Vincent Geraci, MD

Growing up, I was fascinated by how things worked. If I received a new toy, I would take it apart and put it back together again. During high school and college, I was most interested in science and math. Medicine was a natural pursuit for me and I found the specialty of internal medicine to be the most challenging.

As a general internist, I see a variety of adult patients with varying medical and social issues. Each day brings a new mix of people and conditions, but the challenge is worthwhile. It is gratifying to have two or three generations of family members as patients.

I believe that physicians and patients are partners. The physician’s role is to listen, examine, advise, explain a patient’s options, and offer treatment. The patient’s responsibility is to provide information, listen, ask questions, and then decide how he or she wishes to proceed.

Our practice has an excellent multispecialty team. Records are centralized so patients can have the majority of their medical needs met under one roof. We provide urgent consultations and communicate directly with patients. This all results in improved patient care.

I have been president of the Nassau County Medical Society, the Nassau County Society of Internal Medicine, and the Nassau County Academy of Medicine. I have also been a delegate from Nassau County to the New York State Medical Society and a long-term member of the Morgagni Medical Society of New York.
