Yamen Homsi, MD, MPH

As a rheumatologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to patients with rheumatic diseases. My philosophy centers on patient education and collaboration, ensuring that each individual understands their condition and treatment options. This approach allows us to make informed decisions together, fostering a strong partnership aimed at improving overall health and wellness.

I specialize in treating a wide range of rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and spondyloarthropathy. I have a particular clinical interest in systemic sclerosis, systemic vasculitis, and autoimmune myositis. My commitment to proactive healthcare engagement is reflected in my years of experience in the field, during which I have honed my skills in managing complex autoimmune conditions.

Throughout my career, I have focused on the intricate nature of rheumatic diseases, which often involve chronic and daily pain. My work includes performing various joint aspirations and injections. I collaborate closely with the sports orthopedic team at NYU Langone to provide coordinated, seamless care. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that my patients receive the most comprehensive and effective treatment possible.

My journey into medicine began in middle school, driven by a deep love for science and the influence of my family and friends. I consider myself fortunate to have been trained by some of the best physicians in the world, which has profoundly shaped my medical career. My passion for helping those who suffer from autoimmune diseases led me to specialize in rheumatology after completing my internal medicine training.
