Dr. Michael Diaz is a board certified Emergency Medicine physician, passionate about forming meaningful connections with his patients and helping them heal during the most turbulent moments of their lives. After entering the medical field at the age of seventeen as an EMT at Fordham University, he realized a natural drive to help others live their healthiest lives. He went on to complete his medical degree at SUNY Buffalo, and then returned to NYC to complete his residency at NYU Langone Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital. Over the course of those four years, he had the pleasure of treating NYC’s most underserved populations, and recognized a tremendous gap in access to mental health treatment in the U.S. During this time, Mike also proudly served his community as an ER physician at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
