Juan F. Acosta, D.O.

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am committed to providing empathetic and comprehensive care. I understand that when patients and their loved ones come to the emergency department, they are often at their most vulnerable. It’s my responsibility to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in the care they receive.

My expertise spans a broad spectrum of conditions, and I provide care for all age groups, from infants to older adults. With over two decades of experience in emergency medicine, I have honed my skills to manage a variety of conditions swiftly and effectively. I am American Osteopathic Association board-certified in emergency medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine, which means I can offer osteopathic manipulative treatment to my patients. This unique combination of qualifications and experience ensures my patients receive comprehensive, expert care.

I have always prioritized proactive engagement in healthcare. I believe in treating patients holistically, considering their overall wellbeing, not just their immediate condition. This approach extends to my work at Long Island Community Hospital, a part of NYU Langone, where I collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated care.

My approach to medicine was shaped by my early experiences as a paramedic, where I learned the importance of immediate, efficient care. The intensity and immediacy of the work, coupled with the opportunity to make a real difference in my patients’ lives, drew me to pursue a career in emergency medicine. The most fulfilling part of my job is the connection I make with my patients. Even if our interaction is brief, I strive to make a lasting impact.
