My father was a high school biology and math teacher and my mother was a nurse. I knew from an early age that education and the value of lifelong learning was essential in life. Even when finances were tough due to pay freezes, taxes, and commuter costs my parents made sure I could get the best education possible.

As a result, I was valedictorian of my graduating class at Nyack High School and had the chance to pursue medicine as a career. I spent my undergraduate years at Colgate University for my pre-med program as a biology major before moving on to the State University of New York at Buffalo for medical school. Upon graduation I became David M. Kenton M.D. I spent my internship and residency at the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital from July 1979 to June 1982. My cardiology fellowship was at Georgetown University from July 1982 to June 1984 and shortly thereafter I went into private practice.

I’m proud to share my passion for learning with others.

I’m passionate about giving my patients the most up to date and advanced care that I can provide. I am always looking into the latest research and tools to do just that. Some of my professional interests include preventative care in cardiology, regenerative medicine involving stem cell research and therapy, exosomes and anti-aging.

Preventive medicine promotes the overall well-being of the patient and attempts to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the body before disease and injury occur. While preventing everything isn’t possible as of yet, preventative medicine and genetic testing can help you remain healthier for longer periods of time.

Stem cell research as well as exosome therapy are big parts of regenerative medicine, which can replace diseased cells with healthy new ones. Many people can benefit from regenerative medicine for health and cosmetic reasons. Regenerative medicine research benefits a wide range of people and conditions, including but not limited to:

• Severe injuries, especially of the spinal cord. Type 1 diabetics.
• Alzheimer’s Disease.
• Heart disease and stroke.
• Cancer. Osteoarthritis. Parkinson’s Disease Burn injuries.

Regenerative medicine overall can help restore damaged or diseased organs or body parts, giving a new chance for your body to thrive. Stem cell research can also introduce new and effective treatments by testing new drugs to ensure they are safe and work well for the patient.

In my new practice I will be performing a number of specialized cardiology and preventative procedures:

• Noninvasive cardiology.
• Preventative medicine.
• Diagnostic testing.
• Echocardiogram (Echo).
• Carotid, aortic, thyroid, renal, and other ultrasounds.
• Peripheral vascular testing involving venous and arterial studies.

With the number of noninvasive tools currently available, it’s more possible than ever to diagnose a multitude of organ abnormalities without needles or other internal tools.

Tests like echocardiograms and other ultrasounds can give a better picture of what may be causing issues with organs such as the heart, other major arteries, the great vessels and other organs.

I am also looking forward to introducing outpatient sleep studies to diagnose sleep abnormalities from the comfort of your home. Remote patient monitoring and balance testing is also something I will offer as comfortable, simple procedures without the anxiety of being poked and prodded unnecessarily.
