Howard L. Scheiner, MD

As an internal medicine physician at NYU Langone, my approach to care is deeply rooted in empathy and understanding. This perspective was profoundly shaped by a personal experience with my grandmother, who battled gallbladder cancer. Witnessing her journey, I felt a strong calling to dedicate my life to alleviating suffering and combating illness. Today, I bring this same dedication to my role at NYU Langone, offering solace and understanding to those in need.

My expertise lies in general internal medicine, with a particular emphasis on well-exams, preoperative medical clearances, and the management of chronic conditions. These conditions include diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, which I'll define for clarity. Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body uses blood sugar, hypertension is persistently high blood pressure, and high cholesterol refers to high levels of fats in your blood. I also have considerable experience in treating patients with HIV and sexually transmitted diseases. My years of practice have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide top-tier care for my patients.

Throughout my career, I have prioritized proactive engagement in healthcare. My commitment to overall health and wellness extends beyond treating conditions—it involves fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring a positive patient experience.

My decision to pursue a career in medicine was deeply personal, and my choice to specialize in internal medicine was driven by my desire to offer comprehensive care to those in need. I am proud to be a part of NYU Langone, where I can collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated, seamless care for my patients. I am not just treating a condition; I am caring for the person behind the illness.
