Professional Experience: Dr Fiorentino is the Medical Director of Lakeview Internal Medicine since February 2000.

His warm and caring attitude that enables both patients and their families to feel comfortable and confident while making important medical decisions.
Personal Experience: Dr. Fiorentino and his wife have two children. During his free time he enjoys spending time with his family, watching his boys participate in club soccer, Traveling, Hiking, cooking, and tennis.
Inspirational Experience: When I graduated from medical school in 1987, I became the first physician in my family. I decided at a young age that I loved science and wanted to enter the medical field. After many years of hard work, I am glad I chose this path.
During my training in New York, and New Jersey I provided medical care to those most in need. I enjoyed working with patients, solving their unique problems. Each day was another lesson in the devastating impact of infectious diseases, addiction, as well as cardiac-related diseases, hypertension, and diabetes. My commitment to excellence in my chosen profession, the importance of preventive medicine, and the value of the best training were all reinforced by this experience.
Having completed medical studies in Europe, I realized that the best way to fulfill my potential in medicine would be to come to the United States, where I could benefit from the best training and research facilities in the world.
No matter how and where I practice medicine, I will strive to give my patients high quality, comprehensive medical care while recognizing their needs as individuals and as members of a family and community.
