Early Life and Education

Dr. Erika grew up in a one-room apartment in Bucharest, Romania, an only child who by the age of five dreamed of being a doctor just like her uncle in [[United States|America].

Her family escaped Ceausescu’s Communist stronghold when she was 16, and she arrived in Rome speaking four languages though none of them English.

Erika came to the US after graduating from the Overseas School of Rome and was accepted to NYU on a full academic scholarship. She received her MD from SUNY-Downstate College of Medicine, graduating cum laude, as a member of the prestigious AOA academic honor society.

In her last year of medical school, she was hand picked to be an Intern in Internal Medicine at Kings County Hospital, the second largest county hospital in the US and main affiliate of Downstate College of Medicine, where she completed her training in Internal Medicine and Critical Care.

Career, Patient Advocacy and Bioidentical Hormones

Her first job at the age of 28, Dr. Schwartz was to run a very busy Trauma Center, overseeing hundreds in medical personnel and caring for tens of thousands of patients on a weekly basis. As the Director of Emergency Medicine at Westchester County Medical Center (University Hospital of New York Medical College) in Valhalla, NY, Dr. Schwartz obtained accreditation for WCMC as the only tertiary trauma center between New York City and Albany, New York and established helicopter and ambulance services, ultimately bringing 911 and paramedics to Westchester county.

Dr. Schwartz eventually left the ER for private practice because of her love for people and her desire to provide continuous and total care to her patients.

She built and ran the largest internal medicine practice in Westchester County, practicing in Irvington, NY for 17 years.

A pioneer and teacher, Dr. Erika's fund of knowledge expanded to include expertise in integrative medicine and bioidentical hormone therapies over the years. In the past years she has become a leading expert in wellness, prevention and helping people intergrate all aspects of their lives to chan their paradigm of health.

Dr. Schwartz’s offering to her patients expanded as she integrated different modalities into their treatments. She developed her own protocols for bioidentical hormones, created the hormone friendly diet[1]., compiled her own line of vitamins and supplements, developed individually tailored exercise, stress management and lifestyle regimens and 3 and 6 months life changing programs.

She currently sees patients from all over the US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and even Asia.

She also devotes much of her time helping those who don’t have access to healthcare, by volunteering and giving free educational seminars. DrErika’s ultimate goal is to empower people to take their health into their own hands and become responsible for creating their own wellness.

Over the past 30 years, Dr. Schwartz has personally taken care of more than 100,000 patients, has treated more than 15,000 patients treated various formulations of bioidentical hormones.
