Anup Chitnis, MD

My role as an attending physician at the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine allows me to engage directly with patients during critical moments, ensuring they receive timely and effective treatment. I am passionate about the dynamic nature of emergency medicine and the opportunity it provides to make a significant impact on patients' lives.

I specialize in emergency medicine with a focus on managing acute conditions and improving operational efficiency within the emergency department. With over 25 years of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities of emergency care. My credentials include serving as a clinical assistant professor in the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where I have been involved in educating the next generation of physicians. My administrative roles, such as medical director of the Emergency Department Observation Unit and associate chief of service at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn Emergency Department, highlight my commitment to enhancing patient care and department operations.

Throughout my career, I have balanced clinical practice with administrative responsibilities. My work has included the redesign of emergency department processes and the implementation of user-friendly electronic health records (EHR) systems. I have also contributed to the field through peer-reviewed publications, particularly in expanding diabetes screening in emergency department patients. My research interests are driven by a commitment to improving patient outcomes and advancing emergency medicine practices.

My journey into medicine began with a fascination for the fast-paced environment of emergency care. After completing my medical training, I dedicated my career to serving the Brooklyn community. My passion for emergency medicine is fueled by the diverse and vibrant culture of New York City, and I strive to blend clinical excellence with leadership to provide the best possible care for my patients.
