The role
Your doctor while you're in the hospital
A hospitalist is the physician who oversees your care from the moment you're admitted until you're discharged — coordinating your treatment, your specialists, and your plan so nothing falls through the cracks.
Care coordination
Brings your specialists, nurses, and therapists onto the same page and keeps your primary doctor informed.
Clear communication
Answers questions for you and your family, so decisions are made with a full picture — not guesswork.
A safe discharge
Sets up follow-up appointments, prescriptions, and instructions so recovery continues smoothly at home.
Approach
Medicine that treats the person, not just the chart
Hospital days can feel disorienting. Dr. Noor's focus is on making them less so — slowing down to listen, explaining the reasoning behind each decision, and making sure patients and families never feel like a number.
Trained in family medicine before dedicating her practice to inpatient care, she brings a whole-person perspective to every bedside: the labs matter, and so does the person reading them back home worried about what comes next.
