He currently serves as Vice-Chairman of Family Medicine at NSUH Manhasset, President of the North Shore Physicians Organization, as well as a member of The Medical Board at NSUH-Manhasset, having previously served as President of the 3,000 doctor Medical Staff Society and President of the North Shore University Hospital Medical Staff IPA.

Dr. Edelstein has been named one of the “Best Doctors in New York” by New York Magazine, one of the “Outstanding Physicians” in the United States by Town and Country Magazine and one of the top 55 Family Physicians in the United States by the Ladies’ Home Journal. Dr. Edelstein enjoys rollerblading on the streets of Great Neck and spending time with his wife Judy, their four sons and grandchildren. Oh, and by the way, he is great with the kids in the hospital, and is often seen handing out teddies to brighten their stay. Thank you Dr. Edelstein for your untiring effort on behalf of Hugs and our mission to comfort children in crisis.

We all had a great time, for a great cause. Remember, every $5 goes to a new teddy or to shipping it to the first response unit that is on the front lines of a crisis.   We partied until we dropped and little Nicholas was able to keep those cookies in his hands even as he fell asleep.
