Paul Weissberg, MD

I have always had an innate desire to help people. While I was in high school and college, I loved studying the sciences and volunteering at local hospitals. I knew I wanted to attend medical school. Family medicine gives me the opportunity to form and maintain relationships with my patients throughout their life.

At NYU Langone, I typically see patients ranging from adolescence through late adulthood. I treat acute conditions, including sinus infections, urinary tract infections, gastroenteritis, and the common cold. I also manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension.

I look at my patients’ unique medical needs and create personalized care plans. I cheer for their achievements and help them through their times of struggle. My care team is compassionate and willing to help in any way we can. I like to answer questions and explain health conditions and treatment plans in a way that patients understand. I strive to be approachable and personable.

My approach to health and medicine emphasizes preventive care. Many chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, can be managed or even prevented through healthy eating and regular exercise. I believe that everyone deserves high-quality healthcare, and I treat each patient as I would want a family member to be treated.
