About Robert
Dr. Neuwirth loves a challenge, and that’s why he chose nephrology as a specialty. Nephrologists specialize in kidney care, including the management of dialysis patients, and evaluation and treatment of complexhypertension and diabetes.
“When deciding on a specialty I wanted one that was highly complex, and nephrology is about as complex as it gets,” states Neuwirth.
Dr. Neuwirth grew up in New York City and completed his medical training in the Dominican Republic and his residency in the Bronx. He ran a large nephrology practice in Florida for several years, before coming to Gillette. He joined Campbell County Health in 2008.
For enjoyment, Dr. Neuwirth and his wife, Mildred, like to travel. He pilots his own small plane and they frequently take trips for pleasure and to visit their four grown children.
The CCH hospitalist program was created in 2008 to provide patients with immediate, round-the-clock access to a healthcare provider who works exclusively in the hospital. Instead of specializing in caring for a specific disease such as a cardiologist or oncologist does, a hospitalist is trained to take care of you during your entire hospital stay. Hospitalists work closely with other key people in the hospital, such as nurses, pharmacists, discharge planners and clergy.
How does the hospitalist know about me?
The hospitalist uses the medical record to review your medical history. They can also communicate with your primary care physician or clinic to request any information they feel is important in taking care of you while in the hospital.
What happens if I need a specialist?
Because hospitalists are available 24/7 and they know every specialist and department in the hospital, they will be sure to get you the specialized care you need.
What happens after I am discharged?
Patients return to their established primary care provider for follow-up care. If you do not have a primary care provider, we can help you find one.
