Broken Bones Lead to a Career in the Operating Room
Personal Experience and Hands-on Training at Touro, Combined with a Passion for Patient Care, Shape Nicholas Petrini’s Career in Orthopedic Spine Surgery
Thanks to a broken wrist and numerous other broken bones, Nicholas Petrini was in and out of the orthopedist’s office as a child. He developed a fascination with medicine early on that only grew during his college years at Stony Brook University. As he entered grad school, the School of Health Sciences ’25 Physician Assistant alum discovered his passion at Touro, where specialized clinical experiences including several years of orthopedic shadowing, a one-month clinical orthopedic rotation, and an advanced four-month orthopedic rotation at South Nassau Hospital solidified his commitment to patient care. Now practicing in a private spine surgery clinic in Long Island, NY he draws on his own personal experiences coupled with empathy and technical skills to deliver high-quality patient care.
