William B. Plowe, MD

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am motivated by the chance to positively influence the lives of those in our community. I find fulfillment in transforming chaotic situations into organized ones and in easing discomfort whenever I can. My position at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn enables me to provide compassionate care to the Sunset Park and broader Brooklyn community.

My specialty is emergency medicine, a discipline that situates me at the forefront of the healthcare system, prepared to handle crises at any moment. Since starting my training at Bellevue in 2019, I have acquired invaluable experience, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I observed how social factors can significantly affect health outcomes, which has sharpened my skills and reinforced my dedication to delivering optimal care for my patients.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive engagement in healthcare. This dedication is reflected in my work in the emergency department, where I aim to offer immediate, effective care while also taking into account the wider social and health factors that influence my patients. My association with NYU Langone enables me to work in collaboration with other professionals, assuring comprehensive and coordinated care.

My decision to pursue a career in medicine was sparked by a desire to make a difference in people’s lives. The intensity and focus required in emergency medicine, along with the chance to provide immediate relief to those in crisis, attracted me to this specialty. I am honored to be a part of NYU Langone, where I can continue to serve my community and contribute to the progression of healthcare.
