Amit Taneja, MD

The majority of my clinic time is spent taking care of patients in the ICU. I strive to provide patients with comprehensive and holistic care rather than piecemeal care aimed at one or another organ system. I spend a lot of time with my patients at their bedside and provide appropriately aggressive care with the hope to reverse the underlying disease process while providing multi-organ supportive care. In addition, I partner with the families in an effort to understand the real person behind that patient and to tailor therapy according to the situation and their loved ones’ previously stated wishes. Every case reminds us that a cookie cutter approach cannot be used for everyone; sometimes no one. In general, we are also very aggressive about starting the rehabilitation process in the ICU with early physical therapy and mobilization to maximize our patients’ chances of successful outcomes and functional independence.
