Michael H. Karass, MD

As an attending physician at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. I specialize in pulmonary embolism care. My role spans the pulmonary service, intensive care unit, and step-down unit, where I focus on delivering high-quality care tailored to each patient's unique needs.

In addition to caring for patients, my involvement as a co-investigator on PE-TRACT, a National Institutes of Health-funded pulmonary embolism clinical trial, underscores my commitment to advancing treatment for patients with acute pulmonary embolism with high-risk features. I review clinical practice guidelines for treating venous clots and pulmonary embolism at NYU Langone, contributing to the continuous improvement of patient care. I have developed and implemented educational programming for medical residents, ensuring that the next generation of physicians is well-prepared to provide exceptional care.

I have a special interest in global health. My work co-founding a student program for a nonprofit organization dedicated to humanitarian efforts in Africa and South America reflects my commitment to making a positive impact both locally and globally.

I pursued my medical degree with a focus on pulmonary and critical care, driven by a fascination with the complexities of the human respiratory system and a commitment to improving patient outcomes. As part of NYU Langone, I am proud to collaborate with an expert team, ensuring coordinated patient care for my patients.
