About Our Speaker: Danielle Ofri, M.D.
Dr. Danielle Ofri is one of the foremost speakers about the doctor-patient relationship and bringing humanity back to health care. At a time when frustration is at an all-time high for doctors, nurses, patients, and their families, Danielle’s unique voice and extraordinary perceptiveness help unravel the complex layers of modern medicine. Praised as “a born story-teller and a born physician” by Oliver Sacks, Danielle is renown for her inspiring and engaging talks. She avoids PowerPoint, instead weaving in captivating stories alongside the latest medical trends, unafraid to reach counter-intuitive solutions.
Danielle writes regularly for the New York Times about medicine and the critical connection between doctor and patient. Her newest book, What Patients Say; What Doctors Hear, explores how refocusing the conversations between doctors and patients can lead to improved health outcomes. In her critically acclaimed book, What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine Danielle upends stereotypes in the medical world and explores the hidden emotional world of the doctor and its impact on patient care. As a practicing internist at Bellevue Hospital — the nation’s oldest public hospital and perhaps its most legendary — Danielle speaks with the authenticity of a physician directly engaged in the front lines of medical care. On a daily basis she confronts the major medical issues of our time without losing focus on the individual patient.
In her books and articles, Danielle Ofri has developed a signature style that combines compelling narrative with thoughtful reflection and focused reporting. She uses stories to uncover the mysteries of human life and human nature, to explore the joys and problems of modern medical practice, and to ask questions about society’s priorities.
A popular and engaging speaker, Danielle can unpack complex issues for community audiences, as well as inspire medical professionals, students, administrators, and educators.
