Gavriil Ilizarov, DO

As a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation at NYU Langone, I am committed to enhancing the quality of life for my patients. I make it a point to understand their daily routines and how their medical conditions might affect their interactions with the world. This understanding allows me to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses their unique needs and promotes their overall wellness.

My expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare and technology, specifically in the field of clinical informatics. This involves focusing on the physician–patient interaction and how technology can facilitate effective intervention. I have a particular interest in chronic conditions that require long-term management. Using my knowledge, I guide patients on their health journey, instilling confidence and ease.

Throughout my career, I have underscored the importance of physician education, especially regarding the electronic health record (EHR). I firmly believe that when physicians fully understand the capabilities of the EHR, they can deliver healthcare more effectively and concentrate more on the patient. This proactive approach to healthcare engagement extends to my work at NYU Langone, where I am dedicated to fostering strong patient–provider partnerships and ensuring a positive patient experience.

My journey into medicine was sparked by my fascination with technology and its potential to improve healthcare delivery. I pursued my doctor of osteopathy degree with a focus on physical medicine and rehabilitation, and I have since devoted my career to integrating these two passions. As part of the NYU Langone team, I have the opportunity to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of experts, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients.
