Nick Nanton is joined today by Dr. Steven Eisenberg, a triple-board-certified physician and author of the new book "Love Is the Strongest Medicine: Notes from a Cancer Doctor on Connection, Creativity, and Compassion", which comes out on May 25th, 2021.
Dr. Eisenberg was the first recipient of the Dr. Emanuel Fliegelman Humanitarian Award, an award for the doctor most exhibiting highly compassionate care during residency. Dr. Eisenberg also co-founded cCARE, California’s largest medical oncology practice. He serves as its Medical Director of Integrative Oncology, as well as its unofficial CEO, or Chief Empathy Officer.
Building on his expertise in health care technology, he joined the faculty of Singularity University’s Exponential Medicine program and was one of the first graduates of FutureMed at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley. He has won numerous hospital awards for his uniquely empathetic bedside manner and commitment to meaningful patient engagement. His practice of writing songs with his patients has earned him the nickname “the singing oncologist” and has helped him become the most followed oncologist on Twitter.
