Katherine M. Jahnes, MD

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to ensuring the health, safety, and comfort of my patients during some of their most critical moments. The chaotic environment of an emergency department can be overwhelming, but my role is to provide stability and expert care, guiding patients through their immediate health concerns with compassion and precision.

I have extensive experience in trauma care and bedside teaching. My career began at NYU Langone as a full-time clinical attending, where I worked at the Cobble Hill Emergency Department at the Joseph S. & Diane H. Steinberg Ambulatory Care Center, the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine, and the Emergency Department at Bellevue. I was part of the pioneering faculty at Cobble Hill Emergency Department and Virtual Urgent Care, which introduced innovative clinical settings such as a freestanding emergency department and telemedicine.

Throughout my career, I have focused on improving safety and efficiency within the emergency department. As an associate chief of service at Bellevue, I have the opportunity to influence processes that enhance patient care and streamline operations. My work involves close collaboration with residents and specialists from various programs, fostering a team-based approach to emergency medicine. Working at NYU Langone allows me to connect patients with top specialists, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care beyond the emergency department.
