Michelle’s professional life

Michelle Lieberman is a physician who is trained in nephrology. Upon completion of her medical degree, she pursued a residency in internal medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Hospital. Residency programs give physicians supervised clinical training so that they can become experts in the diagnosis and management of various medical conditions.

After her residency, she pursued nephrology at the same facility. Nephrology is the study of kidney function, kidney disease, and therapeutic options like dialysis and transplantation.

As a nephrologist, Michelle treats patients with chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, and electrolyte disorders. Nephrologists also consult with other specialist physicians, like cardiologists and endocrinologists, to address the overall health of the patient.

Her connection to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Hospital indicates work in both patient treatment and possible contributions to medical research. As nephrology continues to evolve, trained specialists such as Michelle are required to participate in ongoing education and training to keep abreast of new treatment options and medical technologies.

Even with her husband's highly publicized business presence, Michelle has continued to have a professional career in the medical field, independent of Lubetzky's entrepreneurial and philanthropic efforts.

Michelle’s married life

Michelle Lieberman and Daniel Lubetzky met through mutual friends at a gathering. When Lubetzky mentioned his back pain, Michelle advised a higher ibuprofen dose. He later thanked her, but their interactions remained limited due to her busy schedule.

The Shark Tank investor pursued other relationships during that time but later reconnected with Michelle. Their relationship developed further, and they eventually married. Their wedding ceremonies were conducted in two locations.

As per the New York Times, the civil ceremony took place at Congregation Rodfei Sholom in San Antonio, Texas, officiated by Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg. The religious ceremony was held on Maroma Beach in Mexico, officiated by Rabbi David Rosen.

Since their marriage, Michelle has continued her medical career while Lubetzky has expanded his business ventures and philanthropic efforts. They have four children together, balancing family life with their professional commitments.
