Marissa Ruggiero, MD

Driven by an early fascination with science, I embarked on a journey into the world of medicine. Over time, a profound passion for frontline patient care paved my path to specialize in emergency medicine. In the chaotic yet vital environment of the emergency department, we are often the first point of contact for patients seeking urgent care. I hold the firm belief that we must set a compassionate and reassuring tone for our patients, as they are often at their most vulnerable during these encounters.

In my role as an emergency physician at NYU Langone, I strive to lead with empathy, honesty, and transparency, building trust with every patient interaction. My extensive experience in emergency medicine allows me to treat and coordinate care for patients with an array of conditions, ensuring they receive immediate and comprehensive attention. Our dedicated team in the emergency department takes pride in providing swift and effective care, using cutting-edge technology and the latest medical research to achieve optimal outcomes.

A key aspect of our approach is providing continuous reassurance to our patients throughout their treatment journey, acknowledging the importance of emotional support alongside medical intervention.
