    Q&A with Dr. Stephen Kottmeier, MD

    Q: What made you decide to pursue your specialty?

    A: My professional intentions, and ambitions throughout my career, followed a path towards the treatment of the critically injured from a musculoskeletal perspective. It has always been my goal to seek an outcome that restores the injured patient to their highest possible level of function. Unlike many medical conditions which can be managed more electively, my patients (and their families) are unprepared for the immediate crisis trauma can impose. Many dynamics come into play that must be addressed with compassion, and the skills of my colleagues and ancillary services we offer here at Stony Brook Medicine. I chose to pursue this profession owing to the intense satisfaction it affords me but more importantly the gift of healing I can offer others.

    A: My trauma patients and those presenting with isolated fractures can expect a very coordinated level of care in which multiple services serve together as a well-rehearsed orchestra. All members serve to seek the same goal: a well-educated patient whose personal and physical needs are managed with precision, skill and compassion.
