Matthew G. Young, DO

As a neuroradiologist at NYU Langone, I center my approach on precise, compassionate patient care, using advanced imaging techniques. I was drawn to neuroradiology because of its unique role in diagnosing and understanding complex neurological conditions. My philosophy of care is rooted in the belief that patients deserve clarity and confidence in their health journey, and I strive to provide that through my work.

I specialize in diagnosing patients with a wide range of neurological conditions, including brain tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. With more than 12 years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and perfusion imaging. My extensive training and years of practice have equipped me with the expertise to deliver accurate and timely diagnoses, which are crucial for effective treatment planning.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient education and involvement. As the director of clinical medical student education in radiology, I have had the privilege of mentoring future radiologists and have been honored with awards for my teaching contributions. My commitment to making medical information accessible has led me to develop innovative educational tools, such as video radiology reports and 3D cinematic imaging, which help bridge the gap between complex imaging findings and patient understanding.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a fascination with the brain's complexity and the vital role of imaging in patient care. I pursued my medical degree with a focus on neuroradiology, driven by a desire to make a tangible difference in patients' lives. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that values coordinated care, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive support throughout their healthcare journey.
