Richard F. Carlino, MD

As a family medicine physician at NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Garden City, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to my patients. My approach focuses on building long-term relationships, ensuring that patients feel heard and supported throughout their healthcare journey. I emphasize patient education and empowerment, helping individuals take control of their health through informed decisions and proactive management.

I specialize in treating patients with a wide range of conditions, focusing on preventive health, managing chronic disease, and lifestyle modifications. My experience spans both inpatient and outpatient care, allowing me to address diverse health needs effectively. I am particularly passionate about preventive screenings and early interventions, which are crucial in maintaining long-term wellness and preventing serious complications.

With more than 14 years of experience in family medicine, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. I have been part of the NYU Langone community for more than six years, where I have had the privilege of working with a diverse patient population. My board certification by the American Board of Family Medicine underscores my commitment to maintaining high standards of care and continuous learning in my field.

My educational journey began at St. George’s Medical School, followed by a residency in family medicine at the Institute for Family Health in Kingston, New York. Beyond clinical practice, I am dedicated to teaching the next generation of physicians. As a preceptor, I strive to instill the values of empathy, thoroughness, and the importance of patient-centered care in medical students. This role allows me to contribute to the future of medicine while staying engaged with the latest advances in healthcare.

My passion for medicine was sparked by a personal experience at a young age, which ignited a deep curiosity and desire to understand the medical field. This early inspiration has driven my commitment to becoming a physician who listens, educates, and empowers patients. Additionally, I am actively involved in the broader medical community, representing Long Island as a delegate for the New York State Academy of Family Physicians. In this role, I advocate for the needs of family physicians and work to improve healthcare policy and practice environments.
