Martine Lutter-Hoppenheim, MD

As a dedicated hospitalist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care during some of the most vulnerable times in a patient's life. My passion for medicine began early, inspired by watching my mother manage the care of my late grandparents. This experience instilled in me a profound appreciation for the art of medicine and the importance of coordinated care.

I specialize in internal medicine, with a focus on hospital medicine, and have been practicing for more than a decade. My journey in medicine began at St. George’s University in Grenada, followed by graduate studies and work at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. I completed my residency in internal medicine in New York City, where I chose to stay and build my career. As a proud faculty member in the Division of Hospital Medicine, I thrive in the dynamic environment of the hospital wards, working alongside a dedicated team to ensure swift and effective patient care.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to proactive healthcare engagement and patient safety. I take pride in going the extra mile to ensure quality care, always asking my patients about their lives and what is most important to them. This approach is inspired by the wisdom of Sir William Osler, a seminal figure in internal medicine: “The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.” My work involves overseeing and coordinating patient care from admission through discharge, collaborating with various specialties to provide the best possible outcomes.

In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I advise the Department of Care Management, focusing on transitions of care, Medicare regulations, and hospital reimbursement. This role allows me to contribute to the broader healthcare system. I am grateful for the opportunity to work at a thriving academic medical center like NYU Langone, where I can collaborate with a dedicated team to deliver exceptional care to our patients.
