An online longevity clinic,
built by a clinician.

Founded by Dr. Poonam Desai, a renowned longevity clinician, Sumero makes expert, clinician-led care something you can actually reach.

Most telehealth is built by tech companies. Sumero was built by a doctor.

Here's what nobody tells you about online health: most platforms are apps first and medicine second. The prescription is a transaction. The "care team" is a logo. And the clinician whose name is on the site often had nothing to do with how any of it actually works.

Dr. Poonam Desai, DO, is a double board-certified, double fellowship-trained physician and the founder of Sumero Health. She has practiced longevity medicine since 2017 and founded Longevity Place, a longevity clinic in New York, and Her Longevity, a community of 400+ physicians focused on women's health and healthy aging. She is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, fellowship-trained in precision medicine, a former Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medical College with eight years as academic faculty, and a TEDx speaker. She built Sumero so that everyone could have a longevity doctor.

When a physician builds the platform, the incentives change. The question stops being how fast can we write a prescription and becomes what actually keeps this person healthy for the long run. That kind of care is rare. It's exactly what Sumero was built to deliver.

Dr. Desai's full credentials and background

What we do

Three kinds of care,
one place

Longevity

Hormone optimization, GLP-1s, longevity therapies, biomarker testing, & supplement guidance to help you understand your biology and stay ahead.

Primary

Preventive care, prescriptions, and lab review. Ongoing care and retesting over time instead of treating you once a year.

Urgent

Everyday issues, handled fast. Colds, infections, rashes, and the small things that come up, without a trip to a clinic. $50 a visit.

Care, made accessible

Three kinds of care
that used to be hard to reach

Care that gets ahead, not just reacts

Most medicine waits for something to break. Sumero looks earlier, at hormones, metabolism, and the trends that shape your future, so you can act while it still makes a difference.

Always within reach

Video visits, messaging with your care team through ERO, around the clock. Your labs, your plan, and your history in one place, yours to see anytime.

One place instead of five

The care people usually piece together from a longevity clinic, a primary care office, and an urgent care line, brought together and connected.

Built to be reachable

The depth of care that used to sit behind concierge pricing and a handful of clinics, made into something far more people can actually get to.

The best time to take your health seriously is long before anything goes wrong.

Where the name comes from

fuiI was
sumI am
eroI will be

Sumero takes its name from the Latin sum and ero, I am and I will be. But longevity lives in all three tenses. Who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming. Most of medicine only looks at this moment. We are built to see the whole line.

Your health, elevated

How we work

Our commitment to you

Clinician-led, always

Every plan is overseen by a licensed clinician. ERO organizes your information and points you to the right care, but people make the medical decisions.

Honest about the evidence

We tell you what the science actually supports and where it does not. No hype, no overpromising, and no selling you something you do not need.

Prescribed only when it is right

Treatment is recommended when it is clinically appropriate, never by default. Sometimes the best answer is to adjust, to wait, or to do nothing at all.

Your data stays yours

HIPAA-compliant and encrypted. Your health information is private, secure, and never sold.

We work alongside your care

We handle most things. Keep your primary care doctor for in-person visits.

We stay with you over time

Care that follows your trends across the year, retests and adjusts, instead of resetting at every new appointment.

Start where you are.
Build toward who you'll be
