He received his MD degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY. Dr. Glassman served an internship in General Surgery at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine affiliated hospitals in The Bronx, New York, and completed his residency training in internal medicine at Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, NY. For the past 21 years, Dr. Glassman has practiced general internal medicine in Rockland County, a suburban community 30 miles north of New York City, designing his practice to be patient-centered instead of problem- focused. He has appeared on ABC news, Bloomberg Radio, National Public Radio, Sirius/XM,Hay House Radio with Wayne Dyer, The Wall Street Journal Radio, and numerous other affiliates around the country speaking on his unique approach to health care. Dr. Glassman’s numerous articles and letters on health care have appeared in The New York Times and other publications. Mindful of the limitations of conventional medicine, Dr. Glassman has been able to integrate alternative practices to bring his patients the best potential for health and longevity. In 2005, Dr. Glassman founded the New York Center for Longevity and Wellness. The goal of the Center is to balance mind-body concepts with conventional medicine to deliver a comprehensive approach to health and wellness. Since the Center opened, Dr. Glassman has been featured in many local publications, notably the regional Hudson Valley Magazine, which has repeatedly named him one of the top doctors in the Hudson Valley (spanning an area from Albany to New York City). In addition to appearing as the subject of feature-length articles, Dr. Glassman has been named by Castle Connolly as a New York Metro Top Doctor for five consecutive years and has been recognized by the Consumers’ Research Council of America as one of America’s top physicians. In November 2010, Dr. Glassman was "Among the Nation's Top Doctors" in the NY Times. He began distributing a weekly motivational email message to patients and friends in January 2007. By May 2008, his distribution list had grown so much—as people on the list told others about it— and interest in his messages had become so high—Dr. Glassman decided to turn his philosophy and advice into a book. That’s how Brain Drain came about. Starting in May 2008, his weekly messages—now distributed to an even larger audience—formed the basis for chapters of this book. To date, Brain Drain has won in the Spiritual category at the 2009 Los Angeles Book Festival and received honorable mention at the 2009 New England Book Festival. NABE Spring 2010 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award winner as the best Self-Help book. 2010 Eric Hoffer Award Winner. Through his book, private practice, public appearances, continued weekly messages, and Coach MD (medical coaching practice), Dr. Glassman has helped thousands realize a healthier, successful, and more abundant life. He lives in Rockland County, NY with his wife and their four children (and dog, Ginger).
Do you ever leave your doctor’s office without a clear idea of what just happened? Are you often frustrated by your doctor’s lack of knowledge of alternative approaches and apparent lack of interest in your questions? Do you wish your doctor would just make sense of all the contradictions in the medical field? Why do you have so much trouble sticking to a healthy lifestyle, even though you know it would make your life so much happier? Do you wonder if your doctor is up to date on all the cutting-edge diagnostic tests for prevention and early detection? Is stress over your financial affairs, your personal relationships, or your health preventing you from living a fully satisfying life? Being a patient is about much more than fitting into various categories of disease, and a good doctor should know that. From my more than 20 years of practice, I understand the privilege and responsibility of being a physician. An essential part of the doctor-patient relationship is the doctor’s ability to see the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. As your Medical Coach, I will provide you with the information, guidance, and support you need to navigate through the turbulence of life. Incorporating concepts from my book Brain Drain, my weekly messages, and my extensive professional experience, I can serve as your partner as you seek to overcome obstacles. Whether you are dealing with a medical issue or any other kind of life challenge, I assure you that no problem is off-limits for us. So before you take that medication you feel uncomfortable taking, or go for that test you don’t think is necessary, run it by your Medical Coach. I will give you the attention and respect that you want and deserve.
