Clinical trials are the principal mechanism by which new information is brought to the clinic in order to improve patient care. When a physician or other health care provider meets with a patient and their family to review treatment options and plan out a management strategy, the discussion is guided by data generated from clinical research studies. Advancing clinical research is essential to the missions of Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian. 

Weill Cornell Medicine's network of expert physicians works with partner institutions across all medical specialties. This includes NewYork-Presbyterian, one of the top hospital systems in New York City and the U.S. for 17 years running, and the Hospital for Special Surgery, which has the top-ranked orthopedics program in the country.

Physicians at Weill Cornell Medicine are among the best in the country — but don’t take our word for it.

Weill Cornell physicians are able to access electronic referrals. Through insurance companies' websites or WebMD, we are able to quickly obtain important referral information for patients either before or on the day of their visit. To make the referral process as efficient as possible, we strongly encourage referring physicians to submit referrals electronically via WebMD or through insurance companies' individual websites.

Weill Cornell Medicine physicians are faculty members of Weill Cornell Medical College, one of the top-ranked clinical and medical research centers in the country. They are also attending physicians at one of the most comprehensive care facilities in the world — NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Weill Cornell Medicine physicians have consistently been leaders in patient care, in primary care as well as in many specialty areas as diverse as in-vitro fertilization, neurology, oncology, and HIV/AIDS care.
