Experience

Sophie Vergnaud, MD, is the Senior Medical Director for GoodRx Health. An experienced and dedicated pulmonologist and hospitalist, she spent a decade practicing and teaching clinical medicine at academic hospitals throughout London before transitioning to a career in health education and health technology.

In the U.S., prior to joining GoodRx, she created and edited patient-facing clinical content at HealthLoop (now Get Well), a digital patient engagement platform. She also worked in partnership with Google Health to develop machine learning systems capable of predicting patient outcomes in hospitals.

After joining GoodRx in 2018, she was part of the small but mighty team that built the foundations for GoodRx Health. As GoodRx’s first medical editor, she was instrumental in establishing the company’s approach to creating trustworthy, science-backed health content and hiring the team to deliver it.

Now, as Senior Medical Director for GoodRx Health, she oversees a close-knit team of passionate and experienced medical editors and health editors, a large team of physician contributors and journalists, and GoodRx Health’s Clinical Review Board.
