About Jay A. Erlebacher, MD

Dr. Erlebacher is a consulting cardiologist with subspecialties in pacemaker implantation, cardio-oncology (detection and treatment of the cardiotoxic effects of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy), and echocardiography. He is medical director of Englewood Hospital's Echocardiography Laboratory. He came to Englewood after practicing for five years in the cardiovascular division at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He obtained his cardiology training at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

The author of numerous peer-reviewed research papers, abstracts, and book chapters, Dr. Erlebacher participates in clinical research as a principal investigator and holds four U.S. patents in medical technology. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

I believe that the first purpose of a physician is simply to make patients feel better and live longer. The first step, of course, is to make the correct diagnosis. I find that I learn the most about my patients and their medical problems just by listening to them. And so, my approach is to hone in on the right diagnosis first by carefully listening to the patient's symptoms and concerns, and then by doing just the tests that are appropriate, as opposed to excess testing with little benefit. Similarly, I endeavor to apply a thoughtful approach to each individual patient's treatment, using their preferences and the most up-to-date therapies, making sure that my treatment provides the greatest benefit with the lowest risk.
