Michael H. Perskin, MD

As a primary care provider at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to helping my patients live healthier and more fulfilling lives. My role allows me to form long-term, trusting relationships with my patients, which is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. My approach is holistic, addressing both physical health and emotional wellbeing, particularly as patients age and face new health challenges.

In my practice, I provide comprehensive primary care with additional expertise in geriatrics. I manage a wide range of chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, while also addressing preventive care, cognitive decline, and other issues related to aging. As the medical director of the Department of Medicine’s Faculty Group Practice, I lead a team dedicated to offering seamless, coordinated care across specialties. I believe that trust is the foundation of a successful patient–provider relationship, and I take the time to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand, helping my patients feel confident in managing their health.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am passionate about advancing the field of primary care, particularly for aging populations. I have contributed to research focused on improving outcomes for older adults and have authored numerous peer-reviewed articles on chronic disease management, preventive strategies, and enhancing the quality of primary care. I also served as vice-chair of the Quality and Performance Measurement Committee of the American Geriatrics Society, where I helped develop metrics aimed at improving patient care.

Education is a significant part of my career. As a clinical professor in the Department of Medicine, I help to prepare the next generation of physicians for the challenges and rewards of primary care and geriatrics. For over a decade, I hosted The Healthy Aging Show on Sirius XM’s Doctor Radio, engaging in discussions with leading experts on topics ranging from disease prevention to managing dementia.

I am deeply committed to providing the highest quality care, empowering my patients to take control of their health, and helping them navigate the healthcare system with confidence. It is an honor to be part of their healthcare journey.
