Beno W. Oppenheimer, MD

As a pulmonolgist at NYU Langone Pulmonary Associates, I am dedicated to delivering care that prioritizes proactive healthcare engagement. My passion lies in understanding and managing complex respiratory and cardiopulmonary conditions, particularly in patients with obesity.

I specialize in applied respiratory physiology and the cardiopulmonary physiology of obesity. With years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in managing chronic respiratory conditions and providing critical care. My additional role as the interim medical director for the Pulmonary Function Laboratory at Bellevue Hospital Center allows me to stay at the forefront of advances in pulmonary care, ensuring that my patients receive the most up-to-date treatments and interventions.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to advancing the field of respiratory and cardiopulmonary medicine through research and clinical practice. My work has focused on developing innovative approaches to improve respiratory function and overall health in patients with obesity. I believe in the importance of patient education and engagement, and I strive to build strong partnerships with my patients to help them navigate their healthcare journey.

My inspiration to pursue a career in medicine stemmed from a desire to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives, particularly those facing chronic health challenges. Being part of NYU Langone allows me to collaborate with a comprehensive team, ensuring that my patients receive coordinated care.
