Dr. Nicholas D. Caputo

Director of Urgent & Home Care, Atria New York

New York

Dr. Nicholas D. Caputo is an emergency medicine physician and U.S. Army Reserve Major with a passion for research, direct patient care, and ensuring medical practices in emergency situations are as evidence-based and up-to-date as possible. “Research allows me to deliver care to patients with the mindset of treating their unique and individual issue,” says Dr. Caputo. “I am excited to apply health care to the individual.”

Dr. Caputo oversees urgent and home care at Atria New York and serves as Associate Chief of the Department of Emergency Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals / Lincoln Medical Center in the South Bronx. Board certified in emergency medicine, Dr. Caputo is an Associate Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and an attending emergency physician at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital / Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

As a Major in the United States Army Reserve, Dr. Caputo is currently assigned to the 947th Forward Resuscitative and Surgical Team, which recently completed a tour with the Special Forces in Somalia. “I have always wanted to serve,” he says. “I decided to join the Reserves in 2016 in order to serve those who serve us.”

As a frontline worker in New York City during the early days of Covid-19, he and his colleagues published research that changed the real-time treatment of infected patients through proning to delay or prevent intubation.

His team also published the only reported-outcomes data for the New York City public hospital system, which shed light on the inequities and disparities of Covid-19 outcomes in the city. “I am very mission driven when it comes to serving the underserved,” he says.

Dr. Caputo earned his medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine after completing a Masters of Science in marine microbiology, also at St. George’s. He then completed his internship in General Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, and his Residency and Chief Residency in Emergency Medicine at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, also in the Bronx. He is fellowship trained in critical-care retrieval medicine through Careflight and the Royal Darwin Hospital in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

“Emergency medicine is a young specialty,” says Dr. Caputo. “It’s only fifty years old, and medicine that young is conventional by nature. In my research, I have been able to pursue and question conventional wisdom to find the best answer for the person sitting in front of me. Sometimes we investigate the routine standard of care and find it isn't actually what’s best for the patient. And with the Atria model, we want to use personalization down to the genome, tailoring health care to the individual, instead of by cohort.”
