Biography

Hall received his B.A. in biology in 1983 from Columbia College, Columbia University and his M.D. in 1988 from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. His postdoctoral training included an internship and a junior residency in the department of surgery at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He was Chief Resident in the Department of Urology at Boston Medical Center and completed a fellowship in uro-oncology at Baylor College of Medicine.[1]

From 1997 until 2001 Hall was the director of the Department of Urology at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens. In 2001, he was named director of the Barbara and Maurice Deane Prostate Health and Research Center at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, and in 2003 he was named Chair of Mount Sinai's Department of Urology. In 2009, he was named the Kyung Hyun Kim, M.D. Chair in Urology.

Hall’s area of concentration is primarily urologic oncology including the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of prostate cancer, renal cell cancer and urothelial (transitional cell) cancer affecting the kidneys and bladder, with special focus on the use of robotics and the development of minimally invasive treatment options.[2]
