Jay Hammel, MD

As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I deliver thorough and compassionate care. My passion for radiology stems from the intellectual challenge it presents—solving complex health puzzles to improve patient outcomes. I am committed to leveraging advanced imaging techniques to deliver precise diagnoses and guide effective treatment plans.

With extensive years of experience, I specialize in abdominal and genitourinary imaging. My dedication to excellence in diagnostic radiology has been recognized with the Castle Connolly Top Doctors award for 20 consecutive years.

My journey into medicine began with a major in biomedical engineering at Northwestern University, where I focused on prosthetics research. However, my passion for patient care led me to pursue a medical degree at Upstate Medical University, where I discovered my love for radiology. The field’s blend of technology and patient interaction, along with the collaborative nature of the work, inspired me to specialize in abdominal imaging.
