Melissa D. Fana, MD

I knew from a young age that I would dedicate my life to medicine. First, I wanted to be a plastic surgeon because I was born with a cleft palate, a gap in the roof of my mouth. I had deep respect for the surgeon who performed my corrective surgery. Ultimately, my experiences in medical school led me into the field of breast cancer.

As a fellowship-trained breast surgical oncologist, I am passionate about providing the highest quality of care. I work with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan, and I use the latest surgical techniques to remove the cancer and prevent it from recurring.

I specialize in providing nipple-sparing mastectomy as well as Hidden Scar surgery, which minimizes the appearance of surgical incisions.

More than just providing a service, we care for the whole person. I deliver excellent care to people on Long Island, so that they do not have to drive into New York City or elsewhere for treatment.

I love empowering women through education to improve their breast cancer treatment and overall care. This is my commitment to the patients I serve.
