Greetings, and welcome to MD News Long Island. This month's cover story profiles neurosurgeon Donald Krie, DO, FACOS, at Neurological Surgery P.C., and his 20-year focus on patient-centered care, which is supported by his conservative treatment algorithm of pain management and physical therapy before surgery becomes an option. Dr. Krie 's somewhat unconventional use of an operating microscope during disk herniation surgeries is one factor that separates him from other surgeons in the region. His patients, however, say it's his empathy, honesty and communication that set the board-certified surgeon apart from the rest. Young people with diabetes face a series of challenges as they move into adult care. A feature in our special clinical section about pediatrics examines a new transition model that improves outcomes including mean A1C levels and the frequency of blood glucose monitoring. We also review findings of an association between air pollution and increased diabetes risk among certain groups of children. Our national feature looks at the growing role of liq- uid biopsies. Your organization's leading-edge treatments, expert providers and advanced technologies gain a higher profile among the region's referring providers when you leverage MD News' multiple platforms to share your message.
