“The Stony Brook Medicine Department of Surgery is excited to welcome doctors Marc Finkelstein, Robert Turoff and their practice to the Stony Brook Medicine community,”

“They have a combined 75 years of experience as surgeons, including general, colorectal, gastroenterology, trauma, surgical oncology and breast surgeries,” Tassiopoulos added. “Their extensive experience will be a valuable resource to Stony Brook’s far-reaching goal to provide the best patient care to our Long Island community.”
