Timothy Fong, DO

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I provide high-quality medical care to patients from diverse backgrounds. My commitment to compassionate care is rooted in my early experiences on medical mission trips during high school, where I delivered care in resource-limited settings. These formative experiences inspired my path toward emergency medicine, a specialty that allows me to offer immediate and impactful care to all individuals.

I specialize in emergency medicine with a focus on emergency ultrasound, having completed a fellowship in this area. My training at Midwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, and subsequent specialization at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist equipped me with the skills to leverage advanced technologies for rapid, high-quality care. With in-depth experience, I have developed a particular interest in utilizing nerve blocks to manage pain without relying on opioid medications, a passion that continues to inform my research and clinical practice.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment. My work in the emergency department involves stabilizing patients, identifying their conditions, and treating underlying causes. I am also actively involved in advancing emergency ultrasound research, educating the next generation of medical providers, and training specialists passionate about this field.

As a clinical assistant professor of emergency medicine and a faculty member in the Division of Emergency Ultrasound at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I am privileged to be part of a team that upholds a culture of excellence, innovation, and compassion. Together, we ensure that all patients are treated with respect, dignity, and vigilance.
