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,whichwas 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 andcompassion to deliver the most appropriate individualized treatment options.

Yung Park, MD, is a double board-certified internal medicine and psychiatry physician serving patients at Elevate Medical in Midtown Manhattan.
While practicing internal medicine and psychiatry for the past 20 years, Dr. Yung Park is most passionate about Mental Wellness, recognizing that our physical and emotional well being are intertwined--influencing the other. Nurturing both, optimizes both. Neglecting one, limits the other. Sometimes physical symptoms manifest or amplify from underlying emotional turbulence. Other times, mental health symptoms are secondary to a medical root cause.
The pandemic of 2020 shook the world and our minds. It provided an opportunity for an awakening within each of us--reassessing what is important and asking ourselves, "Who am I," and "What have I been doing?" We have become tired of the external linear motivations of the world. Consciousness is rising. Our craving to know ourselves from within is an authentic innate curiosity of being human that gets blocked from years of developing the armor called our ego.
Dr. Park's internal motivation is to assist those who are seeking to know themselves more, desiring to love themselves more, to be kinder to themselves so to live in this world in harmony and peace from within amidst the chaos of our everyday life.
Dr. Park believes that you are your own therapist and you have the answers to heal. The journey begins by awakening your inner consciousness.
Dr. Park leads Elevate Medical's Certified SPRAVATO® Treatment Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York for Treatment Resistant Depression and Suicidality.
During her downtime, Dr. Park enjoys spending it with her family, SaLang and Mandu exploring nature trails throughout Upstate New York and beautifying the land by conserving, reusing and giving back to it.
