8. He's also the medical director of Doctor Radio on SiriusXM.

As a listener to Doctor Radio, I used to think he was quite credible, but my opinion of him sagged after a series of programs he hosted on COVID.

There are some very good programs on Doctor Radio, but the programs hosted by Siegel are sometimes questionable. He has never given quack advice, but I have never heard him criticize this administration for incompetence. He has also interviewed and said glowing things about Alex Azar.

He once interviewed Dr. Fauci (and it was a good interview) but then turned around and totally mischaracterized what Fauci had said, painting Fauci as optimistic when he had been anything but.

Doctor Radio is broadcast live from Langone medical center. Siegel is the only doctor I have issues with. He is credentialed and qualified, but he's intellectually dishonest and biased towards Trump.

Dr. Siegel is Doctor Radio’s Medical Director and a Clinical Professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Langone Health. He is a prolific writer and Medical Correspondent and a frequent columnist for various publications including the Los Angeles Times and Forbes Online.
