But when it happens, it sure helps to have someone with the know-how who can quickly figure out what’s wrong, devise a plan to make it go away, and answer all our questions without reservation, no matter how much hand-holding might be needed. For that reason we turned to Castle Connolly, the physician-led, patient-trusted medical data research group whose job it is to evaluate doctors across the country, for a comprehensive directory of the best medical talent in our area. And from this list, we selected six physicians and asked them to debunk myths and clarify questions specific to their chosen specialties. To maintain its database, Castle Connolly’s experts routinely turn to leaders in the medical profession to identify the MDs who are believed to be the best in their respective specialties and fields. It is from this resource that they assembled their final selections for us to share with you. This list, our most comprehensive to date, includes 393 doctors in fourty-seven specialties. Hopefully you won’t need to refer to it, but we suggest you keep it handy, just in case. JANUARY 2014 GREENWICH 91 Shieva L. Ghofrany Specialty: Obstetrics & Gynecology, Stamford Hospital We caught up with Dr. Ghofrany just as she’d finished delivering twins via cesarean section. This led us to start with the following... What’s with all the C-sections? Are they just a matter of convenience, and an easier way for the doctor to make more money? I’m glad you asked. Let me dispel this myth: C-sections are not ‘better for the doctor’ and we don’t get paid more for one delivery method versus another. After a C-section we need to see the patient for all four mornings they’re in the hospital, versus two for a vaginal delivery. We don’t get paid extra for the extra visits, and we don’t get paid more if someone is in labor for ten hours versus if the baby pops out. In most instances we get paid a global fee from the insurance company. This includes thirty-two weeks of pregnancy care plus delivery and post-delivery visits. And we don’t get paid until the end. As for why the C-section rate has been higher, when you look at the patient population there are a lot of older pregnant women these days, many of whom, unfortunately, are also overweight. And more people are having twins. Just the obesity rate and twins alone is enough to increase the C-section rate. Neither delivery method is ‘better’ than the other. I had both [methods] with my children. Herpes and HPV seem to be in the news a lot lately. Has this affected your practice? Sadly, I’m hearing from many of my married patients that they 92 GREENWICHMAG.COM fear their husbands are unfaithful. They’re worried about these viruses and infections and they want to get tested. I’ve been hearing that more and more. It’s a common misconception that herpes is always relegated to people who are promiscuous. Forty percent of us may carry it and not know it. Another common [myth] is that if you have HPV (human papillomavirus), you will have cervical cancer. Carrying [HPV] is extremely common. About 90 percent of us carry it at some point in our lifetime, though many of us don’t ever know we carried it, and far, far less than 1 percent will actually get [cervical cancer]; there are only about 5,000 to 8,000 cases of cervical cancer in America per year. Any trends in birth control? More of my young patients are using IUDs. I have to remind them to also use condoms. What questions should a patient concerned about infertility be prepared to answer? We send many of our patients to fertility specialists, but we do initiate workups when appropriate. A patient should be able to tell us about her general health, her partner’s health, her menstrual cycle—how often she gets her period, how long it lasts—and her sexual history. Isn’t it hard to determine on a CT scan or X-ray what a spot on a lung really is? Yes, but as part of the process we ask where the patient was born, where they grew up, whether they were born in parts of the country where there are certain organisms in the soil. And we have something called a ‘tumor board.’ There are twenty to thirty doctors—radiologists, oncologists, thoracic surgeons—[who] review all the patients being seen and collectively talk about the best approach to come to a consensus. We also look at the metabolic activity on a PET scan. Aren’t more nonsmokers getting lung cancer? It feels like a new trend. About 15 percent of women who have lung cancer have never smoked. Most of the patients who have [genetic] mutations have never been smokers, many Asians, but also lots of non-Asians. We don’t quite understand what’s going on. Stephen M. Winter Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Norwalk Hospital Clinical Professor, Yale University School of Medicine What’s new in pulmonology at Norwalk Hospital? We’ve been designated as a Lung Cancer Center of Excellence, one of only six in the United States. We conduct lung-cancer screening for free for certain patients in a high-risk category—we do a low-dose CT scan. This has been found to reduce lung cancer deaths by 20 percent. Our ability to detect lung cancer earlier has changed the face of things so we can diagnose it and we can cure it. We use robot-assisted surgical procedures and the new chemotherapy is just pills. That’s been a huge change. The TV seems to be filled with ads about treating COPD. What is this? