Ask a Patient Education Librarian

At NYU Langone, we understand how important it is for people to have accurate, high-quality health information about medical conditions, medications, and procedures. Our patient education librarians can provide you with reliable information to help you start conversations with doctors and loved ones about your medical concerns.

Our patient education librarians answer questions from current and former NYU Langone patients, family members, and caregivers as well as potential patients. Though we can’t answer specific questions about your medical condition or symptoms, we can help you learn more about NYU Langone doctors and their areas of specialty.

To ask a health-related question, please use our online form or call us at 646-754-5444. We will respond to your request within four business days.
