Jacob Silberstein, MD — Emergency Medicine physician, Sage Urgent Care, Berkeley Heights, NJ

Physician — Emergency Medicine

Dr. Silberstein trained in emergency medicine at North Shore University Hospital — Northwell Health's flagship academic medical center on Long Island — where he developed expertise in the full spectrum of acute care, from minor injuries and infections to more complex presentations that require careful evaluation. Northwell's emergency medicine residency emphasizes evidence-based practice and the kind of careful clinical decision-making that translates directly to urgent care work.

He focuses on the kinds of issues that bring families into urgent care: fractures and sprains, lacerations needing stitches, occupational injuries, and the everyday illnesses that don't wait for a primary care appointment. His goal at every visit is to combine emergency-trained clinical judgment with the time and attention an urgent care setting allows — something that's often missing in fast-paced ER environments.

Conditions & care Dr. Silberstein handles at Sage

Dr. Silberstein's clinical interests span the full range of acute care. Areas he focuses on include:

  • Critical care and resuscitation — emergency-trained judgment for the small number of walk-in patients who turn out to be seriously unwell, and decisive escalation when that is what the presentation calls for.
  • Procedural medicine — laceration repair and wound care, splinting, abscess drainage, and foreign-body removal, done in the room rather than referred onward.
  • Point-of-care ultrasound — a core skill from Dr. Silberstein's emergency medicine training, and part of how he reads a presentation clinically. Sage does not have ultrasound on site: X-ray and labs are in the building, and ultrasound, CT and MRI are referred to a partner imaging center.
  • Sports medicine and orthopedic urgent care — he routinely treats high school and college athletes from Berkeley Heights, Summit, Watchung Hills Regional, and Westfield, including sports physicals and acute injuries.
  • Workers' compensation injuries — same-day evaluation and documentation for job-related injuries.
  • DOT and pre-employment physicals, plus pediatric acute illness and everyday infections.
  • The full spectrum of medicine — the range to move between a routine sore throat, a fracture needing reduction, and a patient who needs an emergency department within the hour, without treating any of them as routine.
