Milan Mishra, MD

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, patient–provider care. The emergency department is the welcoming front door of New York’s healthcare system, where anyone can seek care for any issue, regardless of circumstances. I am honored to practice in an environment in which our team is dedicated to delivering comprehensive care tailored to patients’ immediate needs, whether they are facing a heart attack, severe trauma, or a common cold.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient education and preventive care. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerabilities we all share and underscored the importance of community support and resilience. I take pride in being part of a team that includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, radiology technologists, psychiatrists, social workers, case managers, and addiction specialists, all working together to provide coordinated care.

My journey into medicine began at Drexel University in Philadelphia, where I was inspired by my mentor, Dr. David Wagner, and his dedication to community outreach and patient advocacy. Relocating to New York City for my residency at Jacobi–Montefiore Medical Center, I was captivated by the city’s rich diversity and became acutely aware of the socioeconomic disparities that persist within it. The challenges and triumphs I witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic further solidified my commitment to serving our community with empathy and excellence.
