What to Know
Signature approach
Sacajiu works the 2+ hour preventive-medicine consult inside the Elitra Exam: physical exam, same-day results review, and interpretation across imaging, cardiopulmonary testing, blood work, cancer screening, and genetic data. Her background in internal medicine, public health, and residency-program teaching gives the visit a prevention-at-scale lens applied to one patient's risk profile.
What sets them apart
- Columbia MPH on top of NYU medical training. Public-health training and NYC Department of Health preventive-medicine work are uncommon anchors for an executive-physical physician.
- Published research record. ResearchGate lists 17 peer-reviewed works and 577 citations from her Albert Einstein / Montefiore years.
- Residency-program leadership. She served as Associate Director of Social Medicine and Primary Care Residency programs at AECOM.
Before You Book
- Ask during intake if physician match matters. Sacajiu is part of Elitra's rotating exam physician team; request her public-health and preventive-medicine lens if that fit matters to you.
- Choose concierge care separately. Her Elitra role centers on the single-day executive exam. Longitudinal primary care runs through Elitra's concierge program.
