About Us

Weill Cornell Medicine’s Geriatric and Palliative Care physicians offer advanced and compassionate palliative care in New York. Our Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine team provides an extensive network of resources for the comprehensive care of older adults, bringing together a wide range of services that provide easy access to high-quality care. Weill Cornell Medicine gerontologists coordinate closely with physicians in other practices, such as neurology and psychiatry, as needed to offer the full spectrum of palliative treatments.

Weill Cornell Medicine – New York's Expert Geriatric Specialists

Physicians and nurse practitioners at the Irving Sherwood Wright Center on Aging provide both primary care and consultation in a multidisciplinary, collaborative setting. The Center also runs Housecalls, an innovative program that brings physicians to the homes of elderly patients in the neighborhood of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and delivers care for those unable to visit our physicians.

Additionally, in the summer of 1999, Weill Cornell Medicine formed the Center for Aging Research and Clinical Care, which integrates all geriatrics activities across the institution. The Center is administered by Weill Cornell Medicine's Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, and its mission is to improve the quality of life of older adults through an integration of NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine's Aging Programs in research, clinical care, and teaching.

What Our Patients Are Saying

C C.

Dr. Petrou is a very patient and caring doctor. Efficient and thorough. He is congruent with all my other doctors at WC. Manages my pain management in line with other medications and provides alternative methods.

Talking about Tikva Jacobs, MD

Dr Jacobs was warm and thoughtful in her analysis. Her technician who did the sonogram was beyond thorough and I was confident all the appropriate views were captured. Dr. Jacob’s explained everything clearly and gave me a number of options to think about.

Talking about Sharif Ellozy, M.D.

Dr. Ellozy is an extraordinary excellent doctor...He is very professional, he is wonderful, kind, and caring. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything in detail, and never made me feel rushed. He made me feel comfortable during my visit and left his office feeling relieved. Definitely will recommend him to others.
