A physician who kept notes.
Board-certified in internal medicine (ABIM) and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, with advanced training in functional, aesthetic, and longevity medicine. Internal medicine residency at Mount Sinai; earlier training in anesthesia and critical care in Delhi. Across twenty-five years and more than 15,000 patients, one pattern kept repeating: clean labs beside lives that had quietly come apart.
