Matthew L. Dominguez, MD

As an emergency department psychiatrist at NYU Langone, my purpose is to offer immediate and effective care to individuals in the midst of severe mental health crises. I am deeply committed to evaluating and treating conditions such as thoughts of suicide, psychosis, and intense anxiety. My work is inspired by a profound respect for the human mind and a dedication to supporting those in their most vulnerable moments.

My specialty is in performing comprehensive emergency mental health evaluations that lead to implementing a treatment plan to stabilize patients and managing ongoing mental health conditions, a capability that is essential in a fast-paced emergency department environment.

At NYU Langone, I collaborate closely with other emergency department staff in an integrated approach to ensure all-encompassing and effective care. My role goes beyond the immediate crisis, focusing on the long-term wellbeing of my patients. It merges my passion for mental health with the urgency of emergency medicine, providing a unique and vital service to our community.
