Robert E. Tepper, MD

As a gastroenterologist at NYU Langone, I provide comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help people, a passion that has only grown stronger over the years. I find great fulfillment in the cognitive and procedural aspects of gastroenterology, a field that constantly challenges and fascinates me. Building trust with my patients is paramount, and I achieve this by spending ample time with them and carefully listening to their concerns.

I specialize in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and general gastroenterology conditions. With extensive experience in these areas, I am committed to offering the highest standard of care. Our practice is uniquely equipped with a clinical research unit, providing patients access to the latest therapeutic options for IBD. Additionally, we have an in-office infusion room for patients who cannot receive their treatments at the on-site Infusion Center at NYU Langone.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients are well-informed and actively involved in their treatment plans. My work in gastroenterology has been diverse, encompassing both clinical practice and research, which allows me to stay at the forefront of advancements in the field.

My educational journey began with a deep-seated interest in medicine. The combination of cognitive challenges and procedural skills required in gastroenterology drew me to this specialty. As part of NYU Langone, I collaborate with a team to ensure coordinated and seamless care for my patients, always striving to enhance their overall health and wellbeing.
