Sophia Kwon, D.O., MPH

As a critical care physician at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. I specialize in managing critical care conditions, with a particular focus on COVID-19 lung injury, systemic inflammation, and cardiopulmonary diseases induced by exposure to air pollution and other particulate matter. With extensive training and years of experience in the field, I am committed to advancing our understanding and treatment of these complex conditions.

My approach to medicine is rooted in proactive engagement with healthcare, ensuring that my patients are well-informed and actively involved in their treatment plans. I am passionate about fostering strong partnerships with my patients, emphasizing the importance of overall health and wellness.

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in research aimed at improving outcomes for patients with chronic health conditions. My work with the committee for the Environmental, Occupational, and Population Health Assembly of the American Thoracic Society allows me to stay at the forefront of emerging health issues and innovative treatments, to enhance my patient’s care experience.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a tangible difference in people's lives. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that provides coordinated care, ensuring that my patients receive the highest standard of treatment.
