Elliot Ian Grodstein, MD, performs transplant and hepatobiliary surgery for children and adults. A fellow of the American College of Surgeons and member of the American Society of Transplant Surgery, Dr. Grodstein keeps a close eye to innovations in transplantation and surgery for the liver, bile ducts and gallbladder. During his fellowship at University of Wisconsin at Madison, Dr. Grodstein was involved in the early trials of normothermic machine preservation of the liver, a new way of preserving livers so more are available for transplant. Today, he is involved with many organizations, like the United Network for Organ Sharing, that advocate for improvements in transplant and liver care. Some of his greatest joys include serving on patient-level advocacy groups like the Transplant Recipient International Organization, where he can hear the concerns of transplant recipients and find solutions. Ever since he was a child, Dr. Grodstein knew he wanted to be a transplant surgeon. One day while driving to a football game, his father, a kidney specialist, called a patient who had been on dialysis for seven years. It was their turn to get a life-saving gift—a kidney transplant. By the time they reached the stadium, Dr. Grodstein realized he wanted to be a part of these special moments for the rest of his life. Dr. Grodstein knows there is no small surgery for any patient. He treats each operation as if it were for a member of his own family—a compassionate approach to care that’s featured in the critically acclaimed Netflix docuseries Emergency NYC. And, since Dr. Grodstein is part of Northwell Health, you can expect access to an entire team of transplant and liver professionals, from radiologists to pathologists to medical doctors, who all feel the same. You may only see Dr. Grodstein—but your unique care plan has been crafted by many experts in the field of liver medicine and hepatology.

Niraj Manubhai Desai, MD

Niraj Desai, MD, is an adult and pediatric transplant surgeon and director of the Center for Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation at the Northwell Transplant Institute. Previously, he served as director of the kidney and pancreas transplant program at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and director of pancreas transplant at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.Dr. Desai first found a passion for transplantation surgery while he was doing immunology research during medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. As transplant surgeons, we spend a lot of time being immunologists, fighting the immune system just enough to prevent rejection but also avoid infection. It's a fascinating field.After more than 14 years at Johns Hopkins, the opportunity to help build a program at a large health care system with an extensive patient base and geographic reach is what drew Dr. Desai to Northwell in 2024. There is so much potential here at Northwell for innovative care for the transplant recipient. We have a few notable advantages. Foremost is having so many top-notch specialists with years of full-time, real-world clinical experience all together under one roof. Our team has seen all the different things that might come up for a patient, he said. Yet for a large program with vast resources, we feel like a small, close-knit group of colleagues. I have immediate access to all the medical specialists as well as dieticians, social workers, pharmacists and administrators for evaluations, follow-up appointments and beyond. This embedded proximity and everyday communication is something the institute does really well.Frequent and open communication is not only a top priority at the institute, but also with outside partner physicians. One part of my job is doing outreach and meeting with nephrologists in person. Kidney patients see us at the Transplant Institute for about a year, but the relationship between our nephrologists and the patient's doctor continues as long as they're alive. We're in it for the long haul.
