Russell Adam Brandwein, PA

Dr. Janice Aubey‘s practice is dedicated to caring for women from adolescence through menopause. Her clinical practice is divided between office care, in-patient obstetrics, and surgical gynecology. She prides herself on maintaining a breadth of practice which permits her to serve as a healthcare provider and adviser for patients throughout their reproductive years. Dr. Aubey elected to study medicine after working in community planning in Cameroon, West Africa. She earned a Master’s in Public Health from Tulane University of School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and a Medical Degree from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. Her interest in global health led her to travel throughout Africa and Latin America. She speaks French and Spanish proficiently. She completed a year of post-graduate training at Memorial Sloane Kettering where she studied indicators for quality of life in patients following extensive surgery for advanced pelvic cancers. Dr. Aubey serves as Medical Director of the Postpartum Service at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. As a front-line practitioner and researcher by training, she is actively involved in obstetric simulation, protocol development and the re-design efforts for labor and delivery and the postpartum service. Simulation in obstetrics allows medical team members to re-create emergencies such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage, and hypertensive crisis in order to critically evaluate practices. These exercises ultimately lead to improved team coordination preparedness. Dr. Aubey’s administrative activities support her focus on patients’ healthcare experience by working to improve patient safety and quality assurance.

Wakenda K. Tyler, MD, MPH specializes in the treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the bones and soft tissues in patients of all ages. As a musculoskeletal oncologist, Dr. Tyler’s practice is focused on the non-operative and operative management of primary soft tissue and bone cancers, sarcomas, and metastatic bone cancer. Dr. Tyler’s goal is to provide compassionate surgical care that achieves cure of cancer whenever possible by leveraging the latest advances in non-operative management, minimally invasive, and reconstructive surgical techniques. When cure is not possible she strives to achieve pain control and improve function as best as possible for every patient. Dr. Tyler earned her medical degree from The John Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she also received a masters degree in public health. She went on to complete residency training in orthopedic surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery, followed by a fellowship in musculoskeletal oncology at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. As an active physician scientist, Dr. Tyler’s research interests overlap with her clinical practice and center around the treatment of patients with bone and soft tissue tumors and conditions that lead to osteolysis (bone destruction as a result of implant wear and loosening or presence of a tumor). She has written medical journal articles on several bone diseases, the effectiveness of medication in penetrating to the site of bone grafts, and the strength of the bone and prosthesis union.
