AI in Medicine: Insights from Top Doctors 2024
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many fields, including medicine. We asked some of the “Top Doctors 2024” how AI is being used in their specialties:
Orthopedic Surgery
Diana Silas, D.O., Top Doctor in Orthopedic Surgery, Ascension Michigan. Alt text: Dr. Diana Silas, a top orthopedic surgeon from Ascension Michigan, discusses the use of AI in orthopedic surgery for Top Doctors 2024 list.
“AI offers the potential to transform orthopedic care. It can improve diagnostics, treatment planning, and surgical outcomes. For instance, I can utilize a patient’s CT scan in conjunction with AI to accurately verify the amount of bone to be removed during a hip preservation procedure. Another application includes determining the size and location of shoulder replacement implants — specific to each patient. We apply evidence-based research to find the best fit for every individual. It’s also exciting how educated my patients are when they present for an appointment. … AI has enabled patients to type complex questions into a search engine and obtain a research-backed response.”— Diana R. Silas, D.O., Ascension Michigan
Oncology
Elisabeth Heath, M.D., Top Doctor in Oncology, Detroit Medical Center, Karmanos Cancer Institute, McLaren Health Care. Alt text: Dr. Elisabeth Heath, a leading oncologist recognized as a Top Doctor 2024 from Detroit Medical Center, Karmanos Cancer Institute, and McLaren Health Care, shares her insights on AI in oncology.
“It is now integrated into diagnostic testing and treatment pathways in GU [genitourinary] oncology. For instance, AI can assist in determining treatment decisions for prostate cancer by analyzing complex datasets. The primary benefit is that it enhances efficiency and accuracy in patient care. However, a significant challenge is the necessity for proper utilization; like any tool, incorrect use can lead to adverse outcomes.”— Elisabeth Heath, M.D., Detroit Medical Center, Karmanos Cancer Institute, McLaren Health Care
Cardiac Surgery
Kyle G. Miletic, M.D., Top Doctor in Cardiac Surgery, Henry Ford Health. Alt text: Dr. Kyle G. Miletic, a Top Doctor 2024 in Cardiac Surgery from Henry Ford Health, explains the future role of AI in cardiac surgery decision-making.
“Do not worry — an AI-powered robot is not about to do your heart surgery anytime soon! I am very excited about the future of AI to help the patient and surgeon make informed decisions about the best path forward. One of the most difficult parts of my job is to figure out who would benefit from an operation and when the best time is to offer surgery. I envision a (near) future where AI will be able to look at a patient’s whole medical history and in real time compare it with the data of a large population as well as thousands of clinical trials that have already been performed. Then, we can take that information and determine if surgery or a nonsurgical approach will yield the best outcomes in the long term for the patient.”— Kyle G. Miletic, M.D., Henry Ford Health
Colon and Rectal Surgery
Robert K. Cleary, M.D., Top Doctor in Colon and Rectal Surgery, Trinity Health Michigan. Alt text: Dr. Robert K. Cleary, a Top Doctor 2024 specializing in Colon and Rectal Surgery at Trinity Health Michigan, discusses the emerging applications of AI in his surgical field.
“Though still in its infancy, AI is a promising new tool in colorectal surgery. By analyzing CT scans, MRIs, and colonoscopies, AI might one day help doctors better understand a patient’s condition. This technology could lead to more-personalized treatment plans and improved decision-making about potential surgical risks and outcomes. Additionally, AI has the potential to enhance the capabilities of the robotic surgery systems we use in the operating room. Finally, by helping us optimize recovery plans, AI might one day contribute to better patient outcomes, building on our experience with enhanced recovery pathways.”— Robert K. Cleary, M.D., Trinity Health Michigan
Bariatric Surgery
Amy Somerset, M.D., Top Doctor in Bariatric Surgery, Detroit Medical Center. Alt text: Dr. Amy Somerset, a Top Doctor 2024 in Bariatric Surgery from Detroit Medical Center, explains how AI is being used to enhance precision and outcomes in bariatric surgery.
“AI is increasingly being integrated into bariatric and general surgery to improve outcomes, enhance precision, and streamline processes. AI algorithms analyze patient data to predict surgical outcomes, identify risks, and tailor pre-op plans. For bariatric surgery patients, we can predict weight loss outcomes and their individual surgical risk based on their specific characteristics. For robotic surgery, AI-driven systems assist by providing enhanced visualization, precision, and control. This technology can help with suturing, tissue manipulation, and navigation, leading to reduced complication rates and improved efficiency for surgeons. The newer robotic-systems AI technology provides objective indicators based on how the surgeon operates and can provide suggestions based on movements, energy use, and timing. Basically, it can tell the surgeon what they are doing well and how they can improve. AI technology also analyzes large datasets to identify trends, outcomes, and best practices in bariatric surgery, which helps in advancing research, developing new techniques, and improving overall patient care. We are always trying to improve the care we provide, and AI is helping us do so.”— Amy Somerset, M.D., Detroit Medical Center

What are your thoughts on TikTok in medicine?
TikTok and similar social media platforms have become a significant source of information for many patients. When used responsibly, they can be valuable tools for sharing important health information, such as cancer screening guidelines. However, like AI, misinformation is a concern, necessitating caution. These platforms can spark important conversations between patients and doctors, but it’s vital for medical professionals on TikTok to present information clearly, accurately, and engagingly to capture and maintain audience interest.
What lifestyle advice do you offer patients for a longer, healthier life?
I emphasize the importance of a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and sufficient sleep. Managing stress and adhering to recommended health screenings are also crucial. Furthermore, avoiding smoking and moderating alcohol intake are key to improving overall health and longevity.

