Barbara Alpert, MD, PhD

Joining Northwell's Concierge Services in Harrison allows me to provide patient care in a way consistent with my beliefs and values. This practice approach enables me to be the very best doctor I can be. At Northwell, I have the privilege of spending ample time with patients, listening to and learning about their values, their desires for their health, and the challenges or barriers they face. With a deeper understanding of my patients, I can individualize care. Care that is personalized and tailored to the individual is not only more satisfying for the doctor and patient, it is also more effective. When doctor and patient partner to find solutions, these solutions are more likely to be ones that the patient adopts sustainably. Access to a caring and informed physician is intrinsic to the concierge model. I recognize the membership model may present a financial burden for some. My hope is that in return for that investment, a close relationship is built on a foundation of trust and aligned goals. Additionally, I work with a highly experienced team singularly focused on the navigation of a complex health care system. My team will ensure that timely referrals are provided as required and will book the necessary appointments. My views have been formed from extensive training at leading institutions, beginning with my Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard University, my deep love for the science and art of medicine, an ongoing commitment to education, years of practice, and knowledge gained from caring for patients over decades. When not practicing medicine, I enjoy time spent with my family and friends. My hobbies include gardening, cooking, hiking, skiing, and golf.
