Jay Karajgikar, MD

As a dedicated radiologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to leveraging the power of imaging to enhance patient care and wellbeing. My passion for radiology stems from a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others, inspired by my mother's early passing from a brain tumor. This personal experience drives my commitment to proactive healthcare, ensuring that my patients receive the highest quality of care through early detection and precise diagnosis.

Specializing in abdominopelvic radiology, I bring extensive expertise in interpreting abdominal and pelvic X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, ultrasounds, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. With more than a decade of experience in the field, I am adept at performing fluoroscopic procedures and collaborating with clinical colleagues to guide patient management effectively. My credentials and years of practice underscore my dedication to providing exceptional care, and I am honored to have been recognized as the Resident Teacher of the Year in 2022.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of early detection and accurate diagnosis. I am passionate about resident and medical student education, and I have had the privilege of speaking at regional and national conferences on various topics in abdominal imaging. My work is driven by a commitment to fostering strong partnerships with patients and colleagues alike, ensuring a positive healthcare experience.

My journey into medicine began with a profound desire to serve and make a difference. I pursued my medical degree with the goal of contributing to a field where I could help detect and manage diseases early, ultimately improving patient outcomes. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that prioritizes coordinated, comprehensive care, and advances the field of radiology through continuous learning and innovation.
