Couple Jonah Zeitlin, DO, and Samantha Gerstman, MD, each took unique, yet intersecting journeys. Their stories, as told on my D.O. or Do Not podcast, highlight the challenges, decisions and personal reflections that shape the path to becoming a physician. They both grew up in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and went to school at Binghamton University in New York. They met and began their relationship as study partners, then a blossoming romance lead to their inseparability.
