Keith C. Apuzzo, MD

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to become a doctor. As I got older and went through high school and college, I became certain that medicine was the field I wanted to pursue. I wanted to provide medical care for the whole patient—not just a specific disorder—and I wanted to help people of varied ages. I chose to specialize in family medicine because it provides the best framework of education, training, and clinical opportunities to offer the care I want to provide.

The specialty of family medicine uniquely prepared me to care for patients of all ages, including infants, children, adolescents, and adults. I am expertly trained in providing routine well care and care for most medical conditions.

Depending on the problem and diagnosis, I closely work with specialists and surgeons to provide our patients with the best and most current treatment options. We tailor treatments to the individual patient.

Our entire staff of receptionists, medical assistants, nurses, and providers are focused on helping our patients and doing what’s best for their health. My goal is to provide the highest quality medical care to my patients in a compassionate, patient-focused setting, while considering the unique needs of each person.

I teach medical students and residents on their primary care clinical rotations, as well as participants at the NYU Winthrop Student Health (WiSH) Clinic. I am a member of the American Medical Association, Nassau County Medical Society, and the Medical Society of the State of New York. Additionally, I am a diplomat of the American Board of Family Medicine and a fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
