Our Nurses

We have been blessed to work closely with some of the most experienced nurses in the South Shore of Long Island. Our staff comes from a background in emergency medicine, critical care, and interventional cardiology. They are an integral part of our stroke care team, and a major reason behind the Stroke & Brain Aneurysm Center’s success on Long Island.

Our expert endovascular procedural nurses are Michelle Grippo, RN, Michelle Abbatiello, RN, Sharon Johnston, RN and Rob Mussachio, RN.
