Sara Reed, D.O.

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, timely care to patients during their most critical moments. The fast-paced, dynamic environment of the emergency department allows me to make a direct and immediate impact on my patients’ lives, which is incredibly fulfilling. I am driven by the challenge of diagnosing and treating a wide variety of conditions rapidly and effectively, ensuring that each patient receives the highest quality of care.

I specialize in managing a broad spectrum of medical emergencies, from minor injuries like sprains and cuts to life-threatening conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and severe trauma. My expertise includes performing critical procedures such as intubations, central line placements, chest tube insertions, and emergency resuscitations. With my experience in this field, I have honed my skills to provide swift and precise interventions that can save lives.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and patient education. I believe that every patient deserves to understand their situation and treatment options, which empowers them to take control of their health. My commitment to patient–provider care extends beyond the emergency department, as I work collaboratively with my colleagues to ensure seamless transitions and appropriate follow-up care.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a deep-seated desire to help people in their moments of greatest need. One pivotal experience during my training involved treating a patient with a heart attack, where our team’s coordinated efforts led to a successful outcome. This reaffirmed my passion for emergency medicine and the profound difference we can make in a matter of minutes.
