Overview
Sarah Gliksman is a board-certified physician with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and Occupational Medicine, and she brings a patient-centered, evidence-based style to each visit. Her training includes an M.D. from George Washington University School of Medicine, an MPH from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and an M.S. in Nutrition from Columbia University.
She is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and by the American Board of Preventive Medicine in Occupational Medicine. She is licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, and visits are available in English. Patients often describe her as easy to talk with and straightforward. People commonly meet with her for new symptoms, follow-ups for ongoing conditions, preventive health questions, and concerns like musculoskeletal pain or gastrointestinal symptoms. She also supports occupational health needs such as return-to-work questions, disability and workers’ compensation reviews, and utilization review when clinically appropriate. Visits happen by video in a secure, HIPAA-compliant app.
About
Dr. Gliksman’s clinical work draws from internal medicine, public health, and workplace health. That blend can matter when symptoms affect daily function or job demands. In a telehealth setting, she focuses on understanding your full context, including symptom timing, what seems to worsen or improve things, and what evaluation you have already had.
Clear communication is a priority in her visits. You can expect focused questions, careful listening, and a discussion of practical next steps. If your goals include work status questions, she may ask about physical requirements, scheduling, and any safety-sensitive duties. When a concern cannot be handled safely over video, she can help you understand what kind of in-person evaluation may fit best.
Education & Training
Dr. Gliksman earned her medical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine. She also completed graduate training in public health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and holds an M.S. in Nutrition from Columbia University. This combination supports a broad view of health that includes prevention, long-term risk reduction, and real-world barriers that can affect follow-through.
Her board certifications in Internal Medicine and Occupational Medicine reflect experience in general adult care as well as work-related health evaluations. In telehealth, those perspectives often show up in the way she organizes a detailed history and matches next steps to your day-to-day needs.
Care Areas
Dr. Gliksman supports a wide range of adult concerns through telehealth. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, it can help to share your main symptoms, your timeline, and what you want from the visit. If your question is work-related, include what your employer or case manager is asking for.
- Acute illnesses and new symptoms, especially when you need help choosing next steps
- Chronic condition check-ins and general internal medicine concerns
- Preventive health discussions and risk-reduction planning
- Musculoskeletal concerns that affect movement, comfort, or function
- Gastrointestinal symptom review
- Occupational health evaluations, including fitness-for-duty style questions when relevant
- Return-to-work discussions and functional status considerations
- Disability and workers’ compensation-related reviews, when appropriate for telehealth
- Utilization review conversations when clinical documentation is needed
- Prescription refill visits when clinically appropriate
What to Expect in a Telehealth Visit
Telehealth visits are usually structured and goal-driven. Dr. Gliksman typically starts by confirming your top concern and what would make the visit feel successful. She will then ask targeted questions about when symptoms started, how they have changed, and what you have tried so far. She may also ask about relevant medical history, current medications, allergies, and prior diagnoses or procedures that could shape the plan.
When it helps, you may be asked to share home measurements such as temperature, blood pressure, or blood sugar. If a visual exam could add context, you might be asked to show a visible area on camera, such as swelling or a rash. Some issues still require hands-on assessment, and video has limits. Clinicians make all medical decisions during your visit.
If your visit includes occupational health questions, expect more detail about job duties and constraints. This might include lifting requirements, repetitive motions, driving, shift length, or safety-sensitive tasks. Dr. Gliksman may also clarify what documentation exists already and what information is missing, so the plan stays grounded in what can be supported clinically.
Before the visit ends, you should receive a clear recap of the discussion and next steps. If follow-up or additional records would be helpful, she will explain what to gather. If you are discussing a refill, be ready to review the medication name, dose, how long you have taken it, and what monitoring has been done.
How to Prepare
A little preparation can make your appointment smoother and more focused. Consider writing a brief timeline with key dates, any triggers you have noticed, and what you have already done to address the concern. If you have seen another clinician recently, it can help to note where you were seen and what testing or treatment was recommended.
- Choose a quiet, private space with good lighting and reliable internet
- Test your camera and microphone before the session starts
- Bring a complete list of medications, supplements, and allergies
- Have any recent home readings available if you track them
- Gather relevant history, such as diagnoses, surgeries, or recent test results
- If work-related, note your job duties, physical demands, and any restrictions requested
- Have your preferred pharmacy information available in case it becomes relevant
- Write down your top goal and a few questions to cover
If medication is clinically appropriate, prescriptions may be coordinated through partner pharmacies, subject to state regulations.
