About Dr. Joe Ullman
His education started at Duke University where he received a B.A. in Religion. After 2 years of travel and working in clinical labs, he spent two years getting an MS in Zoology at Rutgers. During that time he worked at the teaching hospital of the University of Medicine and Dentistry, NJ, in New Brunswick and worked in a pediatric genetics lab at Rutgers while he was working toward his degree. In 1980 he was accepted at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC and graduated in 1984. He did an internal medicine internship at Christiana Hospital of the Medical Center of Delaware, followed by 4 years of Diagnostic Radiology residency, which was completed in 1989. He went into clinical practice for 5 years. During this time he actively pursued his non-medical dream of starting Delaware's first brewpub, which was thwarted when one of his business partners suddenly passed away. Married and with a newborn, he returned to academia for an interventional radiology fellowship at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, where he was privileged to work under Dr. Juan Oleaga and Dr. Henrietta Rosenberg. He also worked for several cardiology imaging groups interpreting nuclear cardiology and ultrasound. At the completion of his fellowship, he passed the subspecialty Certificate of Added Qualification exam in Vascular and Interventional Radiology and in August of 1995 began a 10 year stint as a chief Radiologist at a small hospital in Maine. He brought the group from 34,000 studies a year to nearly 70,000, upgraded the equipment, helped start the first Brain Attack team in the state, and increased the interventional volume from 40 cases a year to over 2000. He recertified his Certificate in Vascular and Interventional Radiology in January 1995. During that time, he developed expertise in Dialysis access maintenance, vascular access, and vertebroplasty. He was nominated for Nephrology News and Issues 2002 annual Quality of Life Award for service to the dialysis access community. He did consulting with Stryker, Boston Scientific, the Gerson Lehrman group, and has patented 2 devices. In 2003 he helped found Anodyne Health Partners, LLC, a medical billing and software group. He is currently licensed in 6 states. He's been a certified bone densitometrist. He is a member of the American College of Radiology, The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and a charter member of the Vascular Access Society of the Americas. Dr. Ullman has written a number of articles, edited a chapter in Radiology Administration: Forms, Checklists, and Guidelines (Aspen 2002), and served as an instructor at a Vertebroplasty Training course sponsored by Stryker. He has two sons, and lives in southern Maine. Despite living in New England for 10 years, just one more example of his tenacity and fortitude is that he has remained a rabid New York Yankees fan. His patients and co-workers still respect him. Purchase Getting Down to Business: The New Doctor's Guide , or contact Dr. Ullman to schedule some consulting time. |
