Ngoc M. Nguyen-Famulare, MD

As an anesthesiologist at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, I am dedicated to providing patient-centered care with a focus on safety and comfort. My approach involves listening attentively to my patients, explaining my anesthetic plan thoroughly, and ensuring they feel assured and informed. I believe that building trust through sincere communication is essential for a positive patient experience.

I specialize in pediatric anesthesiology, with extensive experience in managing pediatric airway cases. My work primarily involves treating children with airway abnormalities, often resulting from premature birth or congenital syndromes.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to advancing the field of pediatric anesthesiology through research and innovation. I have presented my findings at numerous national conferences and published in medical journals, covering topics such as pediatric obstructive sleep apnea and pediatric airway abnormalities. My research aims to improve anesthesia management and outcomes for pediatric patients, contributing to broader medical practices.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my grandfather, who served as a physician assistant in rural Mekong Delta during the Indochina War. Initially drawn to surgery, I discovered my true passion for anesthesiology after encountering a remarkable pediatric anesthesiologist. This experience solidified my decision to specialize in pediatric anesthesiology, where I could combine my interest in surgery with my dedication to caring for children. My educational background and research efforts reflect my commitment to providing the highest quality care for my patients.
