Gina A. Ciavarra, MD

As a musculoskeletal radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to enhancing patient care through precise diagnosis and management of orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions, as well as tumors of the musculoskeletal system. My passion for this field stems from my background as an athlete, where I witnessed firsthand the impact of sports-related injuries on my teammates. This experience drives my commitment to helping patients achieve optimal health and mobility.

I specialize in interpreting computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasounds, and radiographs of the spine, joints, and soft tissues. With over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in performing image-guided procedures, including therapeutic injections, joint aspirations, and biopsies. My expertise is further supported by my board certification in clinical informatics from the American Board of Preventive Medicine, which allows me to integrate information technology and data analysis to improve patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, working closely with patients to ensure they are informed and involved in their care decisions. My role at NYU Langone enables me to collaborate with a team of specialists, ensuring coordinated and seamless care for our patients. I am also enthusiastic about working with our IT team and vendors to enhance workflows and the radiologists’ experience with our IT systems, ultimately benefiting patient care.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my father, a urologist, and my experiences as an athlete. After completing my medical degree, I chose to specialize in radiology. In 2021, I obtained a master of management in clinical informatics from Duke University. This additional training has equipped me with the tools to leverage technology in improving healthcare delivery. I am proud to be part of NYU Langone, where I can make a meaningful impact on my patients’ lives through advanced diagnostic imaging and compassionate care.
