A highly skilled and experienced general and oncologic surgeon, Dr. David K. Halpern specializes in caring for people with breast cancer and a variety of abdominal conditions. He was inspired to pursue a career in medicine after losing their mother to breast cancer. The experience gave him a deep appreciation of the psychosocial impact of serious illness on patients and their families.  

*Expertise in Cancer and Abdominal Surgery* 
Dr. Halpern cares for people with a broad range of conditions, including the following: 

• breast cancer and benign breast disorders
• colon cancer and diverticulitis
• gallbladder disease and appendicitis
• complex and recurrent hernias, including hiatal hernias
• soft tissue and small bowel tumors
• stomach ulcers
• conditions affecting the spleen or adrenal glands  

Dr. Halpern and his team prioritize minimally invasive surgical techniques, using robotic and laparoscopic approaches, whenever possible. These advanced technologies help patients recover faster and experience fewer complications. He specializes in robotic abdominal wall reconstruction and repair of large, complex hernias. For patients who require or prefer open surgery, Dr. Halpern collaborates with plastic surgeons and anesthesia pain management specialists to ensure the best possible results.  

*A Patient-Centered Approach* 
As part of NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island’s Breast Cancer Center of Excellence, Dr. Halpern collaborates with a team of surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, radiologists, and geneticists to develop a customized cancer treatment plan for each patient he cares for. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that every patient receives comprehensive, compassionate care.
