Erin K. Gonzalez, MD

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to patients in critical situations. My philosophy centers on understanding each patient’s unique experiences, values, and resources to find the best path to better health. The dynamic and demanding nature of emergency medicine allows me to make a significant impact in a short amount of time, which is incredibly rewarding.

I specialize in treating adults with a wide range of medical emergencies, including injuries, acute illnesses, and mental health crises. With extensive training and years of experience, I am well equipped to handle the complexities of emergency care. Our emergency department is certified by the American College of Surgeons as a Level 1 Trauma Center and is a state-designated Comprehensive Stroke Center. We also provide leading-edge care for patients with heart conditions and sepsis, ensuring that our patients receive the highest standard of care.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement and fostering strong partnerships with my patients. Leading a team of skilled advanced practice providers, nurses, technicians, and trainees, I ensure that every patient receives coordinated and seamless care. The teamwork and standard of care in our emergency department are unparalleled, and I am proud to be part of such a dedicated team.

My journey into medicine began during my earliest experiences in the field, where I saw my role models respond to emergencies with calmness and creativity. These experiences taught me that emergency medicine, while often chaotic, is a specialty where skilled physicians can change lives in an instant. This inspiration, coupled with the exciting advancements in emergency care, led me to pursue a career in this field. My education and training have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide exceptional care to my patients, and I am committed to making a difference in their lives.
