Magdalena Cadet, M.D., Director, Rheumatology

Magdalena Cadet, M.D., provides physicians and patients with cutting edge Rheumatology and Osteoarthritis services through the New York Hospital Queens Department of Medicine and in collaboration with the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation.

Board certified in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine, Dr. Cadet received her medical degree from Drexel University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. After her internship at NYHQ, she went on to complete an Internal Medicine residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and then a fellowship in Rheumatology at New York University/Hospital for Joint Diseases.  In addition to her current position as attending physician and Director, Rheumatology at NYHQ, she is a Clinical Instructor of Medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University.

Dr. Cadet’s research interests have focused on osteoporosis, preventative care and health disparities in rheumatic diseases, investigating gene expression profiles in psoriatic arthritis and developing a psoriatic arthritis registry. She is currently a reviewer for the rheumatology journal, Arthritis Care and Research.

Among the disorders that are treated by Dr. Cadet are osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency; back pain; osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; lupus; ankylosing spondylitis and gout.

Dr. Cadet has spearheaded an injection clinic for patients with knee osteoarthritis, and an infusion center for administering intravenous therapy for osteoporosis management. Now, we are implementing a Model of Care for Osteoporosis prevention and treatment to address fracture prevention and follow up care after hospitalization for hip, vertebral, and non-vertebral fractures.  A multidisciplinary team educates patients about risk factors for low bone density and treatment options to prevent fractures.

Dr. Cadet maintains office hours that make it convenient for patients to be seen at the hospital, in the Center for Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation Medicine in Fresh Meadows, and in several other New York Hospital Queens ambulatory sites. If you would like to offer your patients the opportunity to be a part of the NYHQ Osteoporosis “Improving Bone Health Initiative”, or would like to discuss how we can better serve your practice and patients, please contact Dr. Cadet at 718-661-7105 or mac9263@nyp.org.
