John S. Munger, MD

As a pulmonologist at NYU Langone Pulmonary and Critical Care Associates, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. I specialize in treating patients with a wide range of pulmonary conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and post-COVID respiratory issues.

My role as an attending physician on the pulmonary service at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital allows me to provide coordinated care, ensuring that my patients in the hospital receive the highest quality of treatment. As the director of the Honors Program and the Internal Medicine Summer Fellowship Program for medical students at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I am also passionate about mentoring the next generation of physicians and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

With years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep understanding of the intricacies of lung health and disease management. My research has focused on the mechanisms by which latent TGF-β is activated and its implications for fibrosis, development, and immune regulation, as well as the role of cellular signaling in normal and injured lungs. These areas of expertise enable me to offer advanced care to my patients.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient education and patients’ involvement in their own care. I am dedicated to understanding patients’ unique health needs and working together to manage and improve their respiratory health. Being part of the NYU Langone system allows me to collaborate with a diverse team, ensuring that my patients benefit from a comprehensive and integrated approach to their care.
