Peter Einersen is a laparoscopic and robotic surgeon in New York City. His initial education and training led him to the field of finance, where he enjoyed a successful, 8-year career as a derivatives trader until a family illness served as a personal “calling” to medicine. He successfully navigated this unorthodox career change, getting his MD from Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons in 2013 and continuing on to the highly competitive general surgery residency at The University of Colorado - Denver. There, he also completed a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship investigating trauma-induced-coagulopathy (TIC) on an NIH T32 training grant. He returned home to complete a fellowship in Advanced GI, Laparoscopic and Bariatric Surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in 2020-21.
His special expertise in robotics and laparoscopy includes: bariatric (weight loss) surgery, hernia surgery, foregut (stomach and esophagus) surgery, and small bowel and colon surgery.
When not caring for patients, Dr. Einersen can be found with his wife and daughter. He is an avid skier and a passionate, though amateur, musician. He is currently accepting all insurance plans.
