Dr. Cosmin Dascalu graduated in 2006 from Carol Davila University, recognized as one of the finest medical schools in Romania. After graduating from medical school, he trained in Allergy and Immunology. To further enhance his knowledge and clinical skills, he pursued medical training in the United States and was accepted into the Mount Sinai School of Medicine/Queens Hospital Center Internal Medicine residency program in 2008. A significant interest in rheumatology emerged while working as a medical student at Colentina Hospital, a large rheumatology center in Bucharest. During his residency, he pursued research on the side effect profile of newer drugs available for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and had the opportunity to care for numerous inpatient and outpatients with rheumatic diseases. Dr. Dascalu continued with a rheumatology fellowship from 2011-2013 at North Shore/LIJ Medical Center, N.Y. one of the leading training and research sites in the Queens and Long Island Area. He now joins our practice with a strong desire to provide excellent care for patients with arthritis, connective tissue diseases and skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis.
