Sandra Dempsey, MD, has joined the Department of Endocrinology.
Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in internal medicine and endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, she earned her medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia, Athens, Georgia; and completed residency and a fellowship at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
“The well-coordinated complexity of the body’s endocrine system with its potential hormonal disruptions and normal changes throughout the lifespan fascinate me,” Dr. Dempsey said.
“Over the past 30 years of clinical practice, I have come to appreciate the need for individualized care of each patient. We all have unique physiology and genetics, goals and preferences.”
Bejoy John, MD, psychiatrist, has rejoined the Behavioral Center team.
Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Dr. John earned his medical degree in India, completed an internship and residency at MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio; and a fellowship at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.
“Psychiatric illnesses are biological disorders, just as other countless medical illnesses including diabetes and hypertension, and they need treatment,” Dr. John said. “I provide scientific, evidence-based treatment, educating my patients about their problems and learning from them in the process.”
Dr. Roman Fridline has joined the Emergency Center.
Board certified in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Fridline is a graduate of Central Michigan College of Medicine, completed a preliminary surgery residency at William Beaumont Health System in Royal Oaks, Michigan, and an emergency medicine residency at Sparrow Hospital/Michigan State University.
Dr. Fridline considered engineering as a career. But instead of applying scientific principles to design and build systems and structures to solve problems, he dedicated his life to medicine, choosing emergency medicine as his specialty because of its fast pace and intense focus on the patient.
“Engineering didn’t allow enough human interaction for me. It is something I really like to have.”
