His international experience include tropical medicine in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Chinese medicine in Guangxi, China; and family medicine/natural healing at the Zuni Indian Reservation in New Mexico. He has also worked extensively with diverse cultural communities of New York City, including the Japanese and Chinese communities (Dr. Degenhardt is fluent in both Japanese and Mandarin), and the under-served Manhattan’s Lower East-side and Chinatown population.
Dr. Degenhardt is a member of the teaching faculty at NYU School of Medicine and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He is also an attending physician at NYU Langone Medical Center, Beth Israel Medical Center and Bellevue Medical Center.
Dr. Degenhardt’s interest in sports medicine stems from his former competitive swimming career in which he was All-American (semi-finalist) at the NCAA Division III men’s swimming national championships.
