Adam P. Pepperman, MD

In college, I became friends with a few of the school’s emergency medical technicians and became enamored with the field of medicine. Caring for people in their time of need and being able to provide advice and guidance are things I take pride in and find immensely gratifying.

I ultimately chose to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology to help others pursue their health and wellness goals. I enjoy assisting with family planning and major milestones, such as having a baby or perimenopause. I am continually reenergized by the patients I meet and the wide range of care associated with this specialty.

In medicine, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care. I enjoy getting to know people and listening to what health issues they want to address. I create personalized care plans for my patients that reflect their health goals.

As the medical director of the postpartum unit at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, I work with our nurses, pediatricians, and other obstetrician–gynecologists to deliver high-quality care to new parents and their babies and to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from the hospital delivery room to their homes. I also strive to improve quality, safety, and patients’ experiences during their stay.

Demonstrating my commitment to the field, I have received numerous accolades and honors throughout my professional career. These include being named resident of the year during my training and obtaining the distinguished Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award for mentorship and compassionate patient care.
