Renu R. Aggarwal, MD

As a neonatologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care to our most vulnerable patients—newborns. My passion for science and the circle of life led me to specialize in neonatology, where I can make a significant impact on the lives of premature and critically ill infants. I find immense satisfaction in supporting not only the infants but also their families during such a critical time.

I specialize in caring for extremely premature babies and full-term infants with conditions such as respiratory distress, sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and chronic lung disease, including other neonatal related conditions. With extensive training and years of experience, I am adept at making fast, timely decisions that can mean the difference between life and death. My holistic approach ensures that I address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of both the infants and their families, fostering a supportive environment in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients receive the highest quality of care. I follow my patients after hospital discharge through neonatal follow-up visits, monitoring their growth and development alongside specialists, including neurologists, developmental pediatricians, speech-language specialists, and physical therapists. This continuity of care is crucial for the long-term health and wellbeing of my patients.

My journey into medicine began with a deep compassion for others and a passion for science. From my early days in medical school, I knew I was in the right place, enjoying every aspect of medicine, from bedside learning to understanding and addressing patient concerns. The challenges and rewards of neonatology inspire me daily, and I am honored to be part of NYU Langone, where I collaborate with a diverse and dedicated team to provide coordinated, seamless care for our patients.
