Greg Sherr, M.D., M.P.H.

Dr. Sherr completed his undergraduate and premedical science degrees at Columbia University.  He then attended New York Medical College where he earned a combined MD & MPH in Medical Informatics in 2004.  His internship was completed at the University of Minnesota where he will soon also complete a Surgical Critical Care fellowship during the 2007-2008 academic year.  Clinical areas of interest are Spine & Neuro-trauma and Critical Care.

Dr. Sherr is a member of the AANS, CNS and the Society of Critical Care Medicine.  He is involved in on-going studies with focus on hypertonic saline, hyperbaric oxygen and cerebral metabolism in order to better treat traumatic brain injury. These studies are facilitated by clinical research on intracranial probes which provide ICP monitoring, CSF sampling and brain tissue oxygen measurements.
