Adriana S. Manikian, MD

As a dedicated pediatric emergency medicine specialist at NYU Langone, I am committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care to children and young adults facing a wide spectrum of acute illnesses in the emergency department. I am passionate about the immediate impact of emergency care and the critical nature of our specialty, which allows me to make a significant difference in the lives of my patients during their most vulnerable times.

I specialize in pediatric emergency medicine and have extensive training and expertise in point-of-care ultrasound. As the emergency ultrasound director in the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, I leverage these skills to effectively manage critically ill and complex patients, expediting and enhancing their care. With years of experience in the field, I am dedicated to ensuring that each patient receives the best possible treatment.

Throughout my career, I have focused on medical education, sharing my knowledge through point-of-care ultrasound training, medical simulation, and emergency procedures skills simulation. I have had the honor of mentoring many medical students, residents, and pediatric emergency medicine fellows, fostering the next generation of young physicians. My work in this area underscores my commitment to proactive healthcare engagement and the importance of continuous learning and improvement.

My journey into pediatric emergency medicine was driven by a desire to treat children during the most challenging times of their lives. Inspired by the immediate impact and critical nature of emergency care, I pursued this path to make a meaningful difference. Being part of the NYU Langone team allows me to contribute to the comprehensive and coordinated care of our patients, ensuring they receive the highest standard of treatment when they need it most.
