Bio

Doctor Radio, created exclusively in collaboration with NYU Medical Center, features more than two dozen respected doctors as regular weekly hosts, many of whom are "teaching" doctors at the NYU School of Medicine, plus physicians and medical experts from around the world as special hosts and guests. To serve Americans' hunger for health, medical and wellness information, Doctor Radio covers the human condition and the complexities of the bodies we inhabit, as well as entertains a little bit along the way. Doctor Radio gives listeners direct access to the best doctors in every field, breaking down barriers between the medical world and the everyday world, and giving listeners information to make important decisions about their health and well-being. NYU Medical Center doctors take new medical research and findings and translate them into easy-to-understand advice and knowledge in an innovative and new way to better peoples' lives. Among the diverse array of subjects covered are how to know if you are at risk for a heart attack, heart disease and high blood pressure; the psychology of everyone from serial killers to college students; what really goes on inside the emergency room and how it compares to television shows like ER and House; what parents can do to cope with children suffering from ADD; stories from the operating room, and why it might be better to hold off on getting that long-awaited nose job; and important things to know before reaching for that Viagra pill on your way to the bedroom. Speaking candidly to address real-life medical matters and scenarios, doctors on the channel will even dissect sports injuries from the past weekend's big games. Doctor Radio launched on June 2, 2008 on Sirius XM channel 81.
