As Director of the Mary Lea Johnson Richards Organ Transplantation Center at NYU Langone Medical Center, Dr. Lewis Teperman has created an internationally recognized transplant program that has been instrumental in saving the lives of thousands of patients. In 2005, for example, Dr. Teperman was a guest of honor at the wedding of Shari Kurzrok and Robby Schnall. Earlier that year, Ms. Kurzrok received a liver transplant from Dr. Teperman after being diagnosed with Wilson’s disease, a rare genetic condition in which excess copper builds up in the liver.
