Maimonides Health Physicians Named Among Castle Connolly Top Doctors
Last month, Castle Connolly released its Top Doctors of 2023 — a list that represents the top 7% of doctors in the nation across every specialty. 82 Maimonides physicians from several specialties were named on the list. Congratulations to these providers for this well-deserved honor, and most importantly, for embodying the quality patient care and culture of clinical excellence that we strive for at Maimonides.

Dr. Kishor Malavade Pens Op-Ed on Mental Health in NY Daily News
Kishor Malavade, MD, Maimonides psychiatrist and vice chair of the Maimonides Department of Population Health, published an opinion column in the New York Daily News in January, titled “A better Rx for mental health crisis.” “Our system for addressing severe mental illnesses desperately needs foundational support to meet the basic needs of all people, integrate and screen for mental health, and increase capacity to care for those in need of mental health services. A solution to New York’s mental health crisis won’t happen overnight — instead, we need to concentrate on proven, long-term, and multi-tiered solutions,” wrote Dr. Malavade.
