James Osei-Sarpong Jr., MD

As a hospitalist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing care that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and comprehensive treatment. My approach is rooted in the belief that every patient deserves to feel stronger and more hopeful after each interaction. I am committed to listening to patients' stories and addressing their needs with knowledge and compassion.

I specialize in managing patients with complex medical conditions, including heart failure, stroke, and various infectious diseases that impact the blood and vital organs. My role extends beyond clinical management to include coordinating care plans and determining appropriate dispositions. I work closely with a diverse interdisciplinary team, including consultants, advanced practice providers, nurses, social workers, and case managers, to ensure that each patient receives holistic and effective care.

Throughout my career, I have developed unique skills in handling intricate medical cases and fostering strong partnerships with my colleagues. My methodology emphasizes proactive healthcare engagement and responsiveness, ensuring that patients receive timely and coordinated care. This collaborative approach is integral to my practice and enhances the overall patient experience.

My journey into medicine began in the sixth grade, inspired by a love for science while growing up in the South Bronx. This early curiosity, combined with a passion for connecting with people, guided me toward a career in medicine. With the unwavering support of my family and mentors, and driven by faith and perseverance, I am now privileged to live my dream each day. I am honored to be part of NYU Langone, where I can make a meaningful impact on my patients' lives.
