M. E. Hecht

M.E. Hecht, M.D., is an Orthopedic Surgeon; she writes both fiction and nonfiction. She first entered the business and book world to inform and explain to patients much often unexplained about surgical and medical care, and continues to fulfill this mission today with published books, and articles written for Vogue Magazine, Sunrise River Press, The Wall Street Journal, American Medical News, Medical Tribune, Nations Business and others.

After her medical studies, Dr. Hecht became the Assistant Chief of Orthopedics at Elmhurst Hospital, an affiliate of Mount Sinai School of Medicine; she then established the country’s first group of surgeons devoted solely to rendering second opinions for elective surgery, “The Hecht Group Second Surgical Opinion Institution.”
