Bio
Edit

Among the nation's top ketamine doctors, Dr. Radowitz is Chief Medical Officer of Nushama Psychedelic Wellness. Dr. Radowitz has a wealth of experience in treating patients with addictions and seeing firsthand the effects that trauma can have on our physical health. Dr. Radowitz joined Nushama to oversee and develop various treatment modalities because of his belief that psychedelic medicine is the future of mental wellness and that current solutions treat symptoms only and do not address the underlying issues.

Dr. Radowitz has been practicing internal medicine and primary care since 1998. He grew up in Montreal Canada where he completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Anatomy and Cell biology from McGill University. He then completed his medical degree at The Chicago Medical School and internal medicine residency at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. He worked as a hospitalist at St. Vincent’s Midtown medical center in New York City where he worked on the general medicine and HIV/ AIDS units and was medical director of the inpatient alcohol and opiate detox and treatment unit. He was also responsible for teaching medical students and interns.

He then went into private practice in Manhattan, specializing in general medicine and HIV care.

He also provided acute care services at the health centers at Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. He currently provides HIV care services for students at Columbia University where he was an assistant clinical professor. Dr. Radowitz currently runs the primary care program at Goldman Sachs and maintains his private practice in Manhattan.

He has been and continues on a spiritual journey through the study of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, studied transcendental meditation and various forms of yoga. Dr. Radowitz has a passion for preventive medicine, getting to the true source of disease before it manifests. He sees the source of disease as a dis-ease that results from a misalignment of mind, body and spirit. He sees psychedelic medicine as a powerful tool to help become aware of the origin of this imbalance and guide us on a path to wholeness, health and wellbeing.

(Mr. Meloff said Nushama avoids the word “patients” internally, in favor of “clients” or “members.”) They turn away an estimated 10 percent of potential patients if they lack a “good foundation or support network,” struggle with substance abuse, have high blood pressure or haven’t been treated previously for a psychiatric condition, Dr. Radowitz said.
