Her areas of expertise include concierge medicine, preventive medicine, wellness care, geriatric medicine, frail elderly, weight management, travel medicine, and telemedicine. 

Back in 1980, Dr. Lanman graduated with her medical degree from the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine in Canada. She then went on to perform her residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and her fellowship at Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation.

Following her training, the doctor attained board certification in both internal medicine and geriatric medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

Since moving into a full time private practice specializing in internal medicine and geriatric medicine in Great Neck, Dr. Lanman has been listed for many years in a row in NY Magazines’ “Best Doctors” issues. She has also again been selected for the prestigious 2019 Castle Connolly Top Regional Doctors Award.
