My clinical practice is confined to Surgery of the Hand. I joined the medical staff of NSUH in 1980, when I first entered practice, and have combined clinical hand surgery with teaching and research ever since. In 1995 I joined the medical staff at LIJMC. In 2011 I joined the fulltime Northwell Health Department of Orthopaedic Surgery as Orthopaedic Residency Program Director and Chief of Hand Surgery. Taking care of patients is my primary interest and motivation to go to work every day. My goal is to treat every patient with the most care, compassion, and skill that I can manifest. Currently, I treat patients with a broad range of hand problems from arthritis and deformity to carpal tunnel syndrome, other nerve disorders, benign tumors, and Dupuytren s Disease. I was recognized with an Arnold P. Gold Foundation Gold DOC award for skill, sensitivity, caring, and compassion in 2015. I have been listed yearly in Castle Connelly s Best Doctors since 1998. I have been active in national and regional professional organizations, having served on more than 20 committees of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery and other professional organizations. I have been an Associate Editor of the American Journal of Hand Surgery since 1991. I was an officer of the NY Society for Surgery of the Hand between 1996 and 2000 and was President in my final year. For Northwell Health, I am Chief of Hand Surgery at NSUH and LIJMC, and serve as the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program Director. I am deeply involved at Zucker SOM at Hofstra/Northwell, serving in many roles: President of the SOM Faculty Council (2019 to 2021), participate on the Dean s Advisory Group, am a Departmental Advisor for medical students interested in Orthopedics, teach in the Structure course, and oversee the clinical experience for medical students in their third and fourth years. In addition to my leadership role in Faculty and Resident research projects in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, I am personally involved in clinical and basic science research. I have had considerable outside academic activity, with more than 40 peer review publications, over 100 podium and poster presentations, and dozens of faculty presentations at national courses and meetings.

Margherita Bruni, MD

Margherita Bruni, MD, is an otolaryngologist who specializes in disorders of the ears, nose, and throat, including head and neck lumps, and sinus issues including polyps and breathing and swallowing issues. She's also assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell."When I was 3 years old, I told my mom I wanted to be a doctor and I never wavered in that goal," she says. "I was always fascinated by the idea that we can heal other people." That focus sharpened when she was an undergraduate in college and her grandfather developed lung cancer. She was able to be part of his cancer journey from biopsy through treatment, and remembers how he was treated with compassion and dignity. "That just cemented by love for medicine," she recalls. "I wanted to offer that kind of care for others."While attending the State University of New York at Buffalo for medicine, she chose surgery as her emphasis, and ENT as a specialty. She did her residency at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, becoming chief resident, and then did a fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital in 2014 for cranial base surgeries, where she trained in complex sinus procedures. A year later, she became an attending physician for Northwell Health.Dr. Bruni is also involved in research, particularly for sinus issues such as nasal polyps. She's currently working on issues related to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, or HHT, a rare genetic disorder that can cause severe nose bleeds. Along with researchers from The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, she's focusing on starting an HHT center of excellence at Northwell.Although Dr. Bruni appreciates every aspect of surgery and research, she is most drawn to patient care, and always keeps in mind that each patient is someone's beloved family member. The way her grandfather was treated is always top of mind, and sets a high standard of care for her approach."Now that I have children, I think about how I would want my kids to be treated, or how I would treat someone in my own family," she says. "Also important is that every interaction and process is meaningful, even if it's just ear wax cleaning. I want every patient to leave feeling better, no matter what they're facing, big or small."
