Dr. Jonathan A. Waitman

Dr. Jonathan A. Waitman, M.D., is a distinguished board certified physician. He has dedicated his career to approaching each of his patients as a whole person, incorporating innovative strategies, a love for the practice of medicine and deep empathy for patients' health and wellness. Dr. Waitman recently served as the Medical Director of Specialized Nutrition Support at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Weill-Cornell Medical Center, and is the Course Director for the Nutrition Curriculum at Weill Cornell Medical College.

At MD², Dr. Waitman works to engage each individual in looking at health in an evidence-based, personalized and holistic fashion, and seeing ways he can collaborate with each person to make them a well-informed partner in their healthcare

A native of New York, Dr. Waitman earned his B.A. in Psychology from Boston University and his M.D. from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he was honored to serve as Chief Medical Resident. Pursuing his passion for nutrition, he completed a fellowship in Clinical Nutrition at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.    

As a young medical trainee, Dr. Waitman was unsettled by the failure of the medical establishment to address obesity as a serious contributor to poor health. While patients’ hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease were addressed by doctors, obesity was often sidelined as a “lifestyle choice.”  Dr. Waitman saw this as a serious mistake, and prior to joining MD², his practice focused on the pharmaceutical treatment of obesity. Much of Dr. Waitman’s success stemmed from his view that obesity could only be addressed properly when seen within the broader context of cardiovascular, endocrine and psychological health.

Dr. Waitman is actively involved in both clinical and academic settings. He is a Clinical Instructor at Weill Cornell Medical College and has received accolades, including the Excellence in Teaching Award. His innovative contributions as Co-Director of the Culinary Medicine Elective reflect his commitment to merging the art of medicine with the science of nutrition.

With numerous co-authored articles on obesity and metabolic health, Dr. Waitman is a recognized voice in his field. He has been featured in prominent media outlets such as The New York Times, CNN, and The Today Show, sharing insights into nutrition's vital role in achieving positive health outcomes.

Dr. Waitman is married and has four daughters. He enjoys cooking for friends and family, traveling, reading, golf, tennis, running and taking his Bernedoodle for long walks.

For Your Consideration

There is a purity to MD2 you will not find elsewhere. At the heart of it, you are 1 of just 50 families who retain the services of a personal physician who knows you as well as their own family. The all-inclusive monthly fee is $2,500 for an individual and family members can be added at an additional cost. We do not bill insurance or Medicare. The MD2 fee ensures absolute, unlimited access to your physician, as well as their physician partner, and covers all care and services provided by the office.

Is there an annual contract for services?

We believe medical care should be based on a deeply meaningful relationship between a physician and a patient that ideally lasts a lifetime – not a contract. The only contract we use reflects our promise to you. It binds us to you, not the other way around. There is no obligation on your part. If for any reason you wish to depart MD2, you can cancel your services at any time without any financial commitment. Your doctor will graciously work with you to establish care with another physician of your choosing.

What services are included?

Simply put, every primary care service is included. There is no additional billing. To help you understand the term “primary care,” think of it as all the care and services required when you “go to your doctor.” But in this case, your doctor is a star internist who graduated at the top of their class and is regarded as the master diagnostician – an art that can be lost today, but never at MD2.

This includes such things as an extensive annual physical, unlimited visits, house and workplace calls, x-rays, routine lab tests and diagnostics indicated by your age, health, and conditioning status. These tests may include blood panels, cardiovascular screening, cancer evaluations, and whatever else your physician believes will promote your healthiest lifestyle. When you leave an MD2 office, you are never handed a bill for our services.

With unlimited time, your MD2 physician will go beyond the customary. They will guide you to appropriate consultants, specialists, and surgical services as needed and often accompany you to those appointments to ensure complete continuity of care. Your care is thorough and extensive yet always custom tailored.

Will my physician manage my care while I am traveling?

MD2 was explicitly designed to accommodate families who travel frequently and often live in a second residence for at least part of the year. Caring for highly mobile families is our specialty. Your physician will always remain your primary contact when you or your family travels; they will be your first call if you have a medical need and are prepared to care for you, regardless of your location. In addition, prepping for travel and planning your care while you are away will be a key element of your care. Should you fall ill or need medical attention while in another city with an MD2 office, your physician will coordinate care for you with their MD2 partner in that city. Lastly, as an MD2 patient, you are enrolled in a worldwide medical evacuation service, should you ever need it.

What if my physician goes on vacation?

We've set up each MD2 practice so that your physician or their partner will always be available to you. You will have direct access to both physicians’ private cell phones, which you can call anytime, day or night. If your physician is unavailable, you will have direct access to their MD2 partner physician. You will never have to go through a front desk, an obscure exchange service or even a nurse to get to your physician or their partner, even if they are on vacation.

What if I need to go to the hospital?

At MD2, you will never be left alone in your time of need. Shockingly, it has become customary today that physicians no longer follow patients during hospitalization. Instead, they leave their patients in the hands of hospitalists. At MD2 we believe this is unacceptable. MD2 physicians visit their patients while in the hospital and orchestrate care with medical specialists in any field. Should you require a hospital stay, your physician will be at your side as your advocate and quarterback.

Furthermore, if specific health services would be best provided at a medical center in another city, your MD2 physician will make all the arrangements for your stay and continue to be involved in overseeing your care.

Can my children join MD2?

As internists, we specialize in the care of adult patients, however, the age at which children transition out of pediatric care varies by individual. It’s a wonderful discussion to have with your MD2 physician. Please know that even when your child is under the care of their pediatrician, we welcome being involved and receiving questions. Multi-generational care is our specialty.
