance, and the future of physician-led telehealth medicine. He speaks regularly to the gap between what conventional medicine offers patients with metabolic dysfunction and what a root-cause, functional approach can deliver when the right diagnostics and time are applied. Through Prime Vitality Care's HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, Dr. Goel brings the same standard of clinical depth and personalization to patients nationwide that San Antonio patients have relied on in person — with lab coordination through local Quest Diagnostics or CPL sites and all prescriptions compounded and shipped directly to patients.

Stephanie Eltz is the CEO and Co-Founder of Doctify, the global healthtech platform transforming how patients find, trust and connect with healthcare providers. A former trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, Stephanie brings a rare combination of frontline clinical experience and entrepreneurial leadership to one of healthcare’s most pressing challenges: trust, transparency and informed choice.

In a world where consumers can instantly assess restaurants or taxis, healthcare decisions still relied on guesswork. That insight became the foundation for Doctify: a platform built by doctors, for doctors and patients, designed to bring verified feedback, credibility and clarity into healthcare decision-making. Since launching, Stephanie has led Doctify’s growth across the UK, Austria, Germany, Ireland, the UAE and Australia, helping millions of patients make more confident choices about their care. Under her leadership, Doctify has evolved beyond patient reviews into a global healthcare network, connecting patients with the right specialists, and clinicians with one another through peer-to-peer skill endorsements, professional networking and data-driven insights that support continuous improvement in care quality. Stephanie’s leadership and influence have been recognised across the tech industry. She was celebrated as one of the UK’s most inspirational women in technology at the InspiringFifty Awards, a prestigious accolade honouring exceptional female leaders in tech. In addition, Stephanie was longlisted among the Most Influential Women in UK Tech by Computer Weekly, underscoring her impact at the intersection of technology, healthcare and entrepreneurship. Driven by a belief that better healthcare starts with better information, Stephanie continues to lead Doctify’s mission to build the world’s most trusted global network of healthcare providers - empowering patients, supporting clinicians, and shaping a more transparent, connected future for healthcare.
