Jacob Silberstein, MD — Emergency Medicine physician, Sage Urgent Care, Berkeley Heights, NJ

Physician — Emergency Medicine

Dr. Silberstein trained in emergency medicine at North Shore University Hospital — Northwell Health's flagship academic medical center on Long Island — where he developed expertise in the full spectrum of acute care, from minor injuries and infections to more complex presentations that require careful evaluation. Northwell's emergency medicine residency emphasizes evidence-based practice and the kind of careful clinical decision-making that translates directly to urgent care work.

He focuses on the kinds of issues that bring families into urgent care: fractures and sprains, lacerations needing stitches, occupational injuries, and the everyday illnesses that don't wait for a primary care appointment. His goal at every visit is to combine emergency-trained clinical judgment with the time and attention an urgent care setting allows — something that's often missing in fast-paced ER environments.
