Joshua B. Bederson, MD
“I actually think Doctors’ Day should be renamed Patients’ Day."
"Doctors would not exist without our patients, and our whole reason for being doctors is to take care of you.”
Dr. Bederson is Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Health System, and has performed more than 4,000 neurosurgical operations.
Pruthvi Patel, MD, MPH
“My favorite messages are when patients feel empowered after they leave our office.”
“Being able to put a lot of information into context and having a patient walk out of the room and say, ‘I get it,’ or ‘I see your pathway.’ It may not always lead to a cure, but it may lead to a feeling of self-empowerment. I think those are my favorite messages—when patients feel empowered after they leave our office.”
Dr. Patel is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Liver Diseases.
Christopher Cao, MD
“We’re entrusted to do what’s best for our patients and for our community."
"Most of the time, we see patients in their most vulnerable state…and it’s in those times that I think we can provide the best care and make the biggest difference for our patients.”
Dr. Cao is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology at the Icahn School, providing clinical care for a wide variety of gastrointestinal diseases.
