Growing up on Long Island, Dr. Schrier graduated from SUNY Upstate Medical University College of Medicine in 2007.

Nephrology is a specialty of medicine that concerns itself with the kidneys: the study of normal kidney function and kidney disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. A nephrologist is a medical doctor who specializes in kidney care and treating diseases of the kidneys. 

Outside of practicing medicine, Dr. Schrier enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, and long walks through the City.
