Dr. Robert Montgomery, MD, PhD

Dr. Robert Montgomery, MD, PhD, is an adult transplant surgeon at NYU Langone Health in New York. He chairs its Department of Surgery and directs its Transplant Institute. His clinical work includes kidney transplantation and assessment of difficult donor-recipient matches.

A transplant consultation can involve different pathways for a recipient and a potential living donor. Ask the office which team should review your case before you arrange a visit. A hospital affiliation alone does not confirm appointment availability or eligibility for a procedure.

Kidney donation when compatibility is a barrier

Montgomery has helped develop paired kidney donation and approaches for incompatible donors and recipients. His Onassis Foundation professional biography describes his work on kidney exchanges and his earlier leadership of transplant services at Johns Hopkins.

He received his doctorate in molecular immunology from Oxford and completed general surgical, transplant and human molecular genetics training at Johns Hopkins. This combination connects surgical care with the science of immune compatibility. It does not mean an experimental procedure is suitable or available for every patient.

Confirm which New York clinic to visit

NYU lists a Manhattan practice at 550 First Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10016, with phone number 212-263-5800. Its Lake Success location is at 1999 Marcus Avenue, Suite 102, New Hyde Park, NY 11042, with phone number 516-344-0140.

This profile includes an address map for the Manhattan workplace. Confirm the location, floor and arrival instructions with the transplant office. Do not assume that an academic office address is the destination for your appointment.

Verified daily clinic hours and Montgomery’s personal appointment sessions were not available in the reviewed official sources. Unknown days are omitted from the opening-hours list. These New York workplaces use America/New_York local time, including seasonal daylight saving changes.

Medical qualifications listed by NYU

NYU’s clinical profile for Robert Montgomery lists his MD from the University of Rochester in 1987 and doctorate from Oxford in 1993. It records a transplant surgery fellowship at Johns Hopkins in 1999, general surgery board certification from 1996 and English as his clinical language.

Questions for the transplant office

Ask which referral documents and reports the team needs, how to send them and who will assess the case. Keep the office’s instructions with your questions. A potential donor should ask whether a separate evaluation is required.

Insurance coverage needs direct confirmation. NYU’s page displays an accepted-plan list alongside a statement that the provider does not accept insurance. Ask the office and insurer about the exact clinician, location, plan and any authorization before you arrange care.

NYU describes a multidisciplinary transplant team with specialist physicians, nurse coordinators, pharmacists, social workers and financial coordinators. Institute-wide services do not establish that Montgomery personally provides every procedure. This independent profile does not imply endorsement by the doctor or his institutions.
