We are pleased to introduce Dr. Donald Doukas, the new Associate Medical Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine and Medical Director for Emergency Preparedness.
Dr. Doukas was born and raised in the town of Babylon on Long Island, and it is where he “got the bug” to pursue medicine after volunteering as an EMT for the Town of Babylon Fire Department while attending Adelphi University. He later attended SUNY Downstate for medical school and is board-certified after completing a combined Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine residency at Kings County in Brooklyn, where he served as Chief in his fifth year. He then completed a Disaster Medicine and Emergency Preparedness fellowship at SUNY Downstate. After training, he served as the Associate Medical Director for the Emergency Department and Director of Observation Medicine for Kings County.
Dr. Doukas treats a wide range of medical conditions and has an interest in highly infectious special pathogens. He is excited to “bring his previous experience to help our community grow and thrive”. Dr. Doukas always strives to be a doctor that people can trust and be comforted by, and he “takes pride in the rapport he builds with patients and their family members”.
We are proud to welcome Dr. Doukas to our team and look forward to the work he and the rest of the Emergency Department will do to provide high-quality care to our community.
