Alisa N. Femia, MD

As an associate professor at NYU Langone, I provide care that is both comprehensive and compassionate. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the intricacies of the human body and the profound impact our health has on our lives and those around us. This passion led me to a career in medicine. I cherish the opportunity to craft individualized care plans that consider a patient’s overall health, risks of therapies, and personal health goals.

I specialize in dermatology, with a particular focus on autoimmune cutaneous connective tissue diseases. My expertise in this area was honed during a fellowship in dermatology-rheumatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. This specialized training has equipped me with the skills to manage complex autoimmune conditions that can affect both the skin and internal organs.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with a collaborative team at NYU Langone. This teamwork allows me to provide coordinated and seamless care to my patients, ensuring they receive the best possible outcomes. I am also actively involved in medical education and have received multiple teaching awards for my dedication to training the next generation of physicians. My clinical work has been recognized nationally and internationally, and I am frequently invited to speak on topics related to medical dermatology. I am an active participant in national medical societies, and frequently publish on the clinical research I perform.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a deep-seated interest in science and a desire to help others. The mentorship and training I have received has been pivotal in shaping my career, and I am grateful to be part of the NYU Langone community. Here, I am inspired daily by my colleagues and the patients I serve, and I strive to deliver care that is both effective and empathetic.
