Meet DrErika
Erika Schwartz, MD is an internationally-recognized patient advocate, practicing
physician, expert in conventional and integrative medicine and a frequent
guest on TV and radio. She has authored four books, lectures on health and
wellness issues to corporations and their employees and has written a weekly
magazine column read by 10 million people.
DrErika has appeared on CBS's The Early Show, the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, The View, Fox News Channel, Chris Mathews, Larry King Live, Montel Williams and many more national and local newscasts around the country. In addition, she has hosted and
produced her own TV show, "Health Horizons" sponsored by Montefiore Medical
Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine, N.Y., and created and starred in
a 90 minute PBS pledge special focusing on women's health.
DrErika has been the subject of and written articles for many publications,
including The Wall Street Journal, W, Glamour, Women's Health, USA Today,
The New York Times, The Boston Herald, Vogue, Shape, Self and Natural
Health.
As the pre-eminent patients' advocate, DrErika provides sound and unbiased
information to help patients take responsibility for creating a positive
outcome in their health and life. Her encouraging, common sense approach stimulates debate with the aim to improve a health system that has failed the
individual and is in desperate need of fixing.
While she respects both the advances of traditional medicine and the
proliferation of alternative healing cures, DrErika believes Americans are
confused by the choices they face and is determined to protect them from
biased marketing and one-sided media stories.
One such example is her involvement in the debate over bioidentical
hormones. DrErika has been working with bioidenticals for the past 11
years and has published two books detailing her clinical experience and has extensively researched the published scientific data
on their use. She was invited to Capitol Hill to help members of Congress better understand bioidentical hormone therapies and the confusion created around them by drug company marketing and members of the medical profession.
Born in communist Romania, DrErika spent the first 15 years of her life learning 5 languages and going to school in her native country. She graduated high school at the prestigious Overseas School of Rome in Italy. Settled in New York City at the age of 16, she obtained her undergraduate degree at New York University on an academic scholarship. DrErika graduated cum laude from SUNY-Downstate College of Medicine in New York.
After a residency in internal medicine and critical care at Kings County Hospital Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, DrErika became the youngest and first woman in the US to become the medical director of an academic center Emergency Department; at Westchester County Medical Center in New York. As part of her legacy, DrErika worked to greatly improve the hospital's efficiencies by introducing the helicopter, ambulance, paramedic and 911 systems to Westchester County.
In 1984, DrErika started her own private practice in internal medicine and unhappy with the lack of positive results in conventional medicine, began to utilize integrative methods to help improve and protect her patients' health. The success she found in the preventive and integrative approach to her private practice inspired her to first research and later include the use of natural hormones (bioidenticals). The outcomes were remarkable.
Patients treated with the comprehensive programs she developed consistently stayed healthier and more productive than their statistically similar counterparts.
As a result, DrErika has written four best selling books that specifically help her readers achieve better health by creating a solid healthy balance, including proper diet, exercise, lifestyle, bioidentical hormones and supplements as well as appropriate use of conventional medical help and improvement in self-awareness and confidence. DrErika provides extensve pro-bono care to women who do not have the means or access to good healthcare.
As a columnist and lecturer, her audience is wide and the topics she covers include:
Patient empowerment to create better doctor-patient communication,
Helping patients make safer and better healthcare choices,
Understanding the role hormones play in health and illness at all ages,
Learning to evaluate the role and proper place for medical testing,
Eliminating intimidation and fear from the healthcare dynamic,
Understanding how drug companies control the healthcare system and how to protect ourselves,
The power of relationships and how they affect our health,
Pre-empting scare tactics in medical care,
Teaching how to control the cost of medical care at the individual level.
