ĢƵ – New York's Expert Geriatric Specialists
Physicians and nurse practitioners at the Irving Sherwood Wright Center on Aging provide both primary care and consultation in a multidisciplinary, collaborative setting. The Center also runs Housecalls, an innovative program that brings physicians to the homes of elderly patients in the neighborhood of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and delivers care for those unable to visit our physicians.
Additionally, in the summer of 1999, ĢƵ formed the Center for Aging Research and Clinical Care, which integrates all geriatrics activities across the institution. The Center is administered by ĢƵ's Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, and its mission is to improve the quality of life of older adults through an integration of NewYork-Presbyterian and ĢƵ's Aging Programs in research, clinical care, and teaching.

Dr. Stieg was a wonderful doctor. I saw him the other day to review my annual brain MRI. He was gracious and kind and very knowledgeable. He explained everything to me slowly and carefully and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend him. I was very lucky to have met him.
I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Larissa Rodriguez, and my experience from the initial consultation through surgery, and one year of follow up has been exceptional. Dr. Rodriguez demonstrated remarkable knowledge, skill, and professionalism throughout every stage of my care. She provided a thorough and clear explanation of my condition, outlining the diagnosis, treatment options and possible outcomes with great detail and understanding. Her ability to communicate complex medical information in a way that was easy to understand made me feel confident and informed in my decisions. Dr. Rodriguez's surgical expertise and compassionate approach truly set her apart. She is patient, attentive, and dedicated to achieving the best possible results for her patients. Her entire team both in office and surgical setting for their professionalism, efficiency, and kindness. Their coordinated efforts and attention to detail made my experience seamless and reassuring. I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care I received, and highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and her staff to anyone seeking outstanding medical treatment and patient within her Center care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thanks🌸Flor-------- Thanks again Samanta, Flor
