Daniel B. Cucco, MD

I studied psychology and biology in college, and an interest in practical application led me to medicine. This dual interest continued in medical school, and I gravitated towards complex cases in which patients have both medical and psychiatric illness. When I found out there were combined training programs that would allow me to practice internal medicine and psychiatry, I knew I had found the right specialty.

I generally work with patients who have both medical and psychiatric illness. I also work closely with people who require palliative care and transplants, as many of the people I treat have terminal illness or are awaiting a transplant.

My dual training in medicine and psychiatry offers a unique perspective that allows me to view each patient as a whole, rather than focusing on an individual condition alone.

I am currently involved in multiple research projects involving delirium. Specifically, I focus on patients in the intensive care unit who have delirium and categorizing delirium resources for medical education.

I am a member of the Association of Medicine and Psychiatry.
