David Drew Pinsky, (born September 4, 1958) nicknamed "Dr. Drew" is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. He is best known as host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show Loveline, where he offers advice on a wide array of lifestyle issues affecting not only teenagers & young adults, but people in general. Pinsky's former radio partner Adam Carolla often poked fun at the straight-laced Pinsky, and humorously called him a "man of passion."
Pinsky was born in Pasadena, California and attended Polytechnic School; his father was also a doctor while his mother, Helene Stanton, was a singer and actress. He majored in biology at Amherst College, graduating in 1980, and earned his M.D. at the University of Southern California School of Medicine in 1984. He started doing Loveline as a local show on radio station KROQ while still a medical student, with no pay at first. He served his residency at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, and eventually became chief resident there before moving into private practice. Pinsky married in 1991, and he and his wife Susan had triplets Douglas, Jordan, and Paulina in 1992. Loveline went national in 1995, and the television version began the following year. The show ran on MTV for four years, and still continues on radio. A companion volume, The Dr. Drew and Adam Book: A Survival Guide To Life and Love, was published in 1998.
In the midst of the dot-com boom, Pinsky co-founded an Internet-based community and advice site for teenagers called DrDrew.com with a friend named Curtis Giesen. Among their early backers was Garage.com *. DrDrew.com soon failed, and the company was sold to a corporate restructuring firm called Sherwood Partners Inc., which sold the remnants to DrKoop.com in November 2000. * Pinsky no longer maintains any affiliation with the site, though they continue to run articles he wrote for the service in 2000-2001.