Michael Cools, M.D. — Pediatric Neurosurgery
Ascension MichiganChildren’s Hospital of MichiganDetroit Medical Center
What safety advice do you give parents for their children?
Trauma and accidents are the leading causes of death and disability in children. At Children’s Hospital of Michigan, we prioritize injury prevention. This includes emphasizing helmet use for bikes and scooters, secure firearm storage with ammunition locked separately, and constant supervision around water. We also stress the importance of proper car seat use and vehicle restraints.
For children needing surgery, our goal is a swift return to activity. We recognize the importance of sports and exercise for lifelong health. Once recovered from surgery, we encourage a gradual return to physical activities as healing allows.
What innovations in pediatric neurosurgery are you excited about?
Pediatric neurosurgery is constantly evolving. We strive to use less-invasive procedures, investing in advanced technology and equipment. At Children’s Hospital of Michigan, examples include laser therapy for focal seizures, reducing the need for major surgery, and using flexible endoscopes for hydrocephalus treatment, minimizing the need for repeat surgeries.

What advice do you give patients for a longer, healthier life?
Regular physical activity, including both cardiovascular exercise and strength training, is essential. Aiming for daily movement is a great starting point! In orthopedics, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options to help patients stay active and pain-free.
Key practices for a healthier life include: maintaining a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet; prioritizing consistent, quality sleep; staying hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water daily; avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol; regular health checkups and preventive care; cultivating strong social connections and a supportive community; and maintaining a positive outlook and mental resilience. Combining these habits can significantly improve both the length and quality of life.

What advice do you give patients for a longer, healthier life?
My practice focuses heavily on obesity medicine and nutrition. Obesity is linked to many cancers, diabetes, joint pain, high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, and reduced lifespan. While there are surgical and non-surgical treatments for overweight and obesity, proper nutrition is vital for all treatment plans. For all patients, nutrition is key to maintaining a healthy weight and energy levels. The saying “You are what you eat” is very true. Nutrition impacts mental well-being, and can reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, and many other health issues. Nutrition is truly the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. For all patients, we recommend reducing high-glycemic index foods, processed foods, and foods high in fat or sugar. Reducing alcohol and liquid calories is also important. For most patients, a diet high in protein and fiber is beneficial. Your body needs the right fuel to function optimally.
How important is sleep, and how does insufficient sleep affect health?
Sleep is crucial for our bodies to recharge and for our brains to remove waste. Sleep supports immune function, mental health, and metabolic regulation. In obesity medicine, sleep deprivation can lead to increased hunger, difficulty losing weight, or weight gain. Poor sleep can lead to poor lifestyle choices like lack of exercise and unhealthy eating. As a bariatric surgeon treating many patients with prediabetes or diabetes, I emphasize sleep’s role in glycemic control. Many of my patients also have sleep apnea, further disrupting sleep. It’s essential to test patients for sleep disorders like sleep apnea or insomnia and treat them appropriately to improve sleep. Good sleep means sleeping long enough and deeply enough. For all patients, regardless of age or size, we emphasize good sleep hygiene to optimize physical and mental health. We all know that sleep deprivation can cause irritability, anxiety, impaired learning, and a general feeling of unwellness. Good sleep hygiene involves sleeping in a cool, dark room; maintaining a consistent bedtime; avoiding alcohol and smoking; avoiding caffeine after morning hours; avoiding eating close to bedtime; minimizing noise; avoiding long daytime naps and screen time from TVs, laptops, phones, and even checking the clock at night. Exercising 4-6 hours before bedtime is most beneficial for good sleep.

How important is sleep for your patients’ recovery?
Sleep is critical for overall health and post-surgical recovery for my patients. For at least a month after surgery, sleep needs are increased. Insufficient sleep can negatively impact mental health and recovery, delaying a patient’s return to their normal activities.
What innovations in your field excite you?
Colon and rectal surgery is a constantly evolving field with exciting new treatment approaches, particularly in robotic surgery, enhanced recovery protocols, and rectal cancer management. Due to advances in radiation and chemotherapy and our surgeon-led watch-and-wait program, 50% of our rectal cancer patients no longer need rectal resection and colostomy.
What advice do you give patients for a longer, healthier life?
It’s well-known but worth reinforcing daily: a proper diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking are crucial for longevity, as cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death. Cancer screening is also essential. Following recommended guidelines for colonoscopy screening starting at the appropriate age prevents colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, I still see colorectal cancer patients who have never had a screening colonoscopy. Be proactive about your health for yourself and your loved ones.

How important is sleep for patient health?
Sleep is vital for health for many reasons. Adequate sleep reduces stress and improves mood. It helps regulate appetite by increasing leptin, a natural appetite suppressant. Sleep is also when the body repairs itself, strengthens the immune system, and builds new brain pathways. All of these factors improve overall performance and well-being.
What advice do you give patients for a longer, healthier life?
In my 11 years as a cardiologist, I’ve observed that patients who live longest are those who stay active both physically and mentally. I advise patients to reduce stress, walk regularly, spend time with loved ones, and engage in mentally stimulating activities like reading or puzzles. These activities are also recommended to reduce the risk of dementia.

What are the exciting advancements in pediatric cardiac surgery?
Congenital heart surgery is constantly evolving, although the fundamental principles of caring for children with congenital heart disease remain constant. Current advancements in mechanical support devices for failing hearts or physiology have revolutionized our ability to rescue children with complex congenital heart disease. Similarly, advancements in transcatheter treatments are changing our approach to managing congenital heart disease in our youngest patients. These paradigm shifts are helping us improve the care we provide to children and families affected by congenital heart disease.
