“Dr. Jacob Mirsky’s approach to Lifestyle Medicine is truly refreshing … and is exactly what is needed in the field of Medicine. After awarding him a competitive “iSolve Award” from the MGH Springboard Studio, I’ve had the pleasure of sitting in on some of his virtual group visits. The impact they had on patients with high blood pressure (which has been well documented) and anxiety/depression was impressive. Not only is the format productive, but Dr. Mirsky’s skill in assessing and meeting people where they are is welcoming and motivating.”
