Serving the Mount Sinai community since 2004, the staff offer a host of comprehensive services, both in the outpatient and inpatient setting.
As a practitioner, Dr. Alemany listens to his patients, respecting their opinions when making decisions and delivering personalized care. He also serves as an attending rheumatologist in the Division of Arthritis and Rheumatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, where he also teaches medical students and residents.
