Jorge M. Mercado, MD

As the associate section chief of the pulmonary and critical care section at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, I am dedicated to delivering care that emphasizes shared decision-making and personalized treatment plans. My passion lies in improving patient outcomes and quality of life through the integration of clinical research, innovative treatment approaches, and compassionate care. In my role, I also serve as the director of pulmonary medicine and the director of bronchoscopy at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, where I work as an attending physician in the medical intensive care unit. I see patients at NYU Langone Brooklyn Medical Associates—Dyker Heights and Perlmutter Cancer Center—Sunset Park-Pulmonology.

I specialize in advanced bronchoscopy and the diagnosis and management of lung cancer, utilizing minimally invasive techniques such as endobronchial ultrasound and navigational robotic bronchoscopy. These procedures enable accurate diagnosis and staging of thoracic malignancies, ensuring that my patients receive precise and effective care. Additionally, I have extensive experience in managing chronic respiratory conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and interstitial lung disease. My commitment to applying the latest guidelines ensures the highest standard of care for all my patients.

My work in the field has been dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of pulmonary conditions, always striving to enhance patient care through innovative techniques and comprehensive management strategies. As a part of NYU Langone, I collaborate with a team of dedicated professionals, ensuring coordinated and seamless care for my patients.
