Rebecca Haberman, MD

As a rheumatologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to fostering long-lasting relationships with my patients and guiding them through every aspect of their care. My fascination with the autoimmune system and rheumatology stems from my family background in medicine, and I am passionate about helping patients manage their conditions to lead full and active lives.

In my role as the associate director of the Psoriatic Arthritis Center at NYU Langone, I specialize in diagnosing and treating psoriatic arthritis and related conditions in adults. With extensive experience in this field, I am committed to improving patient outcomes and quality of life. My research focuses on understanding the clinical and neurological aspects of pain in psoriatic arthritis, as well as identifying the factors that cause some patients to progress from skin psoriasis to joint involvement.

Throughout my career, I have emphasized a comprehensive approach to patient care. At our center, we offer joint appointments with dermatologists to effectively treat both skin and joint symptoms. We also collaborate closely with specialists in cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and mental health to address the comorbidities associated with psoriatic arthritis, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, depression, anxiety, eye disease, and gastrointestinal issues.

My educational journey began with a deep-rooted interest in medicine. The ability to develop enduring relationships with patients and make a tangible difference in their lives drew me to rheumatology. My commitment to both clinical practice and research is driven by the goal of enhancing the lives of patients with psoriatic arthritis now and in the future.
