David S. Ellenberg, MD

As a dedicated physician at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, I am committed to providing compassionate, patient–provider care that emphasizes wellness and proactive health management. My role in the pulmonary, critical care, and palliative care services allows me to support patients through some of their most challenging health experiences.

I specialize in the intersection and integration of critical care and palliative care, focusing on improving the quality of life for patients with chronic and severe conditions. With extensive experience in medical ethics and global health, I bring a holistic approach to patient care, ensuring that every decision aligns with the patient's values and goals. My work involves not only treating patients but also engaging in meaningful conversations about their care preferences and long-term health goals. This approach fosters strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring they feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their healthcare journey.

Throughout my career, I have also been dedicated to advancing the fields of critical and palliative care through teaching. My commitment to medical education is reflected in my role as an instructor for NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s internal medicine clerkship and practice of medicine seminars, where I mentor the next generation of physicians.
