Carmen J. Finamore, MD

Becoming a physician has been the fulfillment of a lifelong aspiration. I chose family medicine because it is uniquely positioned among all medical specialties to provide care to a complete spectrum of age groups, from birth to advanced age.

My patients range in age from newborns to those over 90 years old. I therefore get to treat my patients for a large variety of conditions and preventive care, including hypertension, diabetes, and lipid abnormalities. I love the diversity of medical experience this allows me to practice for my patients. Family medicine also affords me the opportunity to participate in patient wellness across the age spectrum.

Our practice began more than 30 years ago with two physicians, myself and my husband, along with the great help of our wonderful front office staff and nurses, many of whom remain with us today. We practice evidence-based medicine and all our providers stay current by attending programs or participating in various continuing medical education programs.

Over the years, our core values have remained the same. We treat everyone with respect and empathy, and keep in mind that the patient is part of the treatment team. We’re also attentive to the needs of the whole patient and make ourselves available to our patients.

As part of NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, I also supervise training of medical students in our office and at a student-run medical clinic for the medically underserved.

I am a diplomat in the American Board of Family Medicine, a fellow in the American Academy of Family Physicians, as well as a member of the American Medical Association and the New York State and Nassau County medical societies.