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the way we think of the obstruction of the lungs. The airways are diseased in some way, whether from severe emphysema to chronic bronchitis to asthma. Most COPD is really a smoking-related disease. Should all smokers be checked for this? People who have smoked more than a little should have a pulmonary function test. Patients who begin to have early signs of disease are at higher risk for lung cancer. Early detection is key for both alerting the doctor and the patient. As people get older, they will compensate in subtle ways. The changes are gradual so you don’t notice. Lung cancer is such a bad disease. If it’s left untreated you begin to get symptoms and it spreads. It’s not a subtle disease. Christopher J. Howes Specialty: Interventional Cardiology, Greenwich Hospital and Yale-New Haven Hospital What is an interventional cardiologist? The majority of cardiologists are noninvasive cardiologists. But interventional cardiologists are a subspecialty; we do procedures designed to treat and hopefully stabilize heart conditions. treatments of coronary disease. It’s part of the success story of health care. But as the population ages, [heart failure] is increasingly more common. Although heart attack [rates] have stabilized, heart failure is becoming more common. Is this area growing? Is heart failure inevitable? Yes and no. As medication advances, and smoking cessation advances, there are more long-term, noninvasive No, there are healthy ninety-year-olds who do not have heart failure. Any particular reasons why? Number one: They’re born with good luck. Number two: They don’t smoke. The most common cause of death in smokers is not lung cancer; it is heart attack and stroke. Number three: They’re not obese. Obesity is associated with many of the risk factors that lead to heart disease. How does a person know they need this intervention? There are lots of different scenarios. There are [the] patients JANUARY 2014 GREENWICH 93 who think they are well and [then] they wake up at two in the morning with severe discomfort in their chest, like an elephant is sitting on their chest, and their spouse convinces them to call 911. They have an EKG in the ambulance, which is transmitted to the emergency room physician. We’re seeing what they look like on the EKG and we typically know exactly what they’re going to need. We take them right to the catheter lab and advance a catheter up through the arterial system to the heart, where we insert X-ray fluid into the arteries. Then we thread a wire through the blockages and try to reestablish blood flow. We try to do it all within one hour; we call it the golden hour. I collaborate with fifteen interventionalists. We might do about 1,500 interventions a year. abuse in our adolescents and that seems wrong on some very fundamental levels. There seems to be so much more in the media about bullying. Is that a big problem? Bullying is becoming more and more prevalent. Let’s be honest, putting up a sign in the school cafeteria is not enough to stop bullying. Efforts toward kindness and social integration are imperative. Social networking can be an extraordinarily divisive force. You’re not ‘social’ when you’re on a device. Our technology, instead of bringing us together, is invariably pulling us apart. Is this happening with adults too? The news has us thinking differently about cholesterol numbers... It’s a complicated story. People got the message to know [their] number; lower [it] and you lower your risk. Once you have identified someone as ‘at risk,’ it’s pretty clear that taking statin drugs lowers that risk. So we’ll have to see what happens with the numbers, but I think that if you identify someone whom you think is a risk, you should give them a real dose of statin drugs. Another item in the news is the potential for increased risk of heart disease in men who inject themselves with testosterone. This is a hard thing to pinpoint. Just because some guy uses testosterone and has a heart attack doesn’t mean the testosterone caused the heart attack. However—I’m just one guy and this is one guy’s opinion—thinking that [testosterone is] the fountain of youth? It’s not. It’s a huge industry and it’s not being studied in a rigorous way. 94 GREENWICHMAG.COM F. Carl Mueller Specialty: Psychiatry, Stamford Hospital What are you seeing more of today? Depression is the big topic these days, especially adolescent depression. It almost seems like an epidemic. We are treating it in all its permutations. A child might say, ‘I’m suicidal,’ and the parent might think, ‘Oh, they’re being so dramatic.’ Sometimes there’s a dismissive quality to that but comments like this are not to be taken lightly. Substance abuse among teens is also huge around here, and that includes alcohol and opiate abuse. To some extent there’s a tolerance to alcohol abuse and marijuana abuse. But in reality, studies have shown there really is cognitive impairment at that age. We are much more tolerant of alcohol Yes. My wife and I were out to dinner and there was a table nearby with five people sitting there. For twenty minutes nobody talked to each other. They were all on their devices! One of the most important tasks of being an adolescent is the emulation of adult behavior. In most Western cultures, adolescents spend a lot of time with adults. But here our adolescents spend a lot of time with other adolescents, and it’s over electronic devices. There are disinhibitory effects of electronic media. [Users] will say and do things they would not say to your face. They allow people to be harsher. Then, when they do interact face-to-face, they actually do become harsher. We are fragile creatures and we do need a little more social integration. The more social isolation people are in, the more they are going to act idiosyncratically to the world. Speaking of social isolation, we seem to be hearing more about Asperger’s syndrome than in the past… There’s been much in the media about Asperger’s, and there’s a change in the works in the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) regarding the way it will be designated. The Asperger’s diagnosis is going away. It will be considered on the mild end of the autism spectrum. How much autism is enough to warrant a disorder and how much is it just the quirky kid in the corner? We all have quirks toward depression and anxiety. The focus is on functionality. Neal A. Fischbach Specialty: Medical Oncology Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent’s Medical Center What’s new in oncology? The newest thing in oncology is personalized medicine, an attempt to tailor therapy to the molecular changes of someone’s individual tumor. There are a variety of techniques, including sequencing the genes of a tumor and understanding that tumor as more than the sum of its genetic types. We are able to identify driver mutations in similar cancer types. In chronic myelogenous leukemia, for example, there is one mutation that is responsible for that leukemia [that] we can totally shut down with a pill. [Targeted therapies] is probably the holy grail of oncology. Radiation