Yelena Iskhakova, MD

As an internist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and empathetic care. I find great fulfillment in building trust with my patients, listening closely to their concerns, and actively involving them in their care plans. This approach ensures that patients receive personalized attention and treatment tailored to their unique needs.

I specialize in managing patients with a wide range of conditions, from acute illnesses to chronic diseases. My expertise includes preventive care, health maintenance, vaccinations, and weight management. Additionally, my research on cardiac arrhythmias has contributed to improved patient outcomes. I am also recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for excellence in diabetes care, highlighting my commitment to managing chronic conditions effectively.

My journey into medicine began in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where I was inspired by the dedication of healthcare professionals. This early inspiration, combined with a deep passion for helping others and a fascination with the human body’s complexities, led me to pursue a career in medicine.

With years of experience in the field, I bring a holistic and collaborative approach to my practice. I work closely with nurses and medical staff to ensure that our patients receive high-quality care. This teamwork and innovation are central to our practice, allowing us to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients.
