“My husband saw Dr. Diaz for a follow up visit after his hospital stay. Dr. Diaz provided encouragement (and medical expertise of course) to my husband, listened to the endless questions we had for him and we never felt rushed. He is a wonderful doctor. My husband’s condition is improving and I have confidence he will continue to do so under Dr. Diaz’s care. I would highly recommend him.”

He is also part of the medical leadership team overseeing multiple clinical specialists treating patients in their long-term and short-term recovery from COVID-19 at RUMC’s Post COVID-19 Care Center. A graduate of Ross University School of Medicine and lifelong Staten Island resident, Dr. Diaz completed his residency in Internal Medicine on Staten Island at then-St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center. He then completed additional training in Surgical Critical Care Medicine at Mount Sinai followed by a Pulmonary/Critical Care fellowship at Stony Brook University Medical Center.

In addition to his roles at RUMC, Dr. Diaz is also a medical specialist for the Fire Department of the City of New York, helping firefighters recover from 9/11-related diseases. Dr. Diaz helped to create RUMC’s lung screening program, one of the most advanced in New York City. Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Found in their earliest stages however, 90% of lung cancers are curable. A lung screening involves the use of a low dose Computed Tomography (CT) scan, which produces cross-section images of the lungs. The patient is asked to hold their breath for five to ten seconds during which time the CT scan is able to take an x-ray of the entire chest. This past June, RUMC opened its comprehensive Post COVID-19 Care Center which features a team of multi-disciplinary experts focused on assisting recovering COVID-19 patients with their short-term and long-term healthcare needs.
