Paul A. Levy
<p>Paul Levy, MD, is Director, Center for Inherited Metabolic Disorders and Director, Inherited Metabolic Disease Specialty Care Referral Center at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein. He is also Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Pathology at our Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Levy sees patients with complex medical issues that may have a genetic etiology. He has a special interest in inherited metabolic disorders, including phenylketonuria (PKU), lysosomal storage diseases and urea cycle disorders, and sees newborns referred by the New York State Newborn Screening Program with positive screens.
</p><p>After earning his Doctor of Medicine at Tulane University, Dr. Levy completed his residency in pediatrics at Montefiore Einstein. He then completed a fellowship in ambulatory pediatrics at the same institution. Following this, Dr. Levy completed a fellowship in clinical and biochemical genetics at Tulane University. </p><p>Dr. Levy is involved in a long-term follow-up study for children with disorders diagnosed by newborn screening. He also participates in a study looking into a novel way to look at newborn screening and follow-up testing to determine if some infants with positive newborn screens may have a late-onset disease such as Pompe, Krabbe, and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS I). Dr. Levy is on an advisory panel for Krabbe disease that helps physicians interpret clinical data to help determine infants’ status and help with needed follow-up. He has been principal investigator and co-investigator on clinical trials and funded research projects, and his work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, review articles, book chapters and meeting abstracts. Dr. Levy has also given several nationally invited presentations and has been a journal reviewer for <em>Pediatrics Journal of Pediatrics and Genetics in Medicine</em>. </p><p>Dr. Levy is a Diplomat of the National Board of Medical Examiners and is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Medical Genetics.

<p>Dr. Klugman is a "medical detective" who works to identify the possible genetic risk factors for many inherited diseases. She encourages couples to consider genetic testing even before they get married so they can be as informed as possible when planning their families. Dr. Klugman’s clinical focus is on the evaluation of patients and families at risk for genetic disorders during pregnancy or preconception, including prenatal diagnosis and consultation for patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies. She also provides evaluations for patients at risk for hereditary cancer syndromes.
Dr. Klugman has appeared on ABC World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer and WABC-TV Ch. 7. She has also been profiled and quoted in numerous articles in the Westchester Journal News.</p>
