Mary Grace E. Castro, D.O.

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to all my patients. My philosophy of care centers on building meaningful connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds, understanding their unique needs, and guiding them toward healthier lifestyle choices. I find immense satisfaction in the dynamic environment of the emergency department, where I can significantly impact patient’s lives during critical moments.

I specialize in managing acute conditions and am particularly interested in promoting physical activity as a cornerstone of physical and mental health. My extensive training includes a fellowship in sports medicine, where I gained valuable experience in both emergency and outpatient settings. This training has equipped me with advanced skills in musculoskeletal ultrasound and a deep understanding of injury prevention and rehabilitation. With over a decade of experience in the field, I am committed to delivering high-quality care and fostering strong patient partnerships.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient education and healthy lifestyle choices. My research has explored the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and brain health, reflecting my dedication to holistic patient care. At NYU Langone, I collaborate with a diverse team of specialists to ensure coordinated and seamless care for my patients, enhancing their overall health outcomes.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my mother, a dedicated nurse whose exceptional ability to care for others deeply influenced me. Her dedication instilled in me a profound respect for the nursing profession and sparked my desire to pursue a career in medicine. I am thrilled to be part of the NYU Langone team, where I can continue to grow as a physician and make a positive difference in the lives of my patients.
