Dr. Yana Shtern, MD

What Dr. Shtern does in a day is Internal Medicine: physicals, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, infections, the questions that come with getting older, and keeping track of everything a patient’s other doctors are doing. Her second board certification, in Nephrology, shapes how she does it. Kidney function and blood pressure affect nearly every medication decision, and she reads those numbers the way a kidney specialist does.
