David Kaminetzky, MD

As a hematologist at NYU Langone Hematology Associates, I specialize in managing patients with a wide range of hematologic conditions, both malignant and benign. My expertise includes treating common blood disorders such as anemia, blood clotting issues, and low platelet counts, as well as more complex diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative disease, and immune system-related blood disorders. Additionally, I am an active member of the multiple myeloma and amyloidosis disease management teams, which allows me to stay at the forefront of advances in these areas.

My approach is centered on understanding the unique challenges patients face and working collaboratively to improve their well-being. I believe in the importance of being a supportive presence for those who are physically or emotionally distressed about their health, and I take pride in helping them navigate their treatment journey.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set in performing essential procedures such as administering chemotherapy, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, and lumbar puncture with intrathecal chemotherapy. I am also extensively trained in both allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplants, which are critical components of advanced hematologic care. My commitment to staying current with the latest therapeutic innovations ensures that my patients receive the most effective treatments available.

My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help those in need, and hematology captivated me with its intricate connection to all organ systems. The field’s combination of investigative science and therapeutic innovation presents both intellectual challenges and opportunities for meaningful impact. I am dedicated to applying cutting-edge treatments that not only enhance survival but also improve the quality of life for my patients.
