Itay Wiser MD

Dr. Itay Wiser is a New York Licensed and an Israeli Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He is an attending plastic surgeon and the Chief of Surgical Ambulatory Services at Harlem Hospital after completing two specialty fellowship programs: a reconstructive microsurgery fellowship specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, and a Lymphedema surgery fellowship program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

He holds a PhD in epidemiology and public health from the Sackler School of Medicine in Israel, which helps him to evaluate novel published treatments and technologies that can benefit his patients. He believes that his medical knowledge directly correlates with the quality of care he provide to his patients, and therefore, in addition to patient care, he is routinely involved in medical research.

He is the author of more than 50 peer reviewed scientific publications, and has often presented his own work in international plastic surgery conferences. His main research interest is patient reported outcome measurement, a new tool that puts the patient in the center of care.

He cares for every patient like she or he is his first degree relative. He is responsible for his patients no matter the outcome, and without an expiration date. His relationship with patients is built on mutual trust, honesty and setting realistic expectations.
