About the Dolan Family Health Center

Huntington Hospital's Dolan Family Health Center provides medical care for men, women, and children. It is located in a convenient, easy-to-reach building on Pulaski Road in Greenlawn.

Medical services are provided by a team of physicians, nurse-practitioners, nurses, and health professionals who are assisted by a friendly, knowledgeable support staff. Many staff members are bilingual in either English and Spanish, or English and French. Patients see the same physician each time they visit the center. If their primary physician is unavailable, they will be treated by another physician, and their doctor will be updated on any new medical information.

Care is provided to people of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens by Board certified physicians in internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynecology. If the expertise of a subspecialist is required, patients are assisted in obtaining the appropriate medical help.

All services are provided in strict confidentiality.

Training Programs

There may be times when a medical student, student nurse, resident physician, or other health professional in training participates in your care. All are directly supervised by the attending physician. The Center jointly conducts training programs with both the North Shore Health System and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The presence of these trainees is an asset to our Center and enhances the quality of care. We recognize, however, that some people may prefer not to have trainees involved in their care; if this is the case, we ask that you please indicate so in advance to the office staff.
