22 Oct Jeffrey Mayer, MD: A 2025 Unsung Hero

Dr. Jeffrey Mayer makes our department proud as an ambassador within the hospital and beyond. For more than a decade he has engaged with our disaster preparedness apparatus and continuously makes valuable contributions, representing us with the utmost professionalism and competence to outside entities such as the NY Rangers medical group. We were profoundly grateful for his service as a volunteer medical supervisor for NYP’s massive public vaccination clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic. His quiet humility coupled with his dependability and clinical excellence have made him an invaluable figure within and without our department.

In the clinical space, Dr. Mayer is a role model of kindness, compassionate care, and collegiality. His many years of his experience have not diminished his enthusiasm for rounding in the department to offer colleagues consultation on difficult cases or assistance with procedures. He is a clinical leader who we regularly rely upon to serve as the Administrative Attending, and who colleagues, residents, and PAs view as an eminently approachable ally for both clinical and non-clinical matters. Dr. Mayer is a true Unsung Hero.
