Adam Faye, MD

As a gastroenterologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, individualistic care. My journey into medicine began at a young age when my father became acutely ill. The dedication and empathy shown by the clinical staff during his hospital stay inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. This early exposure to the field, coupled with my experiences as a volunteer with a local ambulance company, solidified my desire to help others during their most critical moments.

I specialize in gastroenterology with a particular focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). My passion for this specialty grew during my medical residency and tenure as chief resident, especially as I supported close relatives with IBD. Witnessing the physical, emotional, and social challenges they faced motivated me to pursue additional subspecialty training in IBD. I am dedicated to advancing the care of individuals with IBD through both clinical practice and research. My approach emphasizes not only treating the underlying disease but also understanding the broader psychosocial impact, aiming to enhance my patients' overall quality of life.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring the best possible outcomes for my patients. As the director of clinical research for the NYU Langone Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, my research is focused at the intersection of aging and IBD, exploring how biological factors like frailty and sarcopenia influence disease and treatment outcomes. This work underscores the importance of individualized treatment plans that go beyond chronological age, and has been supported by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, the American College of Gastroenterology, and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.

At NYU Langone’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, we integrate clinical efforts with cutting-edge research findings, ensuring our patients receive the highest level of care. Our multidisciplinary approach addresses all nutritional, psychosocial, and colorectal surgery needs, and I am privileged to be part of such a comprehensive team.
