Welcome to “Is It Serious?,” a conversational podcast where two top doctors pull back the curtain on the American healthcare system and answer all of your health concerns, one question at a time. Our doctor hosts, Jean Luc Neptune, MD and Mark Lewis, MD, share their medical knowledge in a fun, lighthearted chat while also getting to the root of the “question of the day.” They will discuss a range of topics covering everything from complex health issues to the absurdity of drug commercials. The doctors will also share healthcare hacks, insider insurance tips, and mean tweets from their personal social media accounts. JL and Mark are the doctor friends that you always wished you had and now, you do!

Customer Reviews
Dynamic hosts & great topical listen!
Love listening to both Drs Mark and JL provide their thought-provoking takes on thorny and topical medical news and issues.
They’ve got a great back-and-forth demeanor, and I always end each episode feeling more knowledgeable — and entertained — than I did before. Going through the back catalogue now to see what I missed.
Keep up the great work!
Excellent Podcast
This light hearted podcast is filled with many laughs and tons of information. The episodes are filled with information that I never knew. It is a must listen to podcast. I look forward to Thursday’s.
Rough
This is a great concept but these guys tell terrible jokes. They try to do this snarky banter, accusing one another of having different medical problems or being on medications. If it was funny I’m sure I’d enjoy it, but it sounds forced and makes me cringe.
