Juan C. Mendez, MD

As an internal medicine physician specializing in hospital medicine at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality, individualized care. My role as an observation attending physician at NYU Langone's Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine allows me to provide comprehensive medical care for patients during their short stays. I focus on efficient diagnosis, treatment, and discharge planning, collaborating closely with specialty consultants to ensure a smooth transition to the next level of care.

I specialize in managing a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, leveraging my board certification in internal medicine. With years of experience, I have honed my skills in rapid diagnosis and treatment, ensuring that my patients receive timely and effective care. My commitment to patient education and communication empowers my patients to make informed decisions about their health, fostering a proactive approach to their wellbeing.

I enjoy the challenge of piecing together the puzzle of a patient’s health, gathering and interpreting information from various sources such as imaging studies, laboratory results, and each patient’s unique history. This meticulous approach allows me to accurately diagnose conditions and develop personalized treatment plans, guiding my patients towards recovery and helping them return to their busy lives as quickly as possible.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. As a trilingual physician fluent in Spanish, French, and English, I am deeply committed to providing culturally sensitive care. By speaking my patients’ languages and understanding their cultural nuances, I strive to create a comfortable and trusting environment where they feel empowered to share their concerns and actively participate in their healthcare decisions.
