Medical Education:
After graduating from medical school, Dr. Perlmutter was an intern at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, where he had his introduction to urology as a resident physician with an interest in urological research. He also spent six months training with the pioneers of kidney stone surgery at UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (both in Pennsylvania). Then he joined Beth Israel Hospital in New York City, where he served as a staff physician for several years before deciding to open his own urology clinic here.
Early Experiences in Medicine:
Ever since he was young, I wanted to be a doctor because of my family background and lifelong interest in the human body. At Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, I majored in biology and met many people with a thirst for knowledge. When it came time to pick my medical school, I chose the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine because it allowed me to study in an environment that was similar to that of major medical centers like Mount Sinai Hospital or Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. It was here where I saw what medicine had to offer those looking for relief from their illnesses and chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or infertility.
Career Changes:
Dr. Jeremy Perlmutter grew up on Long Island, New York, and majored in biology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from medical school at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and went on to complete his training in urology at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY, and Oregon Health Sciences University. He has been providing care to men with bladder incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and other prostate problems for over twenty years. After nearly two decades as a urologist, he decided to spend more time with his family and provide more wellness education to the community while still maintaining his professional practice locally.
Specialty Interests:
Dr. Perlmutter is one of the leading doctors in a urology clinic, which specializes in bladder and prostate issues. Our doctors are specialized to provide relief from urinary problems such as urgency, frequency, pain, or burning with urination and any other related conditions that can contribute to these symptoms such as prostate gland infections, a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), anatomical problems with the urinary system (strictures), pelvic kidney stones and urethral stricture as well as benign tumors of the bladder/prostate
Personal Life:
My great uncle was a doctor in Brooklyn and he influenced me to become a physician, says Dr. Perlmutter. Growing up on Long Island, New York, he developed an interest in science early on from playing with his chemistry set to watching the television show Sea Hunt starring Lloyd Bridges and Mike Nelson. Sea Hunt would be about shipwrecks and scientists exploring how marine life behaved underwater and that got me interested in the environment.
Dr. Perlmutter graduated high school as valedictorian of his class and continued at Emory University where he majored in biology. He received his medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He began working at Mt. Sinai Hospital in 1990 after completing his residency training there. Today, he is an Associate Attending Urologist and Assistant Professor of Urology at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City where he specializes in stone disease (urolithiasis) management, endourology procedures for stones not amenable to ESWL or shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), cystoscopy for bladder cancer screening and treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
