What Type Of Doctor Is YouTuber Doctor Mike?
Dr. Mike Varshavaski or, as he's better known on social media and amidst all his TV appearances, Dr. Mike, rocketed to fame back in 2015, thanks to a Buzzfeed article called "Um, You Really Need To See This Hot Doctor And His Dog." That led to a huge leap in followers on his Instagram and YouTube channels, and the young doctor and his undeniably good looks started getting a lot of attention which eventually led to him being named People's Sexiest Doctor Alive of 2015.
But the Russian-born social media sensation isn't just good looks and TV appearances. He really is a doctor, and if you follow his YouTube channel, you know he is all about showing his fans what life for a medical practitioner is like behind the scenes at both his practice and while doing rounds in the hospital while simultaneously educating and promoting health and wellness to his followers.
According to his hospital biography, Varshavaski believes in a preventative care approach to medicine and is using his social media presence to inform viewers how "small lifestyle changes can make a big impact on quality of life as well as health outcomes."
