Mount Sinai Beth Israel

Mount Sinai Beth Israel is a member of the Mount Sinai Health System, the largest health care system in New York City. As such, it provides access to a wide variety of specialists to whom he can refer his patients. The clout of Provider Partners of Mount Sinai allows to get approval for testing and prescriptions that might not be permitted otherwise.

The facilities of the Mount Sinai system include: the Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Beth Israel. Mount Sinai St. Luke’s, Mount Sinai West (Roosevelt), New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, among others. The integration of these sites provide a wider referral base than does a single hospital.

Nevertheless, one of our goals is to keep his patients out of the hospital.
