Research

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that prominently affects the lungs in almost all cases. There are multiple studies suggesting an interesting functional role of dendritic cells in this disease, which – together with the fact that our medical center is a longstanding center of excellence in sarcoidosis research and a regional referral center for patients with the whole spectrum of clinical disease phenotypes - makes it a prime candidate to assess the different DC subpopulations in affected human lung and locoregionary lymph node tissue and to correlate the findings with the various different disease phenotypes we see at Mount Sinai (resolving disease vs. chronically progressive or fibrosing disease).

Insurance Information

Accepted insurance may vary by the doctor’s office location. Please contact the office directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.

Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).

Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.

Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments

The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Well taken care of and fast

Excellent

Good listener. Very concerned in regard to my problem. Good suggestions. Took my comments seriously and definitely felt I was part of my care team. Like Dr. Becker very much as a physician and as a person.
