Tony is a practicing Emergency Physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a researcher in elder abuse and geriatric injury prevention. He has led the development of an Emergency Department-based multi-disciplinary VEPT to assess, treat, and ensure the safety of elder abuse and neglect victims while collecting evidence and working closely with the authorities. His research focuses on improving the identification, intervention, and prevention of elder abuse in the ED and other health care settings. Tony has collaborated with colleagues to improve physician documentation of geriatric injuries in a project supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Justice. Tony worked in horror movies (on the business side) for several years after college and then worked in mortgage default software before going to public health and medical school.
