Ask DR GPT™

Ask me what I actually think

I am Harvey Castro, MD, MBA. I am a board-certified emergency physician who never stopped seeing patients, and I have spent three years writing about what artificial intelligence really does in medicine. Both tools below answer from that work, not from the open internet. Pick the one that fits how you want to explore.

What it answers from

Nearly one hundred essays published on KevinMD since 2023. Seventy articles on this site. My Substack. My books on artificial intelligence in medicine. Talks I have given on stage. Nothing else.

It does not browse the web. It does not borrow another doctor's opinion and put my name on it. If a question falls outside what I have written, it says so rather than inventing an answer.

What it will not do

It is educational, not medical advice.It cannot diagnose you, interpret your results, or tell you what to do about your own health.
It does not replace your clinician.Nothing here creates a doctor-patient relationship. Take real questions to the person who examines you.
Do not send personal health information.This channel is not covered by HIPAA. Keep your own medical details out of it.
If this is an emergency, stop.Chest pain, stroke symptoms, difficulty breathing, thoughts of harming yourself. Call emergency services now. Do not ask a chatbot.

Prefer to text?

Text your question to DR GPT™ AI at +1 (469) 982-2353. Same rules apply: general information only, not medical advice, and please do not send personal health details.

Text DR GPT™ AI

Hear an AI answer in my voice

Harvey Castro, MD, speaking on stage at TEDxSouthlake in November 2025.

Type a question. An AI writes the answer from my published work and speaks it in a cloned version of my voice. The spoken answer usually arrives in under a minute, and a talking video follows when one is available. For sources, video moments and follow-up questions, use the Knowledge Channel above.

General information only, not medical advice. Answers are generated by AI from my published work and spoken in a cloned version of my voice. Please do not share personal health details.

Questions about DR GPT™

What is DR GPT™?

DR GPT™ is my AI assistant. I am Harvey Castro, a board-certified emergency physician and healthcare AI keynote speaker. It answers healthcare AI questions from my published books, articles and talks. It is an AI, not me.

Where do the answers come from?

From my own work: my books, my articles and my recorded talks. Not from the open web. A written answer names its source where one applies.

Can DR GPT™ give medical advice?

No. Every answer is general information for education only, never medical, legal or financial advice, and never a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Please do not send personal health details.

What happens if someone asks about an emergency?

Any question that describes an emergency or thoughts of self-harm gets one fixed reply: call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department now, or call or text 988. No AI answer is generated for those questions.

Can I hear the answer instead of reading it?

Yes. Ask me out loud speaks the answer in a cloned version of my voice, usually in under a minute. A talking video follows on the same page when it finishes rendering.

Can I text DR GPT™?

Yes. Text a healthcare AI question to +1 469-982-2353. Replies are educational only. Reply STOP at any time to opt out.

How do I book you to speak?

Start on my contact page. My fee depends on the event: national or international travel, format, length, and whether you want workshops or advisory time around the keynote. Contact me directly and I will quote it.
