Clarity Surgical is proud to announce their newest hire: Dr. Owen Pyke, MD!

Long Island, NY - USA, September 25, 2020 -- Clarity Surgical is proud to announce their newest hire: Dr. Owen Pyke, MD! He joined the Clarity Surgical team on September 8th and will be taking on the role of general and weight loss surgeon.

Dr. Owen Pyke originally hails from the island nation of Jamaica. His family immigrated to the US when he was young, settling in Queens and later Long Island. He graduated from Amherst College with a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience. From there, he did his graduate studies at Stony Brook University. He completed a masters in public health and a joint MD/MBA program.

After medical school, he decided to pursue a career as a surgeon. He did his residency at Stony Brook Medical Center and later did a fellowship in Bariatric, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery at NYU Winthrop Hospital, under the tutelage of Drs Colin Brathwaite and Jun Levine.

“We’re honored to have Dr. Pyke join our team. His experience speaks for itself and we’re excited to have him on board,” says Jessica Reyes, Clarity Surgical’s director of operations. “As our clientele grows, we need more surgeons to help serve our communities effectively. Dr. Pyke is a skilled surgeon and, more importantly, a great human being. We can’t be any more proud to welcome him to the team.”

His experience goes beyond surgery. Dr. Pyke spent seven weeks in Ghana doing a clinical rotation during medical school. Later on, during his residency, Dr. Pyke attended a conference in Ghana, serving as the co-chair of sessions between doctors from both the United States and Ghana. These sessions allowed for greater communication between physicians from both countries to help highlight potential areas of collaboration between the two countries. “Dr. Pyke’s commitment to service and to the welfare of his community is a true attribute,” says Dr. Charles Thompson III, founder and chief surgeon at Clarity Surgical.

Dr. Pyke’s understanding that weight loss surgery can help put comorbidities into remission, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea, made it a good choice for him. He saw that weight loss surgery, especially in patients with serious comorbidities, has the potential to lower all cause mortality for them.

Dr. Pyke’s rigorous training in general surgery at Stony Brook University Medical Center has equipped him well to compassionately care for patients. During his time at Stony Brook, Dr. Pyke’s areas of research interest broadened to include health literacy, surgical education, global surgery, and obesity surgery, particularly in the management of anastomotic ulcers.

We, at Clarity Surgical, are proud to welcome Dr. Owen Pyke to our team of surgeons!

Mathematics, statistics and probability can be difficult concepts for children to grasp, even in normal teaching settings. With distance and “virtual” learning the norm for many this fall, the challenge of understanding these and other academic disciplines may be even greater. Strat-O-Matic (www.strat-o-matic.com), the leader in sports simulation games, has helped launch “Strat School,” a FREE platform which will help kids, especially budding sports fans, learn basics and even more advanced math, writing and more through its new series of lesson plans aimed at kids ages 6- 9 and ages 10 and up.

Strat-O-Matic offers detailed lesson plans for teachers and parents interested in using the game as a teaching device. For kids ages 6-9, Strat-O-Matic Baseball Express helps children learn about making decisions using probability, computing statistics like batting average and ERA, and developing writing skills with simple game recaps, among others. For ages 10 and up, Strat-O-Matic Baseball takes it to the next level, with higher math and statistics, emphasis on the quick computation that comes with each dice roll and ways to encourage students to learn more about the players from sets like the Hall of Famers, and even about the civil rights movement through Strat’s Negro League Stars.

The skills that kids can learn while playing Strat-O-Matic board games come naturally. How often is this particular batter likely to get a hit or home run? Which relief pitcher would be most effective against the upcoming batter? How is ERA calculated? What are the key moments of the game to include in a written recap? What more can students learn about particular historically significant players? In the fun environment of playing Strat-O-Matic baseball, all of these educational benefits are possible.

“Playing Strat-O-Matic has always been a great way for kids to enhance important skills almost unconsciously,” said Hal Richman, Strat-O-Matic President. “By following our comprehensive plans, teachers and parents can help them stay engaged as they learn not just the math and statistics that are inherent to game play, but lessons like writing and history that are natural extensions of enjoying the game.” 

Those interested in learning more about how Strat-O-Matic can be a valuable teaching tool can contact Strat-O-Matic at This email address is being protected from spambots.

A series of short videos highlighting some of these benefits are available on the Strat-O-Matic YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/StratOMaticMarketing. 

About Strat-O-Matic

Strat-O-Matic was invented by 11-year-old Hal Richman in his bedroom in Great Neck, N.Y. in 1948 as a result of his frustration with the statistical randomness of other baseball board games. He discovered that the statistical predictability of dice would give his game the realism he craved. Over the next decade, he perfected the game at summer camp and then as a student at Bucknell University. After producing All-Star sets in 1961 and ‘62, he parlayed a $5,000 loan from his father (and made a deal that if it didn’t work out he would work for his father’s insurance company) into the original 1962 Strat-O-Matic Baseball season game. Needless to say, Hal never had to take a job with his father.

Strat-O-Matic, based in Glen Head, NY and on the Internet at www.strat-o-matic.com, manufactures the top selling sports board games and realism/stats sports digital games. The Company publishes baseball, football, basketball and hockey games to play both on and off your computer and mobile screens. “Strat-O” games are known throughout the sports community for their statistical realism and accuracy. The Company has the world’s greatest sports game stat libraries with top-of-the-line seasons dating back to the early 1900’s. At the start of the 2016 MLB season, Strat-O-Matic introduced Baseball Daily, its first product featuring digital player cards that update every day to reflect real life current player performance as the season progresses.

The Company has a loyal celebrity following including a bevy of sports broadcasters such as Bob Costas, Jon Miller and Dan Shulman, former MLB’ers Keith Hernandez, Doug Glanville and Cal Ripken Jr., and sports super fans including Drew Carey, Ben Bernanke, Bryant Gumbel, Spike Lee and Tim Robbins.
