About Me

Dr. Herbert S. Lempel has practiced Internal Medicine for over 30 years. After completing his undergraduate studies at Yeshiva University, Dr. Lempel graduated from New York Medical College with his doctorate degree. He then went on to Booth Memorial Medical Center for both his internship and residency in Internal Medicine.

Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
