Ceyda Akartuna, MD

As a geriatrics specialist and hospitalist at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, I am deeply committed to delivering high-quality care that prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of older adults. My professional approach is centered on fostering a healthcare environment that values respect, dignity, and inclusion for all patients.

I specialize in comprehensive assessments, interventions based on the latest research, and collaborative care planning that actively involves patients and their families. My focus includes reducing risks such as falls, medication errors, and hospital readmissions through vigilant monitoring and preventive strategies. Serving underserved populations is a core priority of mine, and I strive to address healthcare disparities by advocating for equitable resources and culturally sensitive care.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with interdisciplinary teams to ensure that vulnerable seniors receive compassionate, coordinated care tailored to their individual needs. My dedication to proactive healthcare engagement extends to my mentorship roles, in which I aim to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life for the older population—especially those most in need.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of older adults. Pursuing my medical degree with a focus on geriatrics, I was driven by the unique challenges and rewards of caring for this population. At NYU Langone, I am proud to contribute to a healthcare system that supports comprehensive care for all patients.
