Following her training, the doctor attained board certification in both internal medicine and geriatric medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

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.
