Dr. Saltzman realized a calling to medicine during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis in New York City in the mid-eighties.  Prior to entering the field of medicine Dr. Saltzman worked in the music business for record companies and publishers. Moving in the NYC club scene of the nineties, Dr. Saltzman saw many of her friends and colleagues become ill with AIDS.  She observed the rampant prejudice and stigma that LGBTQ people and IV drug users suffered, and committed herself to becoming a physician specializing in HIV/AIDS.

Despite not having a background in the sciences Dr. Saltzman was able to earn admission to medical school, while supporting herself as a single parent.  After medical school, she chose to do her residency at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City, which was at the forefront of providing specialized treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS.  After completing her residency, she practiced at the Samuels Clinic at Roosevelt Hospital (now The Institute for Advanced Medicine at Mount Sinai), a major outpatient center for patients during the epidemic.  While practicing at the Samuels Clinic, Dr. Saltzman was an early prescriber of the “triple cocktail”, the first effective combination therapy for HIV.

Dr. Saltzman’s interest in addiction was born out of her experience providing care for HIV/AIDS patients who were often IV drug users. She was one of the first physicians in New York City to embrace the use of Suboxone, a novel medication for the treatment of opiate addiction, that allows patients to access treatment without daily clinic visits as is the case with methadone therapy.  Suboxone was one of the first therapies approved for in-office prescribing under the federal Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000. By prescribing Suboxone on an outpatient basis Dr. Saltzman is able to help patients get back to their work and family, and functioning at a high level.

Dr. Saltzman founded her busy Midtown Health and Wellness Center in 2000.  She focuses on providing individualized care, realizing that patients need more than the standardized approach for addiction treatment.  Dr. Saltzman provides guidance through all stages of recovery, supporting patients with primary care, individual and group therapy. She feels addiction is treated incorrectly in many settings with a focus on simply handing out prescriptions, instead of a more comprehensive approach.
Dr. Saltzman is a well-known expert in the field of addiction and regularly expresses her views on television, radio, and in the press.  She uses warmth and humor to engage with her patients. She understands where they’re coming from and does not judge them, using empathy and compassion to deliver the most appropriate individualized treatment options.

Dr. Aziz is the founder of the practice that focuses on traditional and  functional Medicine (treating the root cause of disease). In his first book, The Perfect 10 Diet, Dr. Aziz details his disappointment to see many outdated guidelines preached by various medical organizations. Many research studies demonstrated the danger of low-fat diets and synthetic hormones. Dr. Aziz had to find his own way to improve his health and his patients, hence, his interest in natural remedies, peptides, bio-identical hormones. Dr Aziz retrained with the the American Academy of Anti-aging in Functional Medicine. Dr. Aziz authored "The Perfect 10 Diet." A diet that encourages full-fat products from butter to whole milk. It was in sharp contrast to the low-fat diet dogma. The Perfect 10 Diet was also different from both low-carb and keto diets as it didn't allow any chemicals such as nitrites or artifical sweeteners, not just sugar. 

The Perfect 10 Diet helped thousands of his patients live better and improve their health. His patients dropped tons of weight, normalized their blood pressure, and improved their cholesterol naturally. He was compelled to get the message out to the masses in a book. The Perfect 10 Diet which started in the office as pamphlets was now a book in the spotlight. The Perfect 10 Diet and Dr. Michael Aziz were featured on the cover of "First for Women," one of the largest distributed magazines in the United States. The Perfect 10 Diet went on to become a national bestseller. The Perfect 10 Diet hit the number one spot on Barnes and Noble in 2010. In 2011, The Perfect 10 Diet hit the number one spot on Amazon for twelve consecutive weeks. The Perfect 10 Diet was translated into many languages including; Italian, Chinese, Mandarin, Slovenian, Urdu, Malay, and Indonesian. Dr. Aziz and The Perfect 10 Diet were featured on countless TV shows including "The View," "The Doctors," "Fox and Friends", and "Dr. Oz."

in 2024 and after a long hiatus, Dr. Aziz authored his second book The Ageless Plan. It was the Covid-19 pandemic that showed him our vulnerability  as a nation with higher deaths rates compared to other nations that weathered the pandemic better. Dr Aziz says  "As Americans we are leaving two decades on the table that we can live in great health." The Ageless Plan is a book that promotes anti-aging, great health, and longevity through diet, lifestyle, supplements, medications, and peptides. The book has been picked by HCI publishing house and is due for release in early  January 2025. 

Dr Aziz is a prolific medical contributor to Life Extension Magazine. He has also been a contributor to The Boardroom Newsletters which reached over 7 million subscribers with health advice before the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Aziz's columns, articles, and opinions have been published in the LA Times, CNN, Washington Post, WebMD, NY Post, the Daily News, as well as in many magazines internationally such as Paris Match.

Dr. Aziz regularly provides medical commentary on many health networks, including NPR, Fox and Friends, ABC, WGN Chicago, NBC, Telemundo, and Dubai TV. Dr. Aziz is passionate about philanthropy. He has volunteered to help New Yorkers during the Covid-19 pandemic, and has volunteered in underserved rural areas in Indonesia.

A Note from Dr. Lyon

I'm Dr. Valerie Lyon, and it's a pleasure to welcome you to Lyon Primary Care, in Midtown, New York, NY.

The doctor-patient relationship is ideally a long-term collaboration.  You and I work together to help keep you healthy, and if difficulties should arise, we want you to know you can look to us for supportive, attentive and skilled medical care.

Though most of my patients are young women, often new to New York, I also see many others, both male and female, whom I’ve worked with since I started in private practice more than two decades ago.  

I perform many of the same clinical services an internist does, but as a family practitioner, much of my work also involves routine office gynecology, including Pap smears, oral contraceptives and diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases.

As a clinical instructor at NYU Langone Medical Center, I refer my patients to many of the most widely respected in-network specialists in the city.  Whether it's here in our office or with a specialist we refer you to, we hope you'll feel that someone is sensitive to your concerns, and giving you the care you look for in a doctor.

I look forward to meeting you.

 

Sincerely,

Val Lyon, MD

Hi, I’m Dr Matt Pabis. I’m a board certified family medicine doctor trained in upstate New York where I learned how to do a lot on my own, and now I’m practicing back home in the city where I handle as much as I can in the office without sending you all over the city for needless referrals.

I was raised in New York City. I completed my residency in Schenectady NY. I started off working for a big corporate medical practice in Harlem, but found that it did not give me the time to really know my patients. It felt like an assembly line; 15 minutes to see one problem and move on. I didn’t want to practice medicine like that. I wanted to get to know my patients, and really understand them to make their lives and health better.

Then the opportunity to start a primary care practice in a pain management, orthopedic, and cosmetic practice presented itself and I jumped on it. I loved my time there, but it still did not feel quite like home. Even though there was a lot to learn and do, the variety of patients wasn’t there.

So I decided to move on and start my own primary care practice. I also took the position of a medical director of a psychiatric, and substance abuse clinic in the same building where my office is located.

I developed a practice where I work with my patients to help them be as healthy as they can be. I don’t push one medicine or another, I am always open to new ideas or new treatment plans, and every treatment plan is developed with you. If option 1 or option 2 don’t work for you, we can figure an option that does work.

Additionally I’m comfortable with opioid addiction therapy, medical cannabinoids, preventive HIV medication, and Vivitrol Injections. And in some occasions, I can do house calls.
