Bruce M. Solitar, MD

As a rheumatologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive care. My approach emphasizes understanding each patient's unique needs and fostering a collaborative environment to achieve optimal health outcomes.

I specialize in diagnosing and treating patients with arthritis and related conditions, with a particular focus on fibromyalgia. My clinical expertise allows me to manage complex cases and provide tailored treatment plans that address both the physical and emotional aspects of these chronic conditions. My goal is to enhance my patients' quality of life through effective management and innovative therapies.

Throughout my career, I have held several leadership positions, including co-director of the rheumatology clinic at the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System and section chief of the Division of Rheumatology at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital. These roles have equipped me with unique skills and methodologies that I bring to my practice, ensuring that my patients receive the highest standard of care. Additionally, my research interests in inflammatory arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders have led to numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, contributing to advancing the field of rheumatology.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. I pursued my medical degree with a focus on internal medicine and rheumatology, driven by a passion for understanding complex diseases and improving patient care.

As an educator, I am committed to training the next generation of physicians, serving as assistant program director of the Division of Rheumatology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and instructing medical students and residents. This dual role in clinical practice and education allows me to stay at the forefront of medical advances and deliver the best possible care to my patients.
