Pascal Ngongmon, MD, MHA
Dr. Pascal Ngongmon is an internist who specializes in sleep medicine, Obesity Medicine and hospital medicine. He is triple board certified in Internal Medicine, Sleep Medicine and Obesity Medicine. He graduated from the University of Perugia in Italy.
He did his residency at Lincoln Medical Center in New York and fellowship at the University of Missouri in Columbia. He also holds a master's degree in healthcare administration from the University of Maryland.
​
Dr. Ngongmon lives by the quote “Do not go where the path may lead you, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”. He believes the path of current medical practice has failed to give voice to what he describes as the silent vital signs: SLEEP AND WEIGHT.
Dr. Ngongmon recognizes the impact these two vital signs could have on the physical and psychological well-being of his patients. He believes each patient is unique and works with them supportively, using evidence-based guidelines in providing a personalized treatment path towards their optimal sleep and weight loss goals.
As a medical student, he collaborated on a research on the use of incretins in diabetes with the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Disease at the University of Perugia, Italy, which was the subject of his defense thesis at graduation in 2008: “ Le incretine: Il nuovo approccio terapeutico per il diabete mellito di tipo II”; which spurred his interest in use of GLP-1 agonist for medical weight loss, way before they became widely used for this purpose. He has been treating patients for obesity with excellent results for more than 5 years now.
​
His interest in sleep medicine started during residency training while caring for patients hospitalized for complications from sleep apnea including heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke.
​
Besides English, he speaks Italian, French and is working on improving his Spanish. Outside of work, Dr. Ngongmon enjoys the outdoors, discovering new trails, museums, music, playing tennis and soccer.