treatment seems to be more targeted as well these days… Targeted radiation is exquisitely, finely targeted to a tumor site. This has been a huge advance in radiation therapy for some indications. What has made this possible is exquisitely accurate imaging for what is sometimes a moving target. What types of cancers are we seeing more? Pancreatic cancer is on the rise. So is cancer at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, related to chronic reflux. Liver cancer as well. What’s your specialty? I’m a general oncologist, but my practice has evolved to where I see 40 to 50 percent breast cancer [patients]. It’s probably the most common cancer we see in the community. There has been spectacular progress in all aspects of breast cancer prevention and screening and dramatic improvements in preventing recurrence. Breast cancer was one of the first kind of cancers using targeted therapies. We already cure three-quarters of the people who have it. You are in “community oncology?” Historically cancer care has been administered in a cancer setting. In an academic model interests may lie elsewhere, as in clinical trials, for example. The strength of community oncology is taking care of people and learning to practice in an extraordinarily resource-rich environment. We have access to novel therapeutics, but where we excel as an office is taking care of people. In our group, the house call is not dead. I get to help people through a really difficult time. Being an oncologist makes you a more serious person. That’s both good and bad. It has an emotional toll. It does make you grateful for the gifts you have. Any common misconceptions about cancer? The thing I spend the most time talking with people about is you don’t have to do anything to get cancer. Cancer is an illness. Anything else you’d like to share? I wish people would learn how to talk about cancer. When you have cancer, the cancer should be the hard part, not somebody else’s reaction. Being direct is better than being obtuse and circumspect. Asking somebody is better than staring. People who don’t have cancer don’t know what to say. What should they say? Maybe you can say, ‘What kind of cancer’s ass are you kicking today?’ For someone with cancer, every day is a butt-kicking day. JANUARY 2014 GREENWICH 95 Top Doctors 2014 A young person should be a Type 1 but she was presenting as a Type 2. We sent her for a test and she had just one mutation in her glucose sensor. One amino acid was switched for another in one spot and that caused her diabetes. What’s hot in endocrinology these days? Probably the hottest topic in my practice is the genetic basis of endocrine diseases. I’m sending more people for genetic screenings or tests. One of my patients looked like a Type 2 diabetes but she was in her early twenties. 96 GREENWICHMAG.COM Greenwich 203.532.1919 Hospital: Greenwich Joanna Zolkowski– Wynne Nutrition, Eating Disorders, Parenting Issues Bridgeport 203.384.3064 Hospital: Bridgeport The most well-known is Type 1. It used to be called juvenile diabetes. Your own body thinks of your pancreas as a foreign body and attacks it, like rejection. Because your body does not produce enough insulin, you need to be treated with it. Then there’s Type 2. You may have all different levels of insulin production but your body doesn’t ‘hear’ the insulin as well. There are all sorts of medications that can do all different things to help. We’re seeing a lot more of Type 2. Even kids are getting this one, probably because of the rise of obesity. Kenneth S. Backman Are diabetes and thyroid disease related? Norwalk 203.838.4034 Hospitals: Norwalk & Greenwich Paul S. Lindner It seems many more women get thyroid disease than men… Specialty: Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, Greenwich Hospital Eating Disorders, Obesity, Menstrual Disorders What’s the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes? They both are common disorders and there is a higher incidence of thyroid disease in diabetics. Judith C. GoldbergBerman ADOLESCENT MEDICINE Marcie B. Schneider Women with thyroid disease outnumber men 7-1. Women have more autoimmune diseases as well. Women have a more complex autoimmune system. Think about it: You have to be able to tolerate a whole other body in you without rejecting it. Do you mind when patients research a problem on the Internet before they come to you? Oh no, not at all. Patients in our geographic area are medically very sophisticated. They come in with spreadsheets even! Endocrinologists like data in general. Most of it is the patient’s history. They always said in medical school that if you listen to the patient, [he or she will] tell you the diagnosis. We look at your history, your physical [exam] and then your data. Once the information is assimilated then [we] can talk. If you want to be a really good doctor, you have to use all three together.

Castle Connolly’s established survey and research process, under the direction of an MD, involves many tens of thousands of physicians as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals and regional and community hospitals across the nation. Castle Connolly’s physicianled team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nominations process— located at castleconnolly. com/nominations—is open to all licensed physicians in America who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physician is, in their opinion, among the best in their region, in their medical specialty, or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Careful screening of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers. The result: We identify the top doctors in America and provide the consumer, with detailed information about their education, training and special expertise in our paperback guides, national and regional magazine Top Doctors features, and online directories. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected and profiled as Castle Connolly Top Doctors. Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s Top Doctors feature may also appear as Regional Top Doctors at castleconnolly. com, or in one of Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors™ guides, such as America’s Top Doctors® or America’s Top Doctors® for Cancer.
