Netflix’s latest docuseries, Lenox Hill, is being heralded as the real life answer to Grey’s Anatomy.
The series takes a fly on the wall look at the working lives of four doctors at the Upper East Side’s Lenox Hill Hospital: Dr. David Langer, Dr. John Boockvar, Dr. Mirtha Macri and Dr. Amanda Little-Richardson.
This team of four core MDs is comprised of two brain surgeons, an emergency room physician, and a Chief Resident OB-GYN. As we follow them through their day-to-day work life, we are given an all-access look at how a busy New York hospital functions.
David Langer is the Chief of Neurosurgery at Lenox Hill and has an impressive track record working in the medical field. We’ve done some digging to find out more about Dr. Langer’s background. Here’s everything you need to know!
