Suneet Kumar, MD

As an internal medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. Building trust and rapport through transparency and communication is essential to me, as it leads to better health outcomes for my patients.

I specialize in managing patients in the hospital with a wide range of chronic conditions, including respiratory issues such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia, heart diseases like heart failure and heart attacks, and various infections affecting the lungs, blood, and skin. My expertise extends to performing several procedures, including ultrasound-guided central and arterial lines, thoracentesis, paracentesis, and lumbar punctures. This diverse skill set allows me to address multiple conditions effectively.

Throughout my career, I have focused on advancing medical knowledge by collaborating with colleagues across different specialties. This approach enhances our ability to treat patients with complex medical conditions and contributes to the broader medical community. My holistic approach to medicine emphasizes the importance of comprehensive care that goes beyond the hospital setting, ensuring that patients receive the support they need for successful recovery and long-term health.

My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help those in need during their most challenging times. My educational background and board certification in internal medicine have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality care. Additionally, my research on e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI), an acute lung injury due to vaping, underscores my commitment to staying at the forefront of medical advances to benefit my patients.
