Joel Herskowitz, MD

Joel Herskowitz returns to Boston Medical Center with a sense that “everything old is new again.” Trained in Pediatrics and Child Neurology at Boston City Hospital in the ‘70s, Dr. Herskowitz spent nearly two decades at New England Medical Center’s Division of Pediatric Neurology before returning “home”. Living at the interface between pediatrics, neurology, and psychiatry, he has found learning and attentional problems to be his clinical niche. Dr. Herskowitz has authored or co-authored several books including Pediatrics, Neurology and Psychiatry - Common Ground: Behavioral, Cognitive, Affective and Physical Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence, written in collaboration with N. Paul Rosman, and a book on Childhood Depression.

“Each member of the Division has an area of special expertise,” he said. “But I feel a tremendous spirit of teamwork and cooperation not just among medical and nursing personnel but among the office support staff as well.” Dr. Herskowitz added “It is a privilege to receive referrals from the many excellent pediatricians who practice in the Greater Boston area. I believe we do an excellent job in meeting the needs of their patients and their families and earning their continued support.” His practice at Boston Medical Center includes satellite sessions in Framingham and Milford Massachusetts.
