Subject: Q&A with Hannah Ortiz, gynecologic oncologist in Long Island, New York (media interview)

"Is there a shortage of gynecologists on the North Fork?

I am the only gynecologist who has an office [full time] on the North Fork. And I'm the only gynecologist who has had a permanent office on the North Fork in 25 years. I'm not talking specialty. I'm talking general gyn. Riverhead is the town where the North and South forks separate. There are two ob-gyn practices in Riverhead. And there are several on the South Fork of Long Island, East Hampton, Southampton and Hampton Bays. The only [full-time] gyn practice on the North Fork driving east is mine."
