We are so excited to bring you an interesting perspective with Dr. Itay Wiser, MD, PHD who owns Wiser MD in Manhattan, NY and also serves as Chief of Surgical Ambulatory Services at Harlem Hospital. We meander from his start in Israel in epidemiology to publishing over 50 peer reviewed articles, to how his creativity in music translates into the art of treating his patients. In addition, we discuss the importance of a strong life partner when dealing with pressure and how this helps with accountability and success. Further, we dive into what it means to be beautiful, how aesthetics is communication and how beauty can be brought out in almost anyone.

About Dr. Wiser
I am a New York Licensed and an Israeli Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I am an attending plastic surgeon and the Chief of Surgical Ambulatory Services at Harlem Hospital after completing two specialty fellowship programs: a reconstructive microsurgery fellowship specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, and a Lymphedema surgery fellowship program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
I hold a PhD in epidemiology and public health from the Sackler School of Medicine in Israel, which helps me to evaluate novel published treatments and technologies that can benefit my patients. I believe that my medical knowledge directly correlates with the quality of care I provide to my patients, and therefore, in addition to patient care, I am routinely involved in medical research.
I am the author of more than 50 peer reviewed scientific publications, and often present my own work in international plastic surgery conferences. My main research interest is patient reported outcome measurement, a new tool that puts the patient in the center of care.
I care for every patient like she or he is my first degree relative. I am responsible for my patients no matter the outcome, and without an expiration date. My relationship with my patients is built on mutual trust, honesty and setting realistic expectations.”
