Sally H. Kwa, MD

At NYU Langone, I am an internal medicine specialist with a deep commitment to advocating for my patients and empowering them to improve their wellbeing and lead fulfilling lives. I believe in the importance of humility in medicine, and I am always open to seeking advice from my colleagues to find the best solutions for my patients. My approach to care is highly personalized, knowing my patients as unique individuals, not just by their conditions.

My expertise is in managing chronic diseases and maintaining general health for adults aged 18 and above. This role reflects my years of experience and my commitment to proactive engagement in healthcare.

Throughout my career, I have prioritized building strong relationships with my patients, aiming to ensure a positive experience for them. I am dedicated to patient engagement and responsiveness, which I believe are crucial for successful healthcare outcomes. Being part of NYU Langone allows me to provide coordinated, seamless care, further enhancing the patient experience.

My journey into medicine began in high school when a mentor introduced me to biomedical research. This experience, coupled with my desire to show that an Asian woman from an island state of Hawaii can excel in medicine, inspired me to pursue this career path. I chose internal medicine because it allows me to oversee my patients' overall health and guide them to the right specialists when necessary.
