Zeyar Htun, DO

As a neonatologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care for critically ill preterm infants and neonates. My philosophy of care revolves around excellent communication and patient–provider rounds, ensuring that all members of the medical team, including parents, are well-informed and involved in the care process. I find great fulfillment in guiding parents through the challenging journey of having a newborn in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and I am committed to delivering the highest standard of care.

I specialize in treating a wide range of conditions in the NICU, including congenital defects, breathing problems, infections, cardiac anomalies, and jaundice. Additionally, I provide care in the NICU Follow-Up Clinic, where I screen for developmental delays and offer outpatient prenatal NICU consultations for parents expecting their infants to require NICU care post-delivery. With extensive training and years of experience, I am well-equipped to handle the complexities of neonatal care and am passionate about fostering strong partnerships with my patients and their families.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of excellent communication and teamwork. My strengths lie in my interpersonal skills and my ability to work effectively within a team environment, ensuring a positive and supportive experience for both patients and their families. My commitment to patient engagement and responsiveness is at the core of my practice, and I strive to create a nurturing and collaborative atmosphere in the NICU.

My journey into neonatology was inspired by a desire to make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable patients—newborns. My passion for this field was further solidified during my residency and fellowship training, where I witnessed firsthand the impact of compassionate and skilled care on the outcomes of critically ill infants. As part of the NYU Langone team, I am proud to contribute to a comprehensive and coordinated approach that ensures the best possible care for my patients.
