Jonah Zaretsky, MD

As a hospitalist physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to ensuring that each of my patients receives exceptional, compassionate care both during and after their hospital stay. My philosophy centers on the belief that everyone deserves top-notch medical care within their community. I take great pride in diagnosing and treating patients with a wide range of conditions while coordinating closely with specialists to deliver coordinated care. Empowering patients with a clear understanding of their diagnoses and treatment paths is a cornerstone of my practice, fostering confidence and engagement in their recovery.

With a focus on proactive healthcare engagement, I have pursued quality initiatives to enhance the patient experience. This includes research into advanced artificial intelligence technologies that offer patients accessible, patient-friendly information about their health. My commitment to continuous improvement and innovation ensures that my patients receive the most up-to-date and effective treatments available.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to improving healthcare systems for the benefit of my patients. In addition to my clinical role, I serve as the medical director of the oncology unit and associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn. In these leadership positions, I focus on upholding the highest standards of safety and quality in patient care, ensuring that each patient and their loved ones feel supported, respected, and truly cared for throughout their hospital journey.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I pursued my medical degree with a focus on internal medicine, driven by a passion for understanding complex medical conditions and improving patient outcomes. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that shares my commitment to coordinated care for all patients.
