Vicki M. Porges, MD

Because I’m a fourth-generation doctor, the practice of medicine feels like a family tradition. Although the first three generations on my father’s side were in surgical specialties, I followed my mother into pediatrics. I enjoy providing compassionate and comprehensive care to patients from newborns to those 18 years of age.

I strongly believe that preventive care, coupled with swift and accurate assessments and diagnoses, will result in the best possible overall healthcare for children. My family legacy of medical excellence and my own commitment to the wellbeing of patients underscore my dedication to and love for the practice of medicine.

My association with NYU Langone began when I obtained my medical degree from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and completed my pediatric residency at NYU Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. I founded and then ran Downtown Pediatrics for 17 years, and I am proud of the practice I built: it provided comprehensive care for the Tribeca community while maintaining admitting privileges at NYU Langone.

I am thrilled to now be part of NYU Langone Medical Associates—Washington Square, which allows me to continue to deliver patient-focused, specialized care and to provide my patients with access to the expanded range of services and facilities at NYU Langone. I look forward to continuing to develop deeper relationships with the community and to offer the same personal care and deep relationships with my patients that has defined how I practice medicine.
