George Economou, MD

As an internal medicine physician at NYU Langone, I provide comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. Effective healthcare is a partnership between the physician and the patient. I strive to be an attentive listener and communicator, ensuring my patients feel heard and understood. I aim to help them achieve optimal health and wellness through proactive engagement and personalized care.

I specialize in managing a wide range of chronic medical conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, anemia, osteoarthritis, anxiety, and depression. I also treat patients with acute conditions such as upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and musculoskeletal injuries. With years of experience in internal medicine, I have honed my skills in diagnosing and treating complex medical issues, always prioritizing my patients’ overall wellbeing.

I have been committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients throughout my career. The best outcomes occur when patients are actively involved in their care. My training in Manhattan exposed me to a diverse patient population, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of various medical conditions and cultural backgrounds. This experience has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary to provide high-quality care to all my patients.

My journey into medicine began with a passion for math and science, which led me to pursue pre-med studies during my undergraduate education. Inspired by the words of Ambroise Paré, “The art of medicine is to cure sometimes, to relieve often, and to comfort always,” I chose to specialize in internal medicine to become a versatile physician capable of addressing a wide array of health issues. My residency training in Manhattan further solidified my commitment to patient-provider care. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that values coordinated, seamless care, ensuring that my patients receive the best possible treatment.
